Biography

I became interested in researching my family's history decades ago. My grandmother used to say that someone should write a book about our family, because it's better than any soap opera or work of fiction. I've often seriously considered doing so, but I knew I would need to find out more about my ancestors first.

Around 2003 I finally got serious about genealogy. I've done a lot of searching and verifying info on many different ancestor lines. Some branches have been easier than others. Some leave me scratching my head. In others I've hit a brick wall. But I still keep working them. I'm continually looking for more family members. My greatest excitement in all this research comes when I find information about the individuals in my family tree that make them seem more "real" to me.

My main focus is related to the Dwight Edmond, Barbara Hardin and Goldie Lang lines.

I believe your JONATHAN HARDIN is the grandson of John Harding who was witness to the will of Mary Perrot. Their descendants likely never left the area until your RICHARD.

Suggests your Hardin was related to George Harding in England or alternately that your line has some link to John Richard Ball, Sr. and Winifred Williams or their descendants

I know for a fact that Richard Hardin(g) (1755-1828) was sent to the colonies as a British Recruiter against his will. When he arrived, he deserted and joined up with the Continental Line. During the Battle of Germantown he was wounded by a Hessian soldier when he was shot in the arm. Even though he lost the use of his arm, he still wanted to continue helping in the fight. His Captain recommended him personally to Georgia Washington and he became a mail bearer for him.

My source for this information is from the journal of Albert Gallatin Hardin, a grandson of Richard’s. In his journal was a handwritten paper from Albert’s nephew, Edwin D. Hardin which gave all these details. The note also states that there was a set of Siamese twins that came over also.

If that's accurate, then the MRCA would be in England prior to the mid-1600s. George Harding never left London. If the connection isn't through the Hardins then its probably through the Balls.

I’m fairly certain his parents are Jonathan Harding and Mary Wright. Jonathan was from Christchurch, Spitalfields, Middlesex, London. From what I can tell, he brought members of his family and his future wife to the colonies, Pennsylvania I believe. He and his first wife (Mary Watts) were married in Dec of 1779 in PA.

Hi Kathy, I believe we met over at ancestryDNA, I'm Bella610. We would be 5th cousins 1x removed. Our connection goes back to Niels Ottosen and Karen Jorgensdatter. I haven't used this site in a long time as it seemed like I was duplicating work. I stumbled back on it when doing the descendant research. Did I send you the connection information already on ancestry?
