Benjamin "Stiller Ben" Hardin

(13 Apr 1776 - Abt 1820)



Benjamin married Elizabeth Clark, said to be a relative of George Rogers Clark - unproved and probably not true.

Will Dated 18 Dec 1819, was probated 11 Sep 1820.

I found a list of children for this couple in a Genforum message board post - they are all exact dates which suggests a Bible Record. However the same post placed Benjamin "Stiller Ben" as the son of Benjamin, grandson of Maj. John Hardin - unfortunately in the wrong place. The Ben Hardin, son of Benjamin, was not born until 1784 as was the Ben Hardin who served in Congress and did not die until 1852. Stiller Ben was a son of Mark and Ann Hartley.

Most of the information on Stiller Ben's family has come from a WorldConnect file that has not been updated since 2008 but contains a great deal of information on his family since the daughter Nancy married William Hayden from the Maryland Haydens.
