First Cistronration

THOMAS HARDIN/HARDING

was built-in in England. He died in Norfolk, VA. OUR IMMIGRANT Antecedent Thomas appears to have been the father of our Thomas, but I have besides seen speculation that our Thomas Hardin who married Mary Giles was the son of a William Hardin./vsm Thomas Harding came out with Capt. Moore Fauntleroy circa 1650, lived in Norfolk County, VA. In 1659 he and his wife Elizabeth conveyed real manor to Annie Harding, perhaps a daughter. Received a patent of 240 acres of land,1679-1689 role of a grant to Thomas Harding deceased, before 1689. "The Hairstons and Penns and Their Relations," page 123. "HARDEN. The name Harden is found in Virginia at an early date. It appears that Thomas Harden came out with Capt. Moore Fontleroy May 22nd, one650. Between the years 1654-5, a patent is recorded for 740 acres issued to Thomas Harden. Between 1655-64 another patent for 740 acres and between 1666-79 for 525 more than. This settler lived in Norfolk County and in 1659 with his wife Elizabeth conveyed real estate there describing himself equally of "Lynhaven River, in lower Norfolk." Anne Harden, alias Emperner of lower Norfolk perchance a daughter of the above, received a patent for 249 acres, 1679-89, part of a not bad to Thomas Harden act. The latter died therefore before 1689. The name has been variously spelled both in Virginia and Western States: Harden, Hardin, and Harding." Of Capt Fauntleroy: "He immigrated before 1643 to Upper Norfolk Co., VA. He was a member of the Business firm of Burgesses at Virginia. He resided circa 1648 at 'Naylor's Hole', Lancaster Co., VA. He was a Colonel of the militia in 1656 at Virginia." The lands of Thomas Harding, John Harding, John Ellis, and Nicholas Perkins adjoined each other in Henrico Co. Va.

This clan took its proper name from the race of Scots who landed in Argyll and established the settlement of Dal Riada. The association traces its descent from Uchtred Filius Scoti (son of a Scot) from the early i2th Century. Moto: Amo (I love) – Sir Walter Scott is from the Buccleuch-Hardin Line. Many people with the Harden surproper noun may exist part of The Scotts Association. The Scotts of Harden may accept taken the surname Harden (or Hardin, etc.) upon immigration much like the Scotts of Buccleuch changed their proper noun to Buckalew or a similar spelling.

(THOMAS) was born 1686 in Henrico Co, VA. He died 1731 in Henrico Co, VA. Thomas Harding (father of Thomas) came out with Capt. Moore Fauntleroy 1650, lived in Norfolk Co., Va. In 1659 he and his married woman Elizabeth conveyed existent estate to Annie Harding, perhaps a daughter., received a patent of 240 acres of land,1679-1689 part of a grant to Thomas Harding deceased, before 1689. Thomas Harding, his son, received a patent 10-31-1716 for 319 acres for the transporting of vi people to dwell within our colony and dominion of Virginia. The state is described on the north side of the James river. This was the first portion of land laid out for the French refuges(the Huguenots). This Thomas Harding married Mary Giles, girl of William Giles, a planter, in Henrico canton, Va. His volition dated iii-four-1728-1729 was probated 4-five-1731. His wife Mary was executrix.

THOMAS HARDING was born 1685 in VA, and died abt. 1731 in Henrico Co., VA. He married MARY GILES abt. 1710 in Henrico Co. VA, daughter of WILLIAM GILES and BETHANIA KNOWLES. She was built-in abt. 1688 in VA, and died Aft. 1742 in Henrico Co., VA. "The Hairstons and Penns and Their Relations," page 123. Thomas Harden, son of the in a higher place, received a patent October 31, 1716 for 319 acres. "In consideration of the importation of half-dozen persons to dwell inside this our colony and dominion of Virginia." The state is described equally situated on the east side of the main eastern branch, on the north side of James River, and every bit being part of the first portion of country out for French "refugees."

Notes for THOMAS HARDING: There are numerous Harding families who settled in Virginia from the early on 1600s onward. At one time, it was believed that the ancestry of this Thomas Harding led back to England to a George Harding, a London grocer, and wife, Mary Orley. Other researchers dispute this lineage. Yet, information technology is known that this Thomas Harding had a brother named "William" and both brothers are probably be sons of a William Harding. "The earliest ancestor of the Tuckahoe Creek Hardings, known with certainty, is Thomas Harding (I), first mentioned in Henrico Co., VA records of the early 1700s. It is causeless he was an adult over 21, at this time. Proof of his father's identity has non yet been found, but information technology seem plausible he could take been the William Harding mentioned in Henrico and Charles Metropolis Co. records of 1677-1700. The records of this William Harding also involve several families, Smith, Harris, and Watkins, whose lives are intertwined with the Tuckahoe Hardings over the adjacent 2 centuries. This forth with the fact that Thomas Harding's brother William (I) sold land in eastern Henrico Co., not far from Charles City Co., has led me to believe that they are sons of William Harding of Charles City Co., VA. I have as well seen the merits that Thomas was the son of Thomas Harding, headright of Capt. Moore Fauntleroy, May 1660 (Wulfeck Supp., p. 4), just have plant no evidence to support information technology."
