Per L&M Companion:
Harman, Sir John, kt. 1665 (d. 1673). One of the most experienced of contemporary seamen, he served in all three Dutch wars; in the last two as a flag-officer. A parliamentary inquiry exonerated him for his failure to pursue the enemy after the Battle of Lowestoft (1665). A John Harman lived in New Palace Yard in 1658 and 1661.
