Individual Details

I believe Henry may very well be a SON of Mark & Mary Hunter Hardin, rather than a son of Henry & Judith as he is shown in some lineages.

Apparently no wife survived him.
Son Edward Jones Hardin, born 1803, said to be a child of the second wife Mary Jones. in DAR databases. Yet some of the databases give a death for the first wife, Sarah Cook Hardin as 1833.
Son Benjamin Cook Hardin was born 16 Nov 1792 and said to be a son of Sarah Cook. Harriet Hargrove Hardin, daughter, was born 11 Jul 1804 - yet she is said to be a daughter of Sarah Effie Cook and she seems to have been born after Edward Jones Hardin. Something definitely amiss.

Henry received a Rev War Pension. He applied in 1832 from Walton Co, GA, #S.31732. He stated his date of birth as 12 April 1761, in Johnston Co, NC. He enlisted 15 Oct 1777 in Surry Co, NC where he then lived, and served as a private, Capt Henry Smith's Company, Col. Brevard's NC Regt. He was discharged 15 Ap-r 1778. He enlisted in June of 1780 and served as an ensign and 2nd Lt in Capt Absalom Bostwick's & David Humphreys' Company, Col. Martin Armstrong's Regt and was in the battle of Camden, servind for three months. In 1780, he served two months in a company of Light Horse under Col. Davis. He moved to Guilford Co NC and in March of 1781, enlisted and served about 4 weeks in Capt Thomas Cook's Company, under Col. James Martin and Col. James Hunter. In the fall of 1781, he served in Capt. Thomas Cook's company, Col. William O'Neal's Regt in pursuit of Col. Fanning, leader of the Tories. It is stated in the documents that he was a Baptist minister. The last pension payment was made 4 Mar 1843 - he had lived in Walton Co for 18 years, previously had lived in Franklin Co, GA.

1840 Census. Walton, GA (Ancestry has the name of the county as "Walker")
Henry Harden, age 89, listed as a Pensioner for Revolutionary Military Service
Living in his household was a male, age 5-10 and Henry, age 60-70; one female age 5-10 and one female age 20-30. [Henry had no son of the same name - they just must have put his age in the wrong column]
