The following about Samuel is from Ken Harnden:

In 1816 he was constable in the Town of Mentz, Cayuga Co., NY

In March 1837 was constable of the Town of Mentz, Cayuga Co., NY and served as president in 1839, 1842 and 1843.
From History of Cayuga County, New York by Elliot G Storke.

From Geraldine Oakley's book:
"Charlotte Peacock Mahagan remembers that she was taught that Samuel's father was also named Samuel. He was the son of Samuel Harnden of Johnsburg in present day Warren Co., NY, but which
was in Washington Co., NY until 1810 when Warren Co., NY was formed.

He operated the Lock Store on the original Erie Canal in Port Byron at one time, and had a livery business there. The store was operated only while the canal ran through the village of Port Byron, not after the canal bed was moved north of the village. The NY census of 1855 says he had lived in Port Byron for 43 years, so he would have arrived there about 1812. He was usually described as a harness maker and shoe maker, probably taught the trade by his father who was a shoemaker and harness maker, and a trade which Samuel Jr taught to his sons.

Two account books from his businesses remain. One is from the store
and the other reflects his business as a shoemaker. These are held in
1999 by Geraldine Oakley."

Samuel married Higley, Asenath 1814, Cayuga, NY. Asenath was born 15 Mar 1791, Ballston, Saratoga, NY, USA; died Bet. 1821 - 1830. [Group Sheet]

Notes for Asenath from Ken Harnden:

Geraldine Oakley's book:

"Her parents were Seth Higley and Lucy Holcombe, daughter of Lord and Lady Holcombe of England and their children were Samuel, Seba, Enos, Prilla, Desire, Asenath and Minerva. Seth Higley was born 29 Oct 1746, married in 1768, enlisted in War of the Revolution in 1776 in the 18th regiment under Lt. Job Case. He settled in Port Byron, NY in 1779 and died there in 1829. Information about Asenath and her parents, their children and Samuel and Asenath's children was
obtained from a typed sheet found in family papers that had been owned by Marjorie Peacock Lockwood and had originated with Hazel Lane Harnden. In 1999 that paper is owned by Geraldine Lockwood Oakley."

Notes:

Samuel resided in Granville, New York as well as Wells, Danby Corners and Warrenburg, VT.

He was a soldier in the Revolutionary War in Colonel John
Williams regiment.

The following is from:

Military minutes of the Council of Appointment of the State of New York, 1783-1821 Vol. 1 & 2

Samuel Harnden Sr. (1751)
1786 Ensign, Lieut. Col. Commandant Adam Martin?s Regiiment, Washington Co., NY
1789 Vice Captain, Colonel Adam Martin?s Regiment
1793 Captain, Light Infantry, Lieut. Colonel Commandant John Buck?s regiment

Johanna and Samuel married in Nathan Draper's home.

Samuel is given credit as the patriarch of the Canadian lines.

The following is from the Harnden family tree book written in Canada in the 1980's:

'Samuel Harnden the accredited root of our ever bearing family tree, married Johanna Draper on Feb. 15, 1776, in her home town of Killingly, Windham Co., Connecticut. Although there are no given dates, Samuel fathered two other sons, William and Orbin.

Family legend indicates that Samuel's progeny remained loyal to Britain long after the American War of Independence. Some Harndens helped protect our Canadian sovereignty during the War (1812-1814).
Already Zadock had settled in Ontario where he had died at over Ninety years of age.

A generation later, three sons of William migrated to Canada. Reportedly they came in their own barge via the Erie Canal which was completed by 1825. In time their two uncles, Orbin and Ziba, arrived to join the clan.'

It should be noted that the family actually fought each other on both sides of the War of 1812.

