    • Rev War, Enlist: 12 Sep 1778, CT

    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]

    • Fr. Indian War: 1755, Connecticut to Canada

    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]

    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]

    The following about Samuel is from Ken Harnden:

    In 1816 he was constable in the Town of Mentz, Cayuga Co., NY

    In March 1837 was constable of the Town of Mentz, Cayuga Co., NY and served as president in 1839, 1842 and 1843.
    From History of Cayuga County, New York by Elliot G Storke.

    From Geraldine Oakley's book:
    "Charlotte Peacock Mahagan remembers that she was taught that Samuel's father was also named Samuel. He was the son of Samuel Harnden of Johnsburg in present day Warren Co., NY, but which
    was in Washington Co., NY until 1810 when Warren Co., NY was formed.

    He operated the Lock Store on the original Erie Canal in Port Byron at one time, and had a livery business there. The store was operated only while the canal ran through the village of Port Byron, not after the canal bed was moved north of the village. The NY census of 1855 says he had lived in Port Byron for 43 years, so he would have arrived there about 1812. He was usually described as a harness maker and shoe maker, probably taught the trade by his father who was a shoemaker and harness maker, and a trade which Samuel Jr taught to his sons.

    Two account books from his businesses remain. One is from the store
    and the other reflects his business as a shoemaker. These are held in
    1999 by Geraldine Oakley."

    Hosea is another one of those who's name gets all mixed up and has several variations. He has been listed as Hosea, Barrachiah and Kiah, just to name a few. I think his name was probably something like Hezekiah. In later years I think he got tired of people messing up his name and settled on Hosea.

    ...The first school house was built in the spring of 1819 on the east bank of Slate run. This cabin was quite primitive, built of logs, and covered with elm bark. It measured twelve by sixteen feet in size. It had neither floor, windows or desks. A row of split oak benches served for seating, and the unchinked spaces between the logs served as windows. Miss Aurilla Lindsey taught the first term of school in the summer of 1819. Her pupils were: Phoebe Chapman; Mrs. Martha Cook (the new bride); her two sisters, Eleanor and Betsey Fletcher; Sabin Kellogg; Louisa Ellis; Mansfield and Brazilda Cook; and Hosea and Drazilla Harnden. The school was supported by subscription, and proved so expensive that no attempt was made to build another until 1824.

    Notes:

    The following letter was written by Mrs. Stella E. Asling Riis of Drumbo, Ontario, to my grandmother, Florence Haggerty (nee Huff), dated October 4, 1946.

    I was very pleased to receive your letter of September 29th which came this morning. I sent Dr. Will N. Barnhart a sketch of the Morrow family history which he had requested me to do, but unfortunately I did not keep a copy of what I wrote; but I will send you the facts and hope I will cover it fully.

    First then, James Cron (from whom you and myself are descended) came into Canada with Jessup's Corps after the Revolution. He settled in the Township of Augusta, County of Grenville. His name appears in the certified list of the United Empire Loyalists in the Archives Department, Ottawa. He had three children, Mary, John and Isabella. Mary married John Galbraith.

    Mr. Galbraith was born in the Parish of Balfron, Stirlingshire, Scotland. He came to Vermont in 1785 to look after lands which his father had purchased in 1751. He remained in Vermont for some time and travelled about considerably to open up markets for his father's woolen goods, he being a landowner and woollen merchant in Scotland. Then finding that the title to the lands was clouded in 1794 he left Vermont for Canada. On 4th November 1794 the following entry appears in his diary:
    "Eighth Township of Upper Canada (which is shown on our maps to be the Township of Augusta in the County of Grenville); "God has preserved me from the dangers of the journey. He preserved us on Lake Champlain when to all human appearances there was little hope of our reaching land."

    Mr. Galbraith remained in Augusta for several months and became acquainted with James Cron and his daughters. John seems to have fallen in love with Mary at first sight and in a month they were married. They came to Oxford County and settled in Blenheim Township, which is now near Princeton. He located Lot No. II in the first concession of Blenheim. Mary received a grant of lot No. I in the 3rd. Con. of Blenheim as the "daughter of James Cron, a United Empire Loyalist.

