Generation: 3

  1. 4.  HARDING was born about 1600; died in ? in prob England.

    Notes:

    This is the profile for the Joseph Harding whom Wilbur J. Harding claimed in his 1925 Hardings in America was the son of a John Harding who died in Northampton, England in 1637 and emigrated to New England in 1623. As discussed in Hardings in America Debunked, many of the claims made by Wilbur J. Harding in the book regarding early Harding immigrants have proven to have been fabrications.

    Notes:

    While Martha (Doane) Harding who died in Plymouth in 1638 obviously was married to a man named Harding, no evidence has been found that establishes his name or otherwise identifies him. In the profile for Martha (Doane) Harding of Plymouth in Robert Charles Anderson's 1995 Volume II of Great Migration Begins, (1) the first name of Martha's husband was left blank, indicating that Anderson and his team found no reliable evidence as to what his name was, and (2) Anderson stated that Martha's husband probably died before Martha sailed for New England.
