Spouse: Julia Ann JOY
Birth: 2 Sep 1826 NY (probably in or near Macedon, Wayne Co.)
Death: 24 Feb 1915 Detroit, Wayne Co., MI
Burial: Plymouth Village Cemetery, Plymouth, Wayne Co., MI
Father: Bennett JOY (1794-1867)
Mother: Sally WOOD (1803-1848)
Marriage: c.1844-1847 Redford?, Wayne Co., MI to Julia JOY (daughter of Bennett
JOY & Sally WOOD)
[Julia's father Bennett Joy lived in Redford as did a John Hardenbergh, Samuel's father so it seems likely that Samuel and Julia met and married in Redford. As their first known child was born about 1848 I am assuming they married sometime before that. Julia would have been 20 years old in 1846 so could have married before that.]
c.1848 Samuel and Julia had their first child - a son named Silas W. Hardenbergh. [listed as 2 years old on the 1850 census]
Construction of a second mill at the site of Nankin Mill began in 1848 by Samuel Hardenbergh and his partner Luther Dean's son, William Day Dean. By the first of August, 1849, William Dean, was living in the home of Samuel Hardenbergh, while working at Nankin Mill.

Luther Dean's Probate Files mentions Samuel a few times: Luther owned ... "one undivided half of the Nankin Mill and east bounded as follows, to wit: beginning at a point on the west line of the west half of the north west quarter of section three in town two south of range nine east situate [ten] chains and fifty links northwardly on said line of or from the quarter section stake in the west side of section three; thence north on said west line nine chains and seventy five links to the center of the highway; thence south east forty nine degrees seven chains and ten links along the center of the highway; thence along the center of the highway one chain and fifty links; thence south west thirty degrees one chain and forty links to the south west corner of John Cohovn's [Chovin's?] sixty by forty feet [lot]; thence south west sixty degrees six chains and twenty two links to the place of beginning, containing about three 90/100 acres, [in section] three, town two, south of range [nine] east appraised eleven hundred and forty dollars" "To William D.

Samuel and Julia had a daughter they named Hattie c.1851.
In 1853 two of Samuel and Julia's children died and were buried in Plymouth
Their 5 year old son Silas W. drowned on July 24, 1853 and was buried at the Plymouth Village Cemetery. This was a time when the family was living at Nankin Mill on the river Rogue. Could that be where Silas drowned?
Also in 1853, 2 year old daughter Hattie L. Hardenbergh died on December 12, 1853
Julia Joy Hardenbergh's sister Lydia was married at the Hardenbergh home in 1854 shortly after William Dean returned from the California gold rush [possibly with Lydia & Julia's father, Bennett Joy] -- Marriage Certificate of William Day Dean & Lydia Joy: "...on the 14 day of September A.D. 1854 at Mr. S. Hardenbergh ...I joined in marriage Mr. W. D. Dean of Nankin in the State of Michigan...and Lidia Joy of Wayne in the State of Michigan.... Dated at Nankin....Rev W. B. G..."
Daughter Agnes L. Hardenbergh was born in 1854
1 year old daughter Agnes L.Hardenbergh died August 4, 1855 and was buried at Plymouth Village Cemetery.
In the 1850's Samuel apparently moved from Nankin Twp. [near Nankin Mill] to the town of Plymouth eventually living at the corner of Holbrook and Hardenberg [near the Plymouth Mill]

1856 Samuel and Julia had a daughter named Inez M. Hardenbergh.
"In 1860, Samuel Hardenberg, who lived in the house at the corner of Holbrook and Hardenberg, later occupied by the Wilcox family... was the proprietor of the mill ['Hardenburgh's Grist Mill' also known as 'Plymouth Mills' and later the 'Wilcox Mill']. He lost the business on a mortgage, and the next owner, John Winemaster, lost it the same way. The next owner, a Mr. Peters, mortgaged the mill to C. H. Bennett, who later acquired it at a sheriff's sale...Bennett...sold it, in 1879 to David Wilcox...." [Northville -- the First 100 Years, by Jack W. Hoffman, 1976, p.60] The Wilcox Mill (present day Hines Drive and Wilcox Road) ....[was the] site of the old Hardenburgh grist mill build around 1850.

