Notes:

Hosea is another one of those who's name gets all mixed up and has several variations. He has been listed as Hosea, Barrachiah and Kiah, just to name a few. I think his name was probably something like Hezekiah. In later years I think he got tired of people messing up his name and settled on Hosea.

NORWICH TOWNSHIP Early Beginnings http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohhuron/townorwich.html

...The first school house was built in the spring of 1819 on the east bank of Slate run. This cabin was quite primitive, built of logs, and covered with elm bark. It measured twelve by sixteen feet in size. It had neither floor, windows or desks. A row of split oak benches served for seating, and the unchinked spaces between the logs served as windows. Miss Aurilla Lindsey taught the first term of school in the summer of 1819. Her pupils were: Phoebe Chapman; Mrs. Martha Cook (the new bride); her two sisters, Eleanor and Betsey Fletcher; Sabin Kellogg; Louisa Ellis; Mansfield and Brazilda Cook; and Hosea and Drazilla Harnden. The school was supported by subscription, and proved so expensive that no attempt was made to build another until 1824.

It should be noted that there are records of a Barichiah, John, Jonathan and Samuel residing in Granville, Charlotte County, VT in 1781 according to the VT Early Census Index. They are all on page 34 of that Census. John may prove to be the father of some of the lines in VT and New Hampshire.

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]

• Rev War, Enlist: 12 Sep 1778, CT

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.

Barachias married Sherman, Sarah 1733, Wilmington, Middlesex, MA, USA. Sarah (daughter of Sherman) was born , Wilmington, Middlesex, MA, USA; died , CT, USA. [Group Sheet]

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.
