Jacob Myrick Harward, 12 Oct 1783 England*-30 Aug 1866 Oakboro, Stanly, NC, was the eldest son of James Harward and Rosanah Barbee. He came to Stanly County by the way of Virginia and Wake County. He married Mildred “Milea” Yates, 12 Mar 1784 Wake Co, NC-9 Jan 1863 Stanly Co, NC, daughter of William Yates and Mary Tapp, on 28 Nov 1803 in Wake County NC. 

The story has been passed down that Myrick Harward bought approximately 1,000 acres of land on Rocky River in the south central section of what is now Stanly County. He lived in the Rocky River Valley and is buried at the old Harward Cemetery near the forks of Rocky River and Long Creek about three miles east of Oakboro.

Myrick and Milea had 12 children whose names, birth dates, marriages and death dates are recorded in the old family Bible. I have seen a transcription of the Bible on a message board on Ancestry.com., but have not obtained permission to use it here.
*Some sources state Myrick was born in England and some state Wake County NC
