• 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.
