Colonel Joseph Hardin, Sr. (April 18, 1734 – July 4, 1801) Hardin was an Assemblyman (Provincial Congressman) for the North Carolina Colony. During the War for Independence, as a member of the militia from Tryon County, Hardin fought the Cherokee allies of Britain along the western frontier and was a signatory of the Tryon Resolves. Later in the war, having taken his family over the Appalachian Mountains to the Washington District〔County Formation Ani-Maps〕 for safety against the advance of the Red Coats out of South Carolina, Hardin joined the Overmountain Men. He saw action at the Battle of Ramsour's Mill and the decisive Battle of Kings Mountain. Following the peace with Britain, Hardin was a co-founder and second Speaker of the House for the State of Franklin; and an Assemblyman in the Southwest Territory before its statehood as Tennessee. ==Early and family life== Joseph Hardin was born the spring of 1734 in Henrico Co., Virginia Colony in an area several years later to be encompassed by the fledgling town of Richmond at the Falls (now Richmond), Virginia Colony.〔Virginia County Formation Ani-Maps〕〔“Evolution of the Virginia Colony, a 1610-1630 Timeline”〕 Hardin was the second son, and fourth child, of Benjamin Hardin II and Margaret Hooper.〔; pp. 1-5〕 He was older brother to Captain John Hardin (1736–1802) (noted as the hero who turned the tide of battle for the patriots at the Battle of Ramsour's Mill〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.revolutionarywar101.com/battles/800620-ramsours-mill/ )〕 during the ”Southern Campaign” of the Revolutionary War)〔Lincoln County History〕 and Sarah Hardin, wife to Lt.
