Mark Hardin was the son of Martin Hardin, one of three Hugenot brothers who fled France during the religious wars which raged there for some two hundred years. Mark married Mary Hogue, lived in Prince William Co., VA and died there about 1734. His will was probated there in 1734.
The three immigrants, moving from Canada and headed for the Carolinas stopped in Virginia. One was killed by Indians in Virginia shortly thereafter; the second pushed on toward Carolina and all trace of him was lost. He was probably killed by Indians. Martin remained in Virginia and sired the Hardin line of Virginia, Pennsylvania and Kentucky.
