from Virginia in the early settlement of Kentucky, were substantial slave 
owners and died at an advanced age. David Harding was born in Marion County, as

in February 1871, to Mary E., a daughter of Wayne and America (Dodson)

children: Candacy L. And Benjamin David. After his marriage Mr. Harding
located where he now resides on 300 acres formerly his father's. The farm is
well improved, and in a good state of cultivation, containing considerable
Rolling Fork bottom. He also owns several tracts of timber land. Mr. Harding
in politics is a Democrat, and he and wife are members of the Baptist
Church.
