About the Project

The Haradon Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Haradon name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Haradon name.

As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Haradon's), by time period (18th Century Haradon's), or by topic (Haradon DNA, Haradon Occupations, Haradon Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project.

Research Pages

• There were two know regions in hosting Haradon/Haraden Families in the Massachusetts Bay Colony: Cape Ann, Gloucester and In Southern New England (Bristol, Plymouth and Middlesex Counties)
• These familes are not present in Mayflower, Winthrop, Great Migration, or the Early New England Studies programs.
• The southern Massachusetts Haradon's appaerently were founded in 1700 with marriage of John and Mildred (Page) Haradon in Watertown.
• A general observation is that people named Haraden are found on Cape Ann, people named Haradon are found in southern New England.
• Because of the number of vowels in the surname their are a myriad of spelling variations, plus sometimes names with a double /r/ are present in records and scholarly texts.
• Norton, Bristol, Massachusetts Bay Colony is the hub for southern New England Haradon families. See John Haradon