Samuel married Draper, Johanna 15 Feb 1776, Killingly, Windham, CT. Johanna (daughter of Draper, Nathan and Roberts, Johanna) was born 2 Apr 1756, Killingly, Windham, CT, USA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Email received Sept. 9, 1998 from Barbara Spain, BLBSJOS@aol.com

Joyce: I received your e-mail about the Drapers, specifically, your Gideon,
and his parents, Nathan and Joanna Robards. Yes, Nathan and Joanna are my
ancestors, too. My descent is through their daughter, Joanna, who married
Samuel Harnden.
I find it interesting that you used the spelling "Robards." I have seen that
used a couple times, but I have usually seen it spelled "Roberts." Do you
have reason to believe the name was actually "Robards?" Probably most
research we would do would list the two spellings as one family; but one never
knows for sure.
You say that you have a Nathan and a Nathan Jr. in the 1790 Census for
Washington Co., NY and you wonder if this is the Nathan who married Joanna. I
am almost certain that it is. I, too, have seen that Census, and almost all
the Drapers were in NY at that time, as was Samuel Harnden, who my Joanna
married. You probably noticed, as I did, that in 1790, James, Nathan, and
Nathan, Jr., were all living in a row, with Nathaniel a few houses away and
Samuel Harnden a few houses away from the Drapers. Jonathan Harnden was
there, too. I'm not sure how Jonathan was related to my Samuel.
Another interesting piece of information is that Nathaniel Draper, son of
Nathan and Joanna, married a Hannah Roberts in 1779. She was probably related to Joanna in some way, besides the fact that Hannah was Joanna's daughter-in-law.
You ask if I can shed any light on death dates for Nathan and Joanna.
Unfortunately, I cannot. I do know that they were married on 18 January, 1748
in Killingly, CT. But their death dates and places are unknown to me.
You say your Gideon died in Union Co., Ohio. Was he buried there as well? I have recorded that Gideon, Nathan, Jr., and Ruben, all served in the Dutchess County, NY, Militia, and that their brother John served in the Albany County,
Ny, Militia. Perhaps that is something you can add to your records.
I was glad to hear from you, and I hope we can stay in touch by e-mail.

Notes:

In Lee-Oatman Cemetery, South Granville, Washington, New York, there is an unmarked grave at the side of Jonathan's grave which is thought to be his wife's grave.

As a young man, he moved to the vicinity of Hebron and Salem, Connecticut with his parents and siblings. He was a soldier in the French and Indian War.

He served with the Connecticut Militia that invaded Canada in 1755.
He was in Capt. Isreal Putnam's company in the campaign against the French around Lake George, Fort Edward, Fort Ticonderoga and at Crown Point. He was at Quebec in 1760 under command of Isreal Putnam.

He was also a soldier in the Revolutionary War. He saw active service as Sergeant of his company, on the march to West Chester following the "Lexington Alarm" and in the campaigns around New York City in 1776. In these campaigns he served as Sergeant in the 5th Company, Captain Ephraim Warren, Lieutenant David Waters, 11th Regiment, Colonel Ebinezer Williams of Pomfret, Conn. Lieutenant Colonel Isreal Putnam of Pomfret, 3rd Brigadier General Gordon Saltonstall (Succeeded by Brigadier General John Tyler) Connecticut Militia.
He was a Sergeant in one of the celebrated Connecticut Regiments that won distinction under General Benedict Arnold at the battle of Saratoga in 1777.

After having seen Northeastern New York during the campaigns, both in the French and Indian Wars and in the Revolutionary War, he moved to that locality in 1779, taking advantage of the "Land Grant" to Revolutionary Soldiers.

He was one of the seven original settlers at Granville, Washington Co, (Charlotte Co. first) New York, in 1779. He built conaucted (spelled like it is in letter.) a hotel with a large hall connected with it at Granville. (The hotel burned down in 1930).

Jonathan owned this dance hall in Granville, Washington, New York according to the Harnden/Edgecomb Manuscript.

Originally John S. Harnden, Jonathan's son supposedly died by drowning in the Niagara River according to family legend. This was suppose to have happened about 1812. However, John S. is found in Vermont until 1830. Given the fact that Jonathan died in 1813, I suggest it was probably he who died by drowning.

Jonathan — Phebe. [Group Sheet]

email from Elwin Draper
Joyce and Margaret,

I will send this info to both of you at once since I think you would both be
interested.

In looking back through some old notes, I found that I had copied some info
from the 1790 NY Census in Washington Co. On page 188, in Granville Twp.,
the following three Draper families are listed consecutively: James (1
adult male, 2 males under 16, 1 female); Nathan (1-1-2), Nathan; Jr.
(1-0-3). 12 visits away is Nathaniel Draper (1-2-5). Granville, NY, is
perhaps 30 miles north and slightly west of Shaftsbury, VT.

File this under "For What It's Worth". May be of some importance in later
research.