    James Cron's younger daughter Isabella, married John Harnden. Mr. Harnden was a widower and had a son Plyn who was about twelve years of age at the time of his father's second marriage. Isabella told her stepson about their home in Scotland, and to Plyn we are indebted for the facts regarding
    the Crons - we who are descended from Isabella Cron; for my grandmother Mary, who was daughter of Isabella Cron and her husband John Harnden, married John Morrow, and he is the ancestor you are wanting to know about. So I will tell you first about the Crons. Their home was Greenfield-Kirkpatrick-Fleming, two miles from Annan in the south of Scotland, not far from Gretna Green, famous for run-away marriages. Isabella Cron like her sister Mary received a grant of two hundred acres, as the daughter of James Cron, in Markham, and that is where Grandma Morrow was born in the year 1813 [probably 1812]. When she was two weeks old her mother, [Isabella] Cron Harnden, was holding her little daughter on her lap when news came that her husband had been drowned while carrying despatches across the Niagara River. She fainted, fell forward into the fireplace [and] was burned to death. So little Mary was left an orphan at two weeks. She had a brother John who was a little older than she. We do not know who kept little Mary for the first two years of her life but there was a young man, Peter Bastedo, who had come from Niagara to work land which had been given him by the Government in the War of 1812 and this
    land was near the Galbraith's home. So Peter made the long journey to Markham and brought back the orphaned baby in his plaid as he rode horseback and delivered her into the hands of her kind Aunt Mary Galbraith.


    So it came about that my grandmother was brought up in the County of Oxford. When little Mary was six Peter Bastedo began paying court to Margaret, John Galbraith's oldest daughter. Peter had won the little maid's heart when he brought her in his plaid on that long trip on horseback. All her life she loved Peter. Now he had come to see Margaret whom they called Peggy. Little Mary couldn't keep the news that Peter had arrived, so she went about the house singing: "I mustn't tell, I mustn't tell that Peter and Peggy are in the Loom-house! (Peggy was there busily spinning). Peggy and Peter were married in 1820.

    Margaret's older brothers, James and John, received fine educations for those days. They were Dominion Land Surveyors and surveyed a good part of the counties of Ontario and Victoria. Their younger brother William was also a surveyor. John later studied medicine and was a doctor in Amador, Michigan.

    When Grandma Morrow was about twenty she went to Hamilton to learn millinery. She was there two years. Then she went to visit her cousins (Peggy's older brothers). She also visited her cousin Mary (Peggy's younger sister[)] who had married Squire John Marcellus Truax and who had six hundred acres of land in the Township of Reach, County of Ontario. While visiting these relatives she met John Morrow, who had come from near Castle Blaney, in the County of Monahan, N. of Ireland. Grandma was golden haired and blue eyed. She was stylishly dressed having just come from Hamilton. John Morrow was very much taken with her and they were married not long after at Squire Truax's. John Morrow was only sixteen when he came to Canada. He brought with him a watch and some books. He worked for a time on the Welland Canad, then took up farming. His brothers followed him not long after. They were Robert, Joseph, Samuel and William. William was a school teacher. They were all well educated.

    Mother gave me a letter written by John Galbraith to his father John Galbraith, wherein he mentions the marriage of my grandmother Mary Harnden and John Morrow. I gave this letter to my sister Madge (Mrs. Fenwick W. Ritchie)[.] She died a few years ago and her daughter Mrs. Fenwick White Keltie of Kilmacolm, Scotland, now has it; but I saved a copy of it which I will now quote:

    Pickering, May 25, 1834.
    To John Galbraith,
    Tp. Of Blenheim,
    District of London,
    Honoured father:

    Having had no word from your place for some time I write to let you know we are all well, and wish you would be sure to write down soon and let us hear how you all are at home.


    Nancy was at Brock about ten days ago. She saw James and William and understood that the Truax family were well. On her way back she was to see Mary Harnden who was married about a month ago to John Morrow, an Irishman of the Township of Reach. She said Mary was apparently contented and said she had been better contented and had better health than she had before. She was married at Mr. Truax's. Her husband lives eight or nine miles this side of Truax's where he has a farm and appears, Nancy says, to be in good circumstances, having a considerable improvement, six or either milk cows, sheep, oxen etc. in proportion. He belongs to the Presbyterian Church. Nancy says that she understood that Squire Truax's eldest daughter was to be married in a few days.

    We have had a very early forward season excepting a cold storm ten or twelve days ago. I believe it has done no damage to anything of any consequence. I had forgoten [sic] to mention that John Harnden, Mary's brother, was married last winter.

    If Peter Bastedo should be coming down to Brock with a team I should be glad if you would send down a piece of chain which Nancy forgot at your place when she was up last fall as I am often in need of it.

    I hope you will not fail to write me soon. Nancy has been expecting you down ever since she was up at your place.

    I remain
    Your affectionate son
    John Galbraith.

