Do you have the two volumes of "Shottermill, its farms, families and mills"? Part 2 covers 1730 to the early 20th century. My Hardings are mentioned in some detail, but there are a couple of errors. There were at least two branches - the carpenters and the papermakers.
My grandparents' house in Guildford was named Linchmere and their ashes are scattered in the graveyard, close to William and Elizabeth Stilwell, whose graves still stand.
