He married Ellen Doyle from East Mabou. They had 7 children, Four of the seven came to Boston. John Harding ( my Grandfather) his brother James, his sister Mary Ellen (married name is Shaughnessy) and Clara. They all died in the Boston area. Peggy in Chandler AZ, previously from Boston Ma.

Peggy, I can give you some general information about the Harding family. Murphy is a great Wexford name, but it may be that your Harding family was not really from there, just that he married there and perhaps sailed from there. While you are searching in Wexford, you also need to know that there were some Hardings in the area of Clonmel, Co. Tipperary and those records would be in Waterford & Lismore diocese. There was also a small branch in Cork, seemingly Cork City. The bulk of them, however, were in Co. Limerick around Oola for the most part, in Tipp near Oola, and around Nenagh/Silvermines in the north of Tipp. They start with a family from London who were white bread bakers and who invested as Adventurers during the Cromwellian War. After the war at least 2 brothers and a sister and there children left London and came to Ireland, to Oola, c. 1655. My 2nd Gr-Grandmother was a Harding. I looked through the records I have from Tipperary and can't find your Richard, but I do not have all the Limerick records, nor the Waterford or Cork records, and, for the most part, the Tipp records start too late to perhaps pick up your Richard. Please contact me directly and we will see what else we might be able to determine from what you know.
