The Hardings were ancestors of Ada Jane Harding, Mayles Nelson and Mary Harding (shown in
pictures), mother of Emma Todd (Marsha Stewart\u2019s grandmother), Lucinda Todd and Mary Lett
Harper, also the Charles and Myrtle Kettora Lett families. Richard Harding was the first generation
of Hardings who came to America. He settled in Braintree, Massachusetts. In 1623 Richard\u2019s
daughter married a descendent of Francis Cook, who came over on the Mayflower.

The second generation was Stephen I and Abraham I. The third generation was Richard II and
Stephen II. The fourth generation was Abraham II. The fifth generation was Abraham III. The sixth
generation was Amos III. He is listed as a West Indian and was born in Otisville, New York. His
father was John Harding, and his mother Rhoda King. Amos married Hulda Harding and founded
the Village of Clifford.

The seventh generation was George Tryon Harding I (1791-1860). His father was Amos III. His
first wife was Anna Roberts, and his second wife\u2019s name was Elizabeth. The eighth generation
was Charles A. Harding born in 1820 in Morrow County, Ohio. His wife was Mary Ann Crawford.
The ninth generation was Dr. George Tryon Harding II. He was born in 1844 and Warren\u2019s father.
Warren had seven (7) brothers and sisters: Charity (Chat), Mary Clarissa (named after her
grandmother\u2014like my Great Grandmother Mary Thompson-Harding), Eleanor Persilla, Charles
Alexsander, Abigail Victoria (Daisy), Georye Tyron \u201cDeac\u201d and Phoebe Caroline (Carolyn)--teacher
in a Colored School in Washington DC.

were: Solomon and Mary, also listed were Charles, Lucinda and Hess Lett. Solomon was born in 1840 and spent his early life in Maryland. He later moved to Hocking County, Ohio. Sometime in the early 1870\u2019s, he moved to Montcalm County, Michigan. He married Elizabeth Jessie Smith in Stanton, Michigan. They had one daughter, Ada Jane. They resided in the area until their death and both are buried at the McBride\u2019s Cemetery, McBride, Michigan. (Old Settlers Reunion

For years thereafter journalists and even some historians asserted that the papers were burned.
Adams so wrote in 1939 and followed in the same paragraph by relating that government agents in
1922 destroyed a biography of Warren by William Estabrook Chancellor (the author of the 1920
pamphlet on Negro blood), as if the Harding Papers and the Chancellor biography were of the
same importance, doubtless realizing that his account gave the impression that everything
pertaining to Warren should be destroyed.

Harding represented the \u201cAll-American Image.\u201d To find out that his father George Tyron Harding
had thick lips, rolling eyes, and chocolate skin, Harding made the fall from \u201cAll-American Image\u201d to
immoral. Chancellor made a direct connection between sexual immorality and race. Since
Harding was black, he was sexually promiscuous that accounted for the many affairs he had while
in the White House.

On page 153...Chancellor had written in his 1922 biography that Harding and Carrie Phillips had met on occasion at Upper Sandusky, twenty miles north of Marion. Nan Britton mentioned Carrie Phillips in--The President's Daughter "a certain Mrs. Arnold." She repeated Chancellor's assertion that Republican leaders in 1920 gave "Mrs. Arnold" money to go to Japan.

When letters from Harding to Carrie Phillips emerged in 1963 Warren's heirs entered into a 7-year legal battle, which resulted in the letters being donated to the Library of Congress and sealed until 2014. For nearly half a century, the 29th president of the United States had consistently finished last in polls ranking the presidents. After Warren\u2019s untimely death in 1923, a variety of attacks and unsubstantiated claims left the public with a tainted impression of him.

Soon after his death, his reputation began to spiral downward. Rumors circulated of the
president's death by poison, either by his own hand or by that of his wife; allegations of an
illegitimate daughter were made; and question were raised concerning the extent of Warren's
knowledge of the Teapot Dome Scandal and of irregularities in the Veterans' Bureau, as well as his
tolerance of a corrupt attorney general who was an Ohio political fixer.

The Justice Department did its best to suppress the story. One of its special investigators, Gaston
B. Means, tells how he bought up Chancellor\u2019s book on Harding, brought the books to Washington
in a guarded express car and made a bonfire. Means states: \u201cI myself had helped light a bonfire
that burnt up the entire edition of this book--copyright and all--bought at a price.\u201d And the plates for
this book were destroyed also. The bonfire was made in the rear grounds around the palatial
home of Mr. Boyd\u201d (Rogers 11). The references given below support my views.

I believe that Warren didn\u2019t want a legitimate child. Why?--The child might be born with Black skin
or curly hair; therefore, validating Black ethnicity. Blacks were savages who lead an animal-like
existence. The southern plantation was \u201ca school constantly training and controlling pupils who
were in a BLACKWARD state of civilization.\u201d If Warren was poisoned by government officials, it
was done under the auspicious of \u201cproper discipline\u201d by \u201cThe Star Strangled Banner.\u201d

advance it, therefore, as a suspicion only, that the blacks, whether originally a distinct race, or
made distinct by time and circumstances, are inferior to the whites in the endowments both of body
and mind.)

Of all the American presidents who died in office, none had more questions surrounding his sudden
death than the 29th President, Warren Harding. The file is still missing and is one of history's most
famous cases. US National leaders denied the rumors by the Democrats that Warren was Black.
They exclaimed, \u201cIt can\u2019t be true!\u201d To save face, President Woodrow Wilson (28th President)
ordered pamphlets being distributed by the Democratic Party destroyed. The US Secret Service
had their own investigation going on. In the meantime, Warrenrepressed the idea of not being
considered human--classified as an animal--a dog, horse, or other domesticated animal. He
crossed the \u201ccolor line\u201d and became the 29th president of the United States.....(In the meantime,

Warren dissociated himself from his Black self and family. Associative sickness is marked by a separation from or interruption of a person's fundamental aspects of waking consciousness (such as who he was, what his personal history was, etc.). His particular Associative Sickness stemmed from the trauma of being Black.... (Thomas Jefferson...Comparing them by their faculties of

This disorder is characterized by a blocking out of critical personal information, usually of a
traumatic or stressful nature.

The conflicts he faced required him to choose between the presidency of the US and alternatives
that contained what he perceived to be negative consequences--\u201dColored.\u201d He chose the
presidency. He was Black and knew that if this were discovered, he would be impeached or
assassinated. I believe he was murdered. (Thomas Jefferson...The improvement of the Blacks in

We know that in the 1960\u2019s the FBI followed \u201cBlack Nationalist\u201d movements. A memo, FBI
Communiqu\u00e9 Number 157-601, was the product of a \u201ccounter-intelligence program\u201d run by special
Agent Raymond N. Byers of the San Francisco office. The subject was \u201cracial intelligence.\u201d Their
aim was to stop \u201crevolutionary teaching\u201d by Black Nationalist groups. There have been many
political situations reports about \u201cthe CIA\u2019s secret operations, espionage, counterespionage and
covert actions that are of continuous activity (Propaganda in Theory and Practice, 13).
