Harding family from Bucksport, Sedgewick, Blue Hill area's (Hardin, Harden)
My husband's great grandfather, John Robertson Harding, son of Foster Harding came west to Lincoln County in Washington State in the mid to late 1800's and homesteaded on Crab Creek. I am looking for information on his father Foster Harding and Mother Ann Robertson Harding. Foster is listed as a steam boat pilot or mariner on the census'. Foster's father was David Harding and mother Rhode Flowers. I know that other than John R. Harding the family stayed in Maine and are sometimes listed as Hardin or Harden.
I would love to find more documentation on John's parents and siblings.

I do have it our entire Harding side is buried in the Macabee Cemetery in Sprague, WA not far from John R.s farm that is still being farmed by his great great grandsons. If you are interested I can send you a story about his trip to the west that was printed in a book called the Big Bend Story.
