• 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.
