History
It is believed that William Harding (1745-1818) was born in England and emigrated to New York, but actually he may have been born in New York according to a genealogical source on the internet (www.familysearch.com). He came to Saint John, New Brunswick, in 1783 as a Loyalist. He married Sarah Gillies (1747-1825). Their children were: William Jr.; Elizabeth; Mary H.; George, born in Newburg, New York, in 1779; Thomas, born in Saint John in 1786; and John.
