    Notes:

    Because that part of Eastern Mass., where the early Harnden families lived had become thickly populated. Barachias Harnden and his family (sometime after 1735) migrated to the frontier in the vicinity of Hebron and Salem, Connecticut.

    The family was at this location during the French and Indian war, when all male members of the family of military age went with the Colonial Troops for the invasion of Canada about 1755.

    The women and children were left alone to provide for themselves and had to drive back the hostile Mohegan Indians for more then a year. The family evidently remained together in this location until the close of the Revolution.

    When his son Jonathan and his immediate family moved to Granville, New York.

    Barrachius was a soldier in the Revolationary War, from the vicinity of Salem, Conn., he served from 2 Aug 1778 to 12 Sep 1778, in Capt. David Cady's Company of Colonel Chapman's Regiment of the Connecticut Militia.

    Notes:

    Daniel Thomas Harnden has Sarah's death place as Connecticut, however this isn't proven. It is also possible her name actually wasn't Sherman there are a number of Sherman lines documented and I do know of three Harnden men that married Sherman girls, but this one I cannot prove.

    ELIZABETH, DAUGHTER OF HENRY

    Elizabeth, the eldest daughter of Henry and his wife Sarah,
    was born at Andover, December 29, 1670. Probably she
    joined at the proper age the North Andover Church, but
    the early records of that church have disappeared, either
    destroyed, or deposited in some place of safety that has
    been forgotten.

    At the age of thirty-one, she married June 14, 1711,
    Benjamin Harnden of Reading, Massachusetts. Elizabeth?s brother William left by will the greater part of his property to his brother Humphrey. His other brothers and sisters
    signed quitclaims to the estate. One record begins ?I, Benjamin Harnden and Elizabeth Harnden, of the town of Reading in the county of Middlesex.? This is dated December 2, 1720.

    The Harnden family is not an easy one to trace. The first difficulty is in the spelling of the name: Harenden, Harndell, Harnden, Hornden, Herndin, Horndell?are a few of the
    variations of the surname.

    Elizabeth?s husband, Benjamin Harnden, the son of Richard, was born April 24, 1671, four months after Elizabeth had been born at Andover. Benjamin first married Mary,
    February 10, 1690-91. Five children are given as born to Benjamin and Mary, the last record being of twins, June 19, 1699. The date of his first wife is not known. As stated above, he married Elizabeth Holt, June 14, 1711. The birth of Berckus, son of Benjamin Harnden and Elizabeth, is recorded at Reading in 1712.

    The Harnden families lived in the part of Reading that was annexed in 1729 to Wilmington. In the Wilmington records the deaths of Elizabeth and Benjamin are recorded. Elizabeth, wife of Benjamin, died December 21, 1734. Benjamin, son of
    Richard and Mary, died May 30, 1740. On the twenty-second of May 1740 Benjamin Harnden of Wilmington, husbandman, made his will. In the opening he said:

    ?Being Very sick and weak in body but of perfect mind and memory, thanks be given to God therefore, calling unto mind the mortality of my body and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die, do make and ordain this my last will and testament.? Two sons and two daughters are mentioned in this document which was probated in 1740.

    But after years of hard work, painful thrift and self sacrifice all there was to leave was a couple of good cows, a yoke of oxen, ?the cows and oxen I lent to my son Samuel?, and the household goods, the latter, ?to be divided equally between his two daughters.?

    Children:
    1. Harnden, Susanne was born 1712; died 12 Aug 1735, Wilmington, Middlesex, MA, USA.

    • Baptism: 1687, Reading, Middlesex, MA, USA

    Notes:

    This Richard Harnden is often accredited with being the father of the earliest known North American Harnden family lines.

    Richard spent most of his life in Reading, Mass. However, for some years after his marriage, he is believed to have been living in Boston. By 1682 he was certainly back in Reading. According to newspaper articles in Wilmington, Massachusetts. He spent some time in Rhode Island giving greater creedance to the fact that Benjamin Hearnden and John Harndel were close relatives to our lines.

    At one time Richard Harnden owned land from the Ipswich River at Jenkin's Bridge running north along Lubbers brook and what is now Woburn Street to Nod. (Jenkin's bridge is over the Ipswich River at Laurens Carter crossing - Woburn St. - Wilmington).

    Richard took the Freeman's Oath on 18 April 1691.

    This is an interesting source. I don't know where it actually belongs or if it even relates to our family. But, there seems to be a close relationship to the name and dates of our Richard.

    The following is from The Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire:
