The Will of Thomas Harding, Henrico Co., VA 10 Mar 1728/9 / and probated on 5 Apr 1730. Wife Mary; son William Harding; son Thomas land in Goochland Co; dau Mary. Wit. Nicholas Cox, John Bowie.
It is known that this Thomas Harding had a brother named "William."
"The earliest ancestor of the Tuckahoe Creek Hardings, known with certainty, is Thomas Harding (I), first mentioned in Henrico Co., VA records of the early 1700s. It is assumed he was an adult over 21, at this time. Proof of his father's identity has not yet been found, but it seem plausible he could have been the William Harding mentioned in Henrico and Charles City Co. records of 1677-1700. The records of this William Harding also involve several families, Smith, Harris, and Watkins, whose lives are intertwined with the Tuckahoe Hardings over the next two centuries. This along with the fact that Thomas Harding's brother William (I) sold land in eastern Henrico Co., not far from Charles City Co., leads one to believe that they are sons of William Harding of Charles City Co., VA. The claim that Thomas was the son of Thomas Harding, headright of Capt. Moore Fauntleroy, May 1660 (Wulfeck Supp., p. 4), has evidence to support it."
