Stafford Virginia to Loudoun to Bath Kentucky to Illinois

The Hardin chain through Brant's great-grandmother Bertha Rae Hardin. Joseph Hardin (1751 to 1806 Loudoun Virginia) is a DAR Patriot. Y-DNA testing places his patriline genetically with the Combs family of Aquia Creek Stafford Virginia: William Harding (1720 to 1798 Stafford) was the natural son of Joseph Combs Sr. (1670 to 1756) by an unknown Harding woman, so the Hardin surname descended via the mother but the Y chromosome is Combs. The chain also carries the Sprouse and Ewing families on the maternal side of Bertha Rae Hardin.