(For how long did Samuel Hardenbergh have an interest in Nankin Mill?)
May 24, 1862 Samuel and Julia had a son - Freddie Hardenbergh.
Freddie Hardenbergh died May 13, 1863
just shy of his first birthday. He was buried at Plymouth Village Cemetery.
Inez M. Hardenbergh died October 1, 1863 aged 7 years, 8 months, 18 days, she was buried at
Plymouth Village Cemetery.
Plymouth was incorporated in 1867. "The first village election held in Plymouth..., March 25, 1867. One hundred and twenty-nine votes were cast...Samuel Hardenburgh... [was elected a] trustee...." [Northville -- the First 100 Years, by Jack W. Hoffman, 1976, p.138]
In 1867 Samuel Hardenbergh was living in Plymouth near the Plymouth Mill:
|
"Plymouth Virtual Tour 1867--If you were traveling through the Plymouth area in 1867, and decided to visit a church, you might have gone to the First Methodist Episcopal, then located next to the old High School, run by Pastor James F. Davidson, it was opened in 1826. Across the street you might have attended Second Presbyterian Church whose pastor was B.F. Murden, it was opened in 1833. The old Presbyterian Cemetery, adjacent to the property, has stones dated back to 1828. If you were Baptist, you might have gone to the corner of Spring and Mill Streets to the Baptist Church, at the north end of the village.....Walking south on Main Street, and passing the John Fuller residence (now the Mayflower Hotel) you would find that suddenly you are no longer on Main Street, but South Street, which takes you to the furthest point south in town....If you had turned north on Main Street, you'd bypass the Presbyterian Church, the High School, and ended at Plymouth Plank Road. Just beyond there, was Mill Street, as you are heading toward Detroit, and running north, Main Street. Confused, you look again, yes, a second Main Street, which appears today as Holbrook, however, perhaps the north end of town, not to be outdone by the Kellogg Park section, had a Main Street of its own. Proceeding north, you'd find yourself in Public Square where the fire station stands today, and eventually you would reach the residence of Samuel Hardenburgh, and finally Plymouth Mill which stood at the south end of what is now Wilcox Pond...."

1870 Fire -- "A Fire in Plymouth. A fire took place in lower Plymouth village Saturday June 4th., by which Mr. S. Hardenburgh, the miller lost three barns, considerable hay, and some farming utensils among which were three reapers and mowers. One horse and buggy, belonging to a friend visiting, was also consumed. The fire originated from some little boys putting lighted matches to the hay, and then attempting to put it out, in which for a while they were successful. A dweling house 12 feet distant was with difficulty saved by the strenuous efforts of the citizens, among the number, Mr. Pooler and Mr. Mathews who are deserving of much credit, having stood between the dwelling and barns when the heat was so intense, that ever alternate pail of water had to be poured over them. Loss $2,000. Insured for $300." [Northville Record 6/11/1870, p.3]

