• 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: Capt. Richard(9), Black Point, Scarboro, the Ind. killer, pilot and military leader. Aged 31 in Aug. 1676. Poss. going to Scarb. when his mo. remar, he began in Philip's War the service which contin. until death 6 Oct. 1703, when he and his men from Black Point garri. were cut off by the Ind.

He was contin. as Constable at Scarb. 1680; Gr. j. 1683, 1687-8, 1696; Selectm. 1685, 1686, 1688; Comr. Scarb. 1688. Lists 83, 236, 237ab, 238a, 32, 34, 35, 36, 37, 96.
