He was born circa 1635 in Benningham, England, the son of Thomas George Harding Sr. and Agnes North. He married first to Eleanor Jane Bagwell on February 26, 1663 in London, England (see his wife's memorial for more on this marriage date). They had at least one daughter, Mary, who married Henry Ballinger, as cited in Thomas' will of 1708. Thomas signed "The Concessions and Agreements of West Jersey in America" on March 3, 1677, which was written and signed before departing from England. Thomas and his family immigrated to America on the ship "The Kent", arriving in Newcastle in the Colony of West Jersey on August 16, 1677. Between 1680 and 1700, Thomas was listed in various land records having purchased and sold various parcels of land. After the death of Eleanor in 1692, Thomas married a second time on May 3, 1693 to Elizabeth Nichols in Burlington County, New Jersey. It is believed that Hope and Rebecca Harding, mentioned in Thomas' will as his daughters, were the children of Thomas and his second wife, Elizabeth. Elizabeth died on March 16, 1707 in Burlington County, New Jersey and was not mentioned in Thomas' will signed on February 8, 1708. This will was proved on December 6, 1708 in Burlington County, New Jersey.

This Thomas Harding is not to be confused with another Thomas Harding, who was also born in England, but settled in Virginia and married Anne Moseley.

He may be the son of the Thomas George Harding Sr. (memorial #119591302), who was born in 1603 and died in 1664 in England and is buried in Saint Olave in Greater London, England. If anyone has any proof or documentation of this link, please email the manager of this memorial.

Inscription

A volunteer looked for a grave marker for him in April 2014, but no marker was found. There were some illegible markers, one of which may have been his, or he may not have ever had a marker. Therefore, no inscription is available.
