After his father died, he was no longer considered to be a "Jr." He was known simply as "Harman Back," in all of the Tax Lists (from 1782 through 1789, in both Little Fork, and in nearby Fauquier County, where he had leased some land); in the 1783 Treasury Warrant List (when he bought 1,000 acres in Kentucky); in the 1789 land deed (in which he sold his father's 100-acre farm that he had inherited from him); and in his 1794 will (which he signed with his "mark," because he could not write).

Despite what a few people attempt to "prove," it has been decisively confirmed, and well-documented, that the Harman Back family is not related to the Back (Bach) family in southeastern Kentucky, in any way whatsoever.

Many Board-Certified Genealogists, as well as the expert genealogists at DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution), have confirmed that Harman Back (born 1708) only had one son, which was Harman Back Jr. (born 1737). They have also confirmed that Henry Back (1740-1809), who was related to the Back (Bach) family in southeastern Kentucky, was definitely not Harman's son.
