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.

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.

Notes:

There is this footnote to Gideon in Drapers to America

"In reference to the descendants of Gideon Draper, the author desires to say, that they have become so widely scattered, and the majority are so indifferent to genealogical matters, that it has been with the utmost difficulty that any connecting lines could be established. The use so generally, in this branch, of the name of Gideon, has also tended to greatly confuse and delay the work, and it may be said that at least three times as much labor has been done to collect the following date as that devoted to any other branch of the family, and if there are errors, the reader will please blame those whose duty it was to supply the information, and who neglected to do so, although repeatedly urged."
