Biography

This biography is a rough draft. It was auto-generated by a GEDCOM import and needs to be edited.

Jesse has no proved wife or children. Speculation that he may have been the father of Mary & Daniel Hardin, who were raised by his brother William.

Note:

Proof of the existence of Jesse as a son of Maj. John is scant. The narrative of Jack Hardin which contains much questionable material states that Jesse and his brother William came home to Pennsylvania from service in the Continental Army in 1781.

There is a Virginia Treasury Warrant, #2912, issued to a Jesse Harden on 25 Feb 1780, about the same time the other Hardins were taking out their Warrants for Kentucky lands. Jesse's was smaller than most - only for 250 acres for which he 100 #'s. There is no image available of this warrant in the Kentucky Land Office database, nor is there any evidence the tract was ever surveyed or granted.

Jesse was not mentioned in his father's will in 1788, indicating he probably had died. There is a granddaughter, Polly Hardin, named in Maj. John's will but her mother Margaret's surname is obscure. It is quite likely Polly was a daughter of Jesse. William Hardin, Jesse's brother, apparently raised this Polly, as well as Daniel, thought to possibly be her brother. [Seems to me if there had been a brother of Polly at the time Maj. John wrote his will, he would have mentioned him as well.] Daniel was later involved in lawsuits against the heirs of William Haden, but Polly never seemed to be.
