Julie,
I suspect that your Harmons are from the Carolinas. My family is from the SC Harmons, (Melchior Herrmann Harmon from Germany landed in SC in 1752), a number of whom moved to Georgia and Mississippi.
You might look to the NC and SC branches.

: My grandfather was Newton Judson
: Harmon and was born in Butts County,
: GA in 1906. His father was Newton
: J. Harmon. 1900 census stated that
: he and his parents were born in
: Georgia. He was a highly educated
: man, started the first school in the
: Butts County area, was a tax
: collector and editor of the local
: paper. Yet, I cannot find any
: records of him or his parents in
: Georgia. I have searched
: surrounding counties in vain. I
: have also visited the county seat
: (Jackson) looking for answers, and
: there just aren't any. He and his
: wife, Leila L. Bankston Harmon are
: buried in the city cemetery there.
: Would LOVE to hear from you if you
: have any more info!!! Maybe I could
: fill in some of the blanks on your
: family tree! (we are all nuts!)
: Thanks in advance.
