Harlan-428 and Harlan-966 appear to represent the same person because: There is no record for an Ellis Harlan born in 1790, sonI suggest merging him with the Ellis born in 1804.

I don't find any record that includes "Ellis Harlan, Jr," Ellis Harlan had a great-grandson also named "Ellis Harlan" who was born about 1831.
