In Mansberger's list of persons present at Apple Rvier Fort, we find the name "Isam Hardin."

In Thayer's ...Wisconsin Heights... we read about an Isam Hardin from Captain Benjamin Clark's Company, wounded in the thigh when following the British Band's trail in the Four Lakes region circa July 21, 1832.

Is it possible that this is one and the same person?

"Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say, 'What should be the reward of such sacrifices?' ... If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom...crouch down and lick the hands, which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!" --Samuel Adams

I don't know who Isham (Isam) Hardin was. I have a man by that name was a Private in Abner Field's Company in the 1827 Winnebago War.

A man by that name married Druezilla Van Sickle on July 5, 1835 in Jo Daviess County.

A far stretch -- children by the name of Hardin all born in Missouri are living with the famous Elizabeth Armstrong of Apple River Fort in 1850 in Hanover. They are David, age 11, Sarah age 9, and William H. age 7.
