Eastham, MA on Cape Cod began as primarily a farming community. Years
of strong winds over the lands cleared for farming took their toll. In the
early 1700s, with the topsoil gone, Eastham turned to the sea for fishing,
salt making and ship building.
While exact information is not available, our ancestors followed this trend.
Thomas Rogers was probably a farmer. Amaziah Harding was a husbandman, which
means he raised cattle for meat and dairy purposes.
Nathan Harding, Amaziah Harding's son, may have worked for Chatham in
shipbuilding and Ebenezer Harding probably worked as a shipbuilder as well.
Jonathan Goff definitely worked in shipbuilding. In the book Bacon and Allied
Families, page 343, Henry K. Goff sent the following story on Feb 1, 1932:
"The last year of the War Jonathan went with a Company to Georgia and spent
the Summer getting out ships timbers. He was then 16." It is logical that
if someone in the Revolution needed people to work on ships, they would seek
out the craftsmen around what would become East Hampton because that was the
main industry there. Large numbers of Goffs who lived in the area were
involved in shipbuilding.
According to the research librarian at the East Hampton, CT public library,
Sue, a large part of Eastham, MA used to work for a British shipbuilding
company called Chatham, which originated in Chatham, Kent, England a city
known for shipbuilding in England. Around 1739 the shipbuilding company
decided to move its American operations to Middletown, CT, in the area east of
the Connecticut River that is now East Hampton, CT. Such a large population
from Eastham moved at one time (including Nathan Harding and his family), that
many vital records for events that happened in Eastham were taken from Eastham
and stored in Middletown, Connecticut. The result is the documentation for
this time period is confusing. For example, the record of Nathan Harding and
Anne Browns marriage intentions, which occurred in Eastham, MA, is recorded
in the Middletown, CT vital records. The same is true for Ebenezer Harding's
birth. In 1767 Chatham, which was the part of Middletown that was across the
Connecticut River, split off and became a separate town and some records moved
to East Hampton. So records of our ancestors before 1767 say Middletown and
afterward they say Chatham although our ancestors did not move. Later Chatham
was renamed East Hampton in honor of Eastham, the original town of many of the
towns first residents. Within East Hampton city limits, along the Connecticut
River, are the towns Middle Haddam and Haddam Neck. These are also places our
ancestors lived and church records show these names although they are within
the city limits of East Hampton (which was Chatham and before that
Middletown).
Nathan Harding and his wife Anna, were admitted to full communion in the
Congregational Church in Middle Haddam society March 28, 1742. This church was
organized in 1740 by residents of Middletown and Haddam Neck, in the town of
Haddam. In 1655 a number of the church members were dismissed to form a new
church in the growing village of Middle Haddam, leaving the members of the old
church largely residents of Haddam Neck.
Later, when a new church building for the old organization was erected, it was
placed south of the Middletown Haddam line and is now known as the Haddam Neck
church.
The records of the Congregational Church, in the village of East Hampton, show
the death of Abigail, wife of Nathan Harding, on September 28, 1785, age 69;
and the death of Nathan Harding, March 27, 1801, age 83.
The Middletown, Connecticut, Land records, volume 9, page 160, show the sale of
the following pieces of land:
On March 29, 1741, Samuel Pelton, of Middletown, Conn., sold to Stephen
Griffith and Nathan Harding, both of Eastham, Barnstable County, Massachusetts:
To Griffith 2/3 and Harding 1/3 of two pieces of land in the Great Lots on the
East side of the Connecticut River, in said Middletown.
First pieces contained 23 acres 3 ?, bounded North on Land of the Heirs of Mr.
Lynden, East on land of the wife of Francis Smith, South on land originally
Samuel Cornwell's, west on land of Thomas Holman.
Second piece contained 40 acres bounded North on said Lyndens Heirs, East on
land of Jonathan Bailey, South on highway and West on Land of Lieut. John
Bacon, with a house on each piece.
In 1767, all the territory in the town of Middletown, east of the Connecticut
River, was separated to make a new town named Chatham.
The Land Records of the town of Chatham show a number of conveyances to and
from members of the Harding family.
February 7, 1785, Nathan Harding, of the town of Chatham, conveyed to his son
Benjamin, of the same town, a house, barn and 20 acres of the Grantor's
homelot, reserving the life {?} thereof.
Later he made other conveyances to other sons. This, perhaps, is the reason
that there is nothing on the Probate records to show that disposition was made
of any estate that he may have owned at his death.
