I have copies now of two documents that confirm that James Harder who married Mary Ann Crawford is the son of James Harder (Primitive Baptist Elder) and Elizabeth Pitt.
Old Rice family notes state that Zilphy Harder Mackey Rice had five siblings: Henrietta Harder who married Josiah Lindsey, Mary "Polly" Harder who married Jeremiah Job, Elizabeth Harder who married David Evans, John Harder, and "Jim" Harder. The parents of these six, according to these notes, were James Harder and Elizabeth Pitt.
An 1862 letter (which I have a copy of) written by the brother, James, to his sister Elizabeth Harder Evans, indicates that he is James Harder who is married to Mary A. Harder, that they live in Sevier County, Arkansas and that they had two sons serving in the Civil War.
