    He appears to be the Harbaugh who helped settle Tuscarawas Co., OH:

    Among the nest settlers were John Kline, Abraham Cazier, Michael Flickinger, John Harbaugh and Benjamin Jackson, all of whom were probably here when the county was organized. Benjainin Jackson. a powerfully-built Virginian, and a cousin of President Andrew Jackson, came to the Western wilds in the spring of 1807, built his cabin on Military Lot 23, in the northeast part of Sandy, and brought his family of grown sons and daughters to the new land in the autumn of the same year. Mr. Jackson owned a considerable tract of land, and his children-Francis, Mary (Hatfield), Joseph, Elizabeth (Miller), Thomas, Nancy (Eakin), Edward, Rebecca (Hill) and William-were soon comfortably settled on adjoining farms. They were of the Presbyterian faith. Benjamin Jackson died in his forest home, and most of his sons, with the true pioneer spirit, emigrated further West. None now bear the name in Sandy Township. John Kline, of Westmoreland County, Penn., entered the northwest quarter of Section 15, on the western line of the township, journeyed to it in the fall of 1807, built a cabin and made a little clearing, then brought out his family the following spring. He was a Lutheran. His children were Jacob, Henry, John, Philip, Daniel, Elizabeth (Snelbaker), Catherine, Eva (Flickinger), Hannah (Keller) and Margaret (Burns). Mr. Kline died on the farm; his descendants are widely scattered. Abraham Cazier came probably, in the autumn of 1807, and settled on Military Lot 26. The first Methodist meetings within the limits of the township were held at his house. The name of the first minister is forgotten. Rev. Travis was the second and James B. Finley the third. Mr. Cazier, later in life, removed to near Sparta, Stark County, where he died. John Harbaugh was one of the earliest settlers in the county. He located first in Dover Township, then settled in Sandy. He was a blacksmith from Frederick County, Md. Isaac Harbaugh, one of his sons, also settled early in what is now Sandy. Michael Flickinger came from Pennsylvania, and settled on the northwest quarter of Section 6 about 1808. He was a well-to-do farmer, and owned also the east half of Section 6. He died on his farm.
