  Notes	The son of Charles & Grace A. Harley, in 1860 he was a laborer living with his family in Middletown, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. He stood 5' 10" tall and had black hair, black eyes, and a black complexion although several censuses claim he had a mulatto complexion. A Civil War veteran, he enlisted in Boston, Massachusetts, February 18, 1864, mustered into federal service at Camp Meigs, Readville, Massachusetts, March 4 as a private with Co. G, 5th Massachusetts Cavalry. (From May 12, 1864, on, the regiment served as an infantry regiment despite retaining its original name.) He was confined in the guard house as of August 29, 1864, but his compiled military service records make no further mention of the incident, and no general court-martial transcript was located. In July 1865, he was detached to a work detail on the railroad and honorably discharged with his company October 31, 1865, at Clarksville (likely the one in Cameron County), Texas. His older brother William T. Harley served in the same company. He married Amanda J. Anderson and fathered Amanda (b. @1873) and Minnie (b. @1876).
