Individual Details

Susannah Hardin

(Aft 1757 - )



Married name was Walker in the will of her father John in 1789.. He was likely John Walker.

The Index to the Breckinridge Deeds shows Jno Walker Sr to Jno Walker Jn. for 249 acres, Deed Book A p. 116 and same to Wm Walker, for 351 acres, p.118. Unfortunately the reference is incorrect. Deed Book A was recopied in the 1880's but pages maintained and these deeds simply aren't there. p.116 is a deed of Philip Tabor & Eleanor his wife to Justus Tabor - p.118 is a deed of William Hardin Sr to his son-in-law, William Crawford. I have been through the whole book and did not find these deeds, nor do they appear in Deed Book B.

An online message board mentions a marriage bond for John Walker & Susannah Hardin, but gave no details.

An online family tree has Susannah's husband as John Appleton (1740-10 May 1833) and the couple had two children: James A. Appleton, b. 1780 and John Thomas, b. 1787. This simply doesn't work with John Hardin's will.

I have an AncestryDNA match reportedly through Susannah and her husband John Walker - a son John Hardin Walker indicated, born 1775, when his mother would have been in her late teens. He is said to have been born in NC although his mother died in Shenandoah, VA. I doubt very much the accuracy of this information. Another database suggests John Hardin Walker was born in Maryland. I find nothing to place Susannah & husband John Walker anywhere - nor any other supposed children from the couple.

Still another AncestryDNA match is through Susannah and a husband Jonas Morgan - they supposedly married 28 Apr 1774, Shenandoah, VA. It's doubtful this Hardin family was even living there in 1774.
A message on GenForum states that the marriage bond of Susannah indicates her father was JAMES Hardin of Prince William Co. She applied for Jonas' Rev War pension in 1837, claiming to be 102 [she was more like 82]. They lived in Warren Co VA. This would be a very different family.

Another AncestryDNA match is through Susannah and a husband, Davis Edward Holder. born 1710, died 1785 in Pittsylvania Co VA - she died in Bertie Co, NC It's likely that at least some of these matches are through the Hardin family - but not necessarily. It's also evident that any stray Susannah "Hardin" is assumed as a child of Major John. Thru Lines on Ancestry has assumed three very different Susannahs as being daughters of Maj. John (different from those that match me) and related to my uncle - all with very small cMs that could just be that human DNA we all share.
