THE ANCESTRY AND DESCENDANTS OF ISAAC BARDEN by Ruth Story Devereaux Eddy.
THE PIONEERS OF MASSACHUSETTS, by Pope. "William was a covenant servant of
Thomas Boardman, bound for a 7 yr service. It is thought he arrived in New
England in the year 1638. On Dec 1, 1638, having served Boardman only 7 months
he was transferred to John Barker of Marshfield to serve for the rest of the
period and to learn the trade of a bricklayer. If the termination of the
period of service coincided with the coming of age of William Barden, as was
most often the case, this would make him 21 years of age in the summer of 1645
and place his birth in the year 1624."
In 1643 William was a resident of Marshfield; in March 1660 was in Duxbury, MA.
After marriage went to Middleborough then to Barnstable for about 20 years.
About 1683 returned to Middleborough where William died early in 1693.
HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF MIDDLEBORO, MASS. by Thomas Weston, p.302, states the
Barden family settled in that part of Middleborough now called Barden Hills. It
is the section east of the Four Corners at Middleborough Centre.

Pedigree of Stephen Otis Barden. " In William's will he leaves 100 acres in the
Bridgewater bounds at the Titticut River to his two oldest sons and 100 acres
to Abraham and Joseph at Purchade and Abraham, Joseph and Stephen were to give
Anna, Mary & Sarah 20 shillings when they became 18 yrs of age. All of the
rest of his estate was to belong to his wife. The estate was not settled until
1713, probably when the last child became of age. An inventory was taken by
John Allyn & Ehraim Tincon Sep 14 1693 and they valued his "wearing close" 2
pounds 10 shillings; his arms and ammunition 3 pounds 5 shilling; his household
stuff 4 pounds 10 shillings; bedding 12 pounds; linen & wollen gear 2 pounds;
cart & all maner of under 10 pounds; Indian corn & English corn 15 pounds; the
oxen & the cows & hogs 25 pounds; house, land and meadow 90 pounds; bricks &
dirt 3 pounds. The whole estate was thus valued at about 168 pounds,
rather a goodly sum in those days even for a man with a wife & 13 children to
support."
