• Notes

  Signed his name as Barachias Harndine on a deed in Andover, Mass. held by the Abbot Family of Andover. The Medfield Records (home of May) shows his name as Barachias Arnold. This information is from the following: Boston Transcript, Genealogical Department 26 Oct 1910. Barrachius died from small pox. Here's a little side note. Do you see how Barachias said his last name was Arnold in the Medfield Records? It has often been a family legend that the most famous American traitor Benedict Arnold was a member of the Harnden family. I don't know how true it is, but I thought it was a nice little tidbit to share. Even if Benedict Arnold was not a Harnden some of our family did serve with him. Some researchers have his death date as 1703.
