Notes from Lorene Scott:
OCCUPATION: Farmer/Businessman
This Harden was killed when his team of mules got scared and ran away. Hardin was knocked against a gate post and killed. The cemetery where Harden, his two wives and two children are buried is five miles from Stanford IN, in Greene Co. (His wives were sisters.)  This is the ancestor of George Allen who we met in 1988. BURCH TREE states there were probably more children They are buried in the Harden Edwards Cemetery, Beech Creek Twp., Greene Co., Ind.

Lorene Scott adds Nancy Harriott who is not on the Burch Tree list.
