Alice Hardin was born about 1720 in Prince William, Virginia, daughter of Mark Hardin (1681–1735) and Marie Madeleine De la Chaumette (~1673–>1735).

Alice is named in her father's will dated March 16 1734. ^[1]

Her birth date is estimated based on the dates of her parents and her siblings. She is not listed as an infant in the will, but is definitely unmarried as her sister Martha is named by married name.
