Trying to find out where my HARDEN family were before they were in Sussex Co, NJ. A cousin told me that her father told her that the THOMAS HARDEN family were dunkers. My GGrandmother wrote that she thought they were of Dutch decent. So were any of the Dutch Brethern? Seems to me if they were Dutch, they should have a berg, brook or borgh on the end of their name. Thomas Harden b. ca 1750, not sure where. Resided in Sussex Co, NJ from 1781 to 1814/15 then removed to Guernsey Co, Ohio where he died in 1824. Thomas married Janett ?, maybe Denman.
