Tuesday, October 6, 1908 The Renowned Hardin Family - The most prominent branch of it, settled in Washington Co. in 1786. After the massacre of St. Bar- tholomew, three brothers named Hardin, being Huguenots, emigrated from France to Canada, and because of the climate, then came to the British colony of Virginia, where two settled, one going on the South Carolina. Martin Hardin, a descendant of one of the former, removed about 1765 from Fauquier Co., Va. to George's Creek on the Monon- gahela River. His seven children, four daughters and 3 sons, born in Va. between 1741 and 1760, all removed to Ky. in 1786-87, and all but the youngest daughter, Rosanna, (Mrs John McMahan) settled within a circuit of ten miles near where Springfield now is and stretch- ing toward Lebanon, upon their own land which they and their descen- dants continued to occupy for more than 60 years. Martin Hardin, the youngest son, died about 1849 in his 92nd year. He was the last sur- vivor of that family of brothers and sisters. One of the emigrants, then a boy of four years, the honored and beloved, the venerable Mark Hardin of Shelbyville, died about 1776. Col. John Hardin, the second of the above sons, and father of Mark, just named was killed by the Indians in 1792, in northwestern Ohio, when proceeding to their towns with a flag and terms of a treaty of peace from General Washington, then President of the United States. His oldest son, Gen. Martin D. Hardin, was probably the ablest and most distinguished of the name. His daughter, Sallie, wife of Rev. Barnabas McHenry, was the ancestor of a distinguished family. His sister, Lydia Hardin, wife of Chas. A. Wickliffe, was the mother of Robert Wickliffe of Lexington, Chas. A. Wickliffe of Bardstown, Maxwell and Nathaniel Wickliffe and five daughters who raised families of useful and influential citizens. Sarah Hardin married her cousin, Ben Hardin, and was the mother of the great lawyer, Ben Hardin; Warren Hardin, Mrs. Rosanna McElroy, and three other dau- ghters, who married and raised useful families. Besides these, the other children of Mark Hardin, Sr., had large families of children, most of whom have a useful part in the settle- ment and growth of middle Ky. Other branches of the family settled in other counties and they and their descendants made their mark in the communities where they lived. John Hardin was born In Fauquier Co., Va. on Oct. 1, 1753. He was commander at the Indian fight at the Saline Lick. He was the Col. Hardin who fought gallantly under Morgan at the capture of Burgoyne, and who fell a sacrifice to Indian perfidy in the northwest in 1782. He belonged to the M. E. Church, was the father of Gen. M. D. Hardin. Gen. Martin D. Hardin was about 6 years old when his father, Col. John Hardin emigrated in April 1786, with his family from the Monon- gahela Co. to a point on Pleasant Run, a branch of the Beech Fork, about 3 miles east of where Springfield now is. In 1812 he was a Major in the rifle regiment of Col. John Allen in the campaign on the northern border during the war with Great Britain. He was Secretary of State of Ky. under Gov. Isaac Shelby 1812-16, and was appointed by Gov. Gabriel Slaughter to fill vacancy in the U. S. Senate, serving one session, 1816-17. He died at Frankfort on Oct. 8, 1823 at the age of 43 years. John J. Hardin, son of Martin D. Hardin and grandson of Col. John Hardin was born at Frankfort on Jan. 19, 1810, was educated at Transylvania University; removed to Jacksonville, Ill. in 1830 and there began practicing law. He at once became active in politics and in 1834 was a candidate for Prosecuting Attorney, an officer at that time chosen by the Legislature. Stephen A. Douglas, then a recent arrival from Vermont, defeated him. He was elected to Congress from the Sanganion district in 1843 and served until 1845. For some time he was a General in the State Militia. In the Mexican War, he was colonel of the First Illinois Regiment and was killed at the battle of Buena Vistal on Feb. 23, 1847. Gen. Hardin was a man of brilliant personality. He was an able lawyer and at the time of his death had risen to the leadership of the Whig Party in his state. It was through his intercession that the unpleasant between Lincoln and Shield in 1842 was amicably settled and a duel prevented. Sarah Hardin, daughter of Col. John Hardin, married her cousin, Ben Hardin, and was the mother of Warren Hardin and lawyer, Ben Hardin. Ben Hardin was born in 1874 in Westmoreland Co., Pa. His parents moved to Springfield, Washington Co., Ky in 1787. John Randolph gave him the name of the kitchen knife, rough and homely but keen and tren- chant. One of the earliest settlers in the county of Breckinridge was Capt. Wm Hardin. Hardin's Station or Hardinsburg was founded by Wm. Hardin in 1792, who on account of his almost giant size and weight, was a terror to the Indians, far and near being known as "Big Bill." He stood 6 feet 4 inches in his moccasins, weighed 240 pounds without a single ounce of surplus flesh, very dark, large roman nose, large mouth with unusually thin, firm lips, and exceedingly small hands and feet for a man of his size. He was a brave soldier during the Revolution and still more daring on the warpath after the Indians. One morning early at his door preparing for a hunt, he fired off his gun and began to wipe it out; just then an Indian stepped from behind the chimney, aimed his gun, and with an exulting taunt exclaimed, "Hooh, Big Bill" - a fatal pause, for Hardin with his own knocked off the Indian's gun and clubbed his brains instantly. In March 1794, a party of Indians made an incursion into Hardin Co. and stole number of horses. They were pursued, overtaken and dispersed and the horses recovered. Capt. Wm. Hardin was wounded in this skirmish.

Priscilla, Thank you so much for offering. You are incredibly generous! Would you please look for any Baileys. Thank you! Jen

Nice of you to offer. I am researching the Tobin and Hardin families so am interested in anything under those names. I do believe Hardin County was named after a distant relative.

Please help us spread the word about this. Mike St. Clair says it all, below. (Note that action needs to be taken by 9 Sep 06 or this will take effect.) Thanks, Sherri ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike St. Clair/TT Sent: 04 September, 2006 8:55 am Subject: Petition on reduction in hours for National Archives In late July, the National Archives announced they were planning to cut back the hours of the Washington DC area facilities of the archives. This would eliminate all evening and Saturday hours and greatly harm the ability of the average genealogist to access the records. For full details, see http://www.archives.gov/press/press-releases/2006/nr06-125.html While the Archivist of the United States was at the FGS conference he reported that they had received very little feedback from the country's genealogists asking for reconsideration. He was also presented with a request from the chair of the FGS Records Preservation Committee to consider some alternatives and a petition was started to allow genealogists to express their disagreement with the changes and to endorse alternatives that will allow the evening and Saturday hours to continue. You can see more details about that in Dick Eastman's weekly newsletter at: http://blog.eogn.com/eastmans_online_genealogy/2006/09/quick_please_jo.html The petition can be signed at: http://www.petitiononline.com/FGS2006 I would encourage each of you, as board members of The USGenWeb Project to use your influence to publicize this information throughout the project. Note that the deadline for receiving comments on the proposed changes by the archives is September 9, so there isn't much time. And I suspect that if they succeed in reducing the Washington hours, the regional archives will be soon to follow. I appreciate all that each of you do in support of the project membership and all genealogists with US ancestry. I believe that a little effort in support of this effort by FGS will pay off long term in enhancing our ability to deliver free information to our clients - genealogists everywhere.
