" His mother before marriage was Miss Rachel Story, a lady of rare mental powers, who was widely known for her practical good sense and many Christian virtues. She was the daughter of Nehemiah Story, a near relative of the celebrated jurist, Joseph Story, of the United States supreme court. Nehemiah Story was a man of learning and high standing, socially and politically. His grandchildren scattered over many western states, embrace a score of lawyers, including the subject of this sketch."

Notes for Chauncey C. (Hardy) Harding:
1. From "The Hardings in America", Harding, Wilbur J., (1907)....

"Chauncey C. Harding was born at Clifford, Pa., January 14, 1790; (son of Amos and Phoebe Tripp Harding); died Huron county, OH, December 8, 1880. Married Feb. 22, 1830, Rachel Story (born in Oxford County, Maine, Jan. 22, 1809; died at Iberia, OH, March 10, 1869).
Chauncey Harding came to Ohio with his parents in 1820; soon after his marriage he settled in Marion County, OH, where he had the respect and confidence of a large circle of acquaintances. He was a farmer, a Free-will Baptist, and was noted for his liberality in religious matters, being at home in almost any sect of worshippers. Politically, he was a Whig (casting his first presidential vote for Henry Clay in 1832), until 1856, when he became a republican, and his last vote was for Garfield in 1880. His wife was a daughter of Nathaniel Nehemiaah Story, a granddaughter of Joseph Story and Nathaniel Kittredge, and a great granddaughter of Benjamin Dows and William Low, all soldiers in the war of the Revolution."

(Note: The biographical sketch, above, erroneously states that Chauncey Harding was born in 1790. Actually, his birth year was 1809 as substantiated by family Bible records and census records.)
