Individual Details

Nestor was on a tax list in Springhill Twp, Fayette Co PA in 1786.

Nestor and Kate were first cousins as were her parents.

Nestor settled in Randolph Co, VA, which in 1863 became part of West Virginia. His father owned lands there as well, but probably never moved from Fayette Co PA. Both residences were once part of Monongalia Co, VA whose territory was disputed by Virginia and Pennsylvania. Fayette Co PA was formed from the northeast corner of Monongalia while Randolph was formed out of a southern part.

Both Nestor and John Hardin were listed on a list of landowners in Randolph Co in 1802.

Catherine Hardin: 1m 15-20; 1f 20-30, 1f 60-70
A "Nistor" Hardin is listed separately on the same page as a single male, age 50-60. Nestor should have been some older, unless his birth date has been wrongly estimated, and he should have been with Catherine if he was still living. Perhaps this is a son.
