  Suffix	(Hardwige? or Harding?)
  Birth	Abt 1632	England   [1]
  Gender	Female
  Anecdote	1652  [1]
  	Thomas Teackle Upshur II wrote that Phillip Risden, Gent. of London, came to Virginia about 1652, and that with him came Mary Hardwige who it was suspected became Mrs. Risden. In this connection it should be noted that Arthur Upshur I received headrights in 1655 on Mary Risden and her two daughters (Cavaliers and Pioneers, p. 330). This Mary Risden was unquestionably Phillip Risden's widow who married Arthur Upshur I soon after Risden's death. (NOTE: There is no doubt that Upshur married the widow Mary Risden, however, since Hugh Yeo and Arthur Upshur both claimed Mary, Jane and Blandina 'Landina' Risden as headrights in 1655, it is more likely that Phillip Risden left his wife Mary and their two daughters behind in England when he came to Virginia 2 years earlier. He and others and a Mary Hardwige (N'hamp records) or Mary Harding (State Patent Books) were headrights for Anthony Hoskins in 1653. It seems unlikely that after arrival in Virginia Phillip Risden married Mary Hardwige/Harding and then had the two daughters who were then claimed as headrights in 1655, since being headrights implied they were all 3 brought into Virginia, not already in Virginia.)
