In the 1860 census, an Elizabeth Hardin, age 6, b. IN, is found with Erastus/Erasmus Lincoln in Union twp., Adams co., 4 pages from William and Jane Harden. In 1870 census Eli Whitright is found with William and Jane Harden, and as noted below, Elizabeth is in the household just before William's.

IN and found no record of Elizabeth Harden in 1860.  However, I found her in 1870 in Union Twp., Adams Co., IN (Pleasant Mills) living with Erasmus Lincoln age 60 and George Lincoln age 34.  It states that Elizabeth was born in Ohio and William and Jane are living next door with a son, Isaiah, age 15.  We have a record of William and Jane marrying on 14 Nov 1852 in Adams Co., IN. Because Elizabeth was born 1854 and is living next door to William and Jane and eventually marries Eli Whitright who is living with the Hardens I truly thought that she had to be their daughter.  But I found William and Jane in the 1860 census and their oldest child is 4 year old Isaiah.  Surely, they wouldn't have shipped Elizabeth out at the age 5.  And because Elizabeth says she was born in Ohio but her parents married in Adams Co., Indiana I think this gives us another reason to believe that she is not their daughter.  I looked up Elizabeth Harden in 1860 in Ohio and found a lot of them but I have no idea which one would be her.  Could it be that she is a niece of William Harden?  Maybe her parents in Ohio died and various family members took in Elizabeth and any siblings she may have had between 1860 and 1870.  When we find her in Adams Co. in 1870 she is 16 and old enough to be hired out. That could explain why she is living next door to William and Jane.  Just a thought.