    About twelve years later Mr. Morrow sold cattle for which he received $300. Some men who evidently had witnessed the transaction that night broke into his house, attacked Grandpa and Grandma, got the money and fled. Aunt Margaret (afterwards Mrs. Hiram Barnhart) who was eleven years old, bound up her parents' wounds, then taking her young brothers Stewart and William she walked two miles through the woods to the nearest neighbor. She told them what had happened. Immediately the alarm was sent though [sic] the countryside and the members of the gang were arrested by daybreak. Aunt Margaret's testimony in Court was so clear and understandable; she being likewise able to identify the leader of the gang, that the robbers were convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. This broke up the Markham gang which had been terrorizing for a long time that part of the new country. Aunt Margaret had a very wonderful memory. She remembered a sermon a preacher delivered and when she saw him again seven years later she quoted his text and gave him the different "heads" of his sermon. For her fine mind and heart she was beloved everywhere, and Dr. Barnhart told me that when his mother died her funeral procession was two miles long. Immediately after Mr. Morrow was robbed he left the Township of Reach and bought a farm at Ashburn, not far from Whitby. There my mother was born.

    I never heard of Marie Morrow Van Tausk's family tree. My husband and I had a summer home at Honey Harbor, Georgian Bay. My Aunt Mrs. John Morrow and her family also summered there and I frequently met Marie and her husband Major Geoffrey Van Tausk. She never mentioned that family tree to me although we often spoke of the Morrow family and its history. Eugenie Marie de Montijo de Guzman was born 1826 She was wife of Napoleon III. And Empress of France from 1853 to 1870. My mother's sister Sarah was born at the height of Empress Eugenie's popularity, and the baby was named Sarah Eugenie. Then my mother called me after her sister and so I got the name Stella Eugenie. Marie Morrow also was named Eugenie after Aunt Sarah,
    and I think that is all there is to the connection with Napoleon's Empress. Of course you might ask her some time about it, if you get the opportunity.

    After I married Mr. Riis my home was at Richmond Hill, Long Island, New York; but after his death I sold my home, also my summer home and came to Canada.


    I was pleased to hear from you and very glad to give you this account of the Morrow family as far as I know it. I nearly forgot to tell you that the Morrows were of Covenenter stock, and they were thought to have come from Newton Stewart in Scotland. Mother said the name in Scotland had been Murray but in Ireland got changed to Morrow. Mother's oldest brother's name was Newton Stewart. Perhaps you know some of his decendants [sic] as he moved to the West. In fact mother's three brothers went to the West, Uncle Jim (James Renwick) lived in Grenfell and Uncle Alec (Alexander Guthrie Morrow) also lived in Saskatchewan. In 1944 THE GULL LAKE ADVANCE was sent me which decribed the Ohrner-Morrow wedding. "St. John the Baptist
    Church, Gull Lake, was the setting for an attractive and impressive marriage ceremony, on Friday morning, January 14th, when Mary Elizabeth, second daughter of Mr. And Mrs. F.A. Morrow and Sub Lieut. William Ernest Ohrner, R.C.N.V.R., only son of Mr. And Mrs. Ernest Ohrner were united in the bonds of holy matrimony, the officiating clergymen being the Rev. F.A. Cook, resident vicar of the Parish and the Rev. H.A. Morrow, of Strasbourg, brother of the bride. . . " The bride was granddaughter of my Uncle Alec.

    I think I have told you quite a lot and it is different from the account I sent Dr. Barnhart, but the main facts are of course the same.

    Hoping you will have very much success with your family history, and with very kind regards,

    Your affectionate cousin,

    Mrs. Stella E. Asling Riis

    Notes for Laura from Ken Harnden:

    Laura was born a Harnden, and married her first cousin. This was
    always mentioned in conversations about Laura and Samuel by their
    descendants.

    She was called Laurie or Lorie.

    Geraldine Oakley's book:

    "Family history is that Laura packed up her
    worldly goods in a wooden chest and left home in Granville, went south to the Albany area, and took a packet boat on the Erie Canal west to Port Byron. The chest that she used is now held by Geraldine Oakley. Eventually, she married Samuel, and stayed in Port Byron for the remainder of her life. According to census she must have arrived in Port Byron about 1837. She had 3 sons that did not live before her son Jonathan was born. Franklin was born 5 June 1838 and died 6 Oct 1839. An infant was born 9 Mar 1840 and died in Sept of that year. A third infant was born 27 Aug 1841 and died on 18 Sep 1841. These births are reflected in the 1865 census report.

    Laura married Harnden, Samuel Jr. 9 May 1837, Granville, Washington, NY, USA.
