both Hardin and Harden are English names, not at all Scots.
I was thinking about Mark Hardin, Baron of Calenknowles, who is on the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs and on the Scottish Armiger council (whatever its official name is). He married a girl from my hometown, lived in Atlanta, and now lives somewhere in the Carolina mountains.
I was not sure of the family origins (I NEVER looked it up).
