Individual Details

Executor of his sister Winny Ann, wife of William Comstock. And also Executor of estate of his father.
Court Order Book 7, p.108. Jul Term 1826. John E. Hardin "is not an inhabitant of this Commonwealth". [Apparently to escape the debts and land suits of his father.]

The reference concerning his death may very well be that of John Hardin, son of John Hardin, as he is said to have died in 1853 in Fayette Co PA.

1800 Tax LIsts. Breckinridge Co, KY
William Hardin Sr, William Hardin, Jr., Henry Hardin, Daniel Hardin
Interesting that John E. Hardin, thought to be one of the older sons was not listed.

Deed dated 13 Nov 1819 between John E. Hardin of Breckinridge Co and Sally Walker of the same, for $1 current money has sold to Sally Walker a tract of land in Breckinridge on the waters of Hardin's Creek and is the same land conveyed this day by Sally Walker to Henry Walker, administrator of John Walker, Dec'd. 247 acres, metes and bounds (no neighbors noted).

1820 Census. Breckinridge Co.
John E. Hardin, 1m 26-45

1830 Census. Hardinsburg, Breckinridge Co KY
John Hardin. 1m 20-30, 1m 50-60 [John]. 1f -5, 1f 20-30
[John appears to have a younger family living with him. He was on the same page with Margaret Huston who was age 50-60 and had two young males, age 20-30. The next page has Amelia Merry and William Davidson's family - two sisters of John's. It is also possible this is a different John Hardin if he had left Kentucky as in 1826 as the Court Order implies.]



The following is a post that appeared in an Ancestry family tree - whether or not it possibly applies to this John Hardin is highly questionable, because of the numbers of John and William Hardins in Kentucky. I can find no further information about any of the Hardins named. Without dates or additional data, I place this here in case it some day proves more useful - but I do not think it is this John Hardin....

THERE WERE FAMILY RECORDS (EVIDENTLY ORIGINALLY IN A BIBLE) THAT BELONGED TO LUCY BRIDGES AND HENRY CLOUD HARDIN. IT LISTS ALL OF LUCY AND HENRY'S CHILDREN, BRIDGES RELATIVES, DANIEL AND MARQUIS HARDIN WHO DIED IN 1815 AND 1816, AND MARGURET MC CULLOUGH. A SON OF LUCY AND HENRY WAS JOHN ROWLAND HARDIN, WHO DIED 19 FEB 1814 AND IS BURIED WITH A MARKED STONE IN LONG RUN CEMETERY IN JEFFERSON CO KY. HENRY EVIDENTLY DIED IN JEFFERSON COUNTY.
IT ALSO STATES THAT HENRY CLOUD HARDIN WAS THE SON OF JOHN AND NANCY HARDIN, AND THAT JOHN WAS THE SON OF "WILL" HARDIN. BUT IT DOES NOT GIVE A LAST NAME FOR NANCY, OR A NAME FOR THE WIFE OF "WILL." THE FATHER ("WILL") OF JOHN HARDIN IS BELIEVED TO BE WILLIAM "INDIAN BILL" HARDIN, FOUNDER OF HARDINSBURG KENTUCKY. JOHN E HARDIN WAS A SON OF WM HARDIN, AND EXECUTOR OF WM'S ESTATE.
THE WIFE OF JOHN HARDIN IS BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN NANCY CLOUD, THE DAUGHTER OF HENRY CLOUD (DIED 1878 VIRGINIA) WHO MARRIED EITHER ELEANOR WILLIAMS AND/OR ELIZABETH HARDIN.
THE FAMILY RECORDS WERE TRANSCRIBED (TYPED) @ 1900-1915. AS OF THIS WRITING, I DO NOT KNOW THE LOCATION FOR THE ORIGINAL BIBLE OF LUCY BRIDGES AND HENRY CLOUD HARDIN. DESCENDANTS OF SUSAN HARDIN DUNHAM INCLUDE THE MARSHALL AND DRESCHER FAMILIES.
THE FAMILY RECORDS ENDED UP IN THE HANDS OF THEIR DAUGHTER SUSAN HARDIN, WHO MARRIED WILLIAM DUNHAM. SUSAN HARDIN DUNHAM AND WILLIAM DUNHAM DIED IN UNIONTOWN, UNION COUNTY, KENTUCKY. ALSO ENDING UP IN UNION COUNTY KY WERE LUCY BRIDGES HARDIN, BROTHER ISHAM BRIDGES, AND SISTER SUSAN BRIDGES BERRY.
