Thomas Harding

Notes:

He was born circa 1635 in Benningham, England, the son of Thomas George Harding Sr. and Agnes North. He married first to Eleanor Jane Bagwell on February 26, 1661 in London, England. They had at least one daughter, Mary, who married Henry Ballinger, as cited in Thomas' will of 1708. Thomas signed "The Concessions and Agreements of West Jersey in America" on March 3, 1677, which was written and signed before departing from England. Thomas and his family immigrated to America on the ship "The Kent", arriving in Newcastle in the Colony of West Jersey on August 16, 1677. Between 1680 and 1700, Thomas was listed in various land records having purchased and sold various parcels of land. After the death of Eleanor in 1692, Thomas married a second time on May 3, 1693 to Elizabeth Nichols in Burlington County, New Jersey. It is believed that Hope and Rebecca Harding, mentioned in Thomas' will as his daughters, were the children of Thomas and his second wife, Elizabeth. Elizabeth died on March 16, 1707 in Burlington County, New Jersey and was not mentioned in Thomas' will signed on February 8, 1708. This will was proved on December 6, 1708 in Burlington County, New Jersey.