Samuel apparently was building/rebuilding a Mill at/near Plymouth in 1870, as he "bought land from D. E. Mathews and building Mill" [Northville Record 4/15/1871] [This appears to be a different mill than the Plymouth Mill which Samuel was operating in the 1860's. Was this the 'Matthew's Mill' that was later known as the 'Phoenix Mill'? When did Samuel lose the Hardenbergh Flouring Mill/Plymouth Mills to a mortgage? What happened to Samuel's ownership of the Nankin Mill?]
"Meads Mills News -- ...Corrections...in the history of Waterford which was printed in the Record of last week....The second [mill] W. McRobert uses as a barn, and the Phoenix mill that was built by Mathews was burned and Samuel Hardenburg built the present one...." [Northville Record 4/21/1899]
Photo c.1899 of the Phoenix Mill from my DEAN & JOY Family archives.
The dam washed out in 1904 and the mill was closed until 1909.
George Middleton owned the mill from 1915 to 1917 and sold it to Floyd Bassett.
In 1918 Henry Ford bought it from Bassett and remodeled the mill in the 1920's to be used as a factory and a source of electricity.
HARDENBURGH, S. - (PAST OWNER OF BUSINESS) [Northville Record 4/15/1871 -04-03] Don't know what this article is about.
That Samuel Hardenbergh owned the Phoenix Mill property in 1871 along with his brother-in-law, Asa Joy, is mentioned in an article in the Northville Record on August 14, 1896. The article describes the Phoenix Mill property being sold at public auction due to foreclosure--"....All that piece of land lying and being situate in the town of Plymouth, in the county of Wayne and state of Michigan and described as follows, to wit: known as the Phoenix Mill property beginning....to a point at or near the center of the highway ...known as the Plymouth Plank Road leading from the Plymouth village to Northville....thence along the bank of said mill pond...all the rights and privileges relating to the water power and the rise of water for mill purposes as on November 21st, 1871 were held and enjoyed by Asa Joy and Samuel Hardenburgh and as conveyed to said grantors by John L. Andrews by deed recorded in Book 188, Page 34.....
Samuel lost the Plymouth/Hardenbergh Flouring Mill before Jan 1872 as it was sold that year to Homer H. Peter by H.E.Peter:
"Changed Hands -- The old Hardenbergh Flouring Mill, in lower Plymouth, of
late conducted by H. E. Peters & Sons, changed hands on New Year's day,
coming into possession of Homer H. Peters. The new proprietor has hitherto
had the business management of the Mill, and although apparently young for
such a responsibility, has got the go-a-head spirit in him, which combined
with experience, will ensure prosperity in this enterprise. We wish our young
friend every manner of success." [Northville Record, January 13, 1872,
p.3]
"While on the D. L. & L. M. road to Detroit last week, we were pleased to come across our old subscriber Mr. Samuel Hardenburgh, of Plymouth. He has had a severe time of it since being prostrated by sickness. Though he is looking quite thin he is able to be out of doors and thinks himself improving gradually. His new Mill, lately built on the site of the Mathew's Mill, is a noble looking structure and cost in its erection over $14,000." [Northville Record 4/27/1872]
Samuel's father, John Hardenbergh, died of old age on October 12, 1872 at Redford, Wayne Co., MI. He was 77 years, 2 months and 21 days. John was born in New York, was a married farmer and was the son of Charles and Anna Hardenbergh according to GENDIS (the Genealogy Death Indexing System for Michigan .
HARDENBURGH, SAMUEL [Northville Record 3/15/1873 -04-02] Don't know what this article is about.
Samuel Hardenbergh died of consumption on January 4, 1874 at Plymouth, Wayne Co., MI. GENDIS says that he was married, 53 years of age, born NY, a Miller, parents names not recorded.
"The funeral services of Samuel Hardenberg, took place at the Baptist Church, at 10:30 A.M. Jan. 6th., Rev. J. M. Gelston officiating. A large concourse of people assembled, to pay the last tribute of respect to one, who has long been known, and respected as a business man, and a citizen. He was buried under the auspices of the 'Odd Fellow Fraternity.'" [Northville Record, 1/17/1874]
Plymouth Village Cemetery: HARDENBERGH, Samuel died January 4, 1874
Lefever Hardenbergh [is this a brother of Samuel?] died on February 4, 1878 of consumption (as did Samuel) at Redford, Wayne Co., MI. Lefever is listed as 47 years, 1 month and 5 days old, married, farmer, born NY, son of John and Henrietta Hardenbergh of Redford according to GENDIS.

Monday February 26, 1906: "...Aunt Julia quite sick...."
Sunday March 4, 1906: "...Anna ran over to see how Aunt Julia was, she is better but still in bed..."
Sunday April 20, 1906: "...We all baby [Bennett Joy Dean, age 15 months], Flo, Anna & I went over to Hardenbergs P.M., showed the baby to Aunt Julia. She said it was a nice baby but I really think she could not see it...."
Sunday September 2, 1906: "...Went over to the Hardenburgs this afternoon to pay our respects to Aunt Julia this is her 80th birthday. And they wanted us to stay for tea so we did. Mother [Lydia Joy Dean] was expected to come in but for some reason did not come...
Nov. 10, 1907: "Aunt Julia [Hardenbergh] is blind now and likes to have people come and feels hurt if they dont. She is so sensitive that one has to be very careful of her feelings at all times"
Sunday October 11, 1914: "...Aunt Julia Hardenberg, old and blind, felt [Baby] June [Dean, age 16 months] all over and asked about her. June did not know what to do about that but she did not cry or act afraid...."
Feb. 24, 1915...We got a telephone from Sam this forenoon that Aunt Julia Hardenberg died this morning about 5. Sam & Belle were up and waited on her at 4 and she was comfortable but at 5:20 they went in her room and she was dead. I and Howard went down there this evening and Sam wanted me to be one of the Pall bearers."
Feb. 26, 1915...I did not go to work but went to Plymouth to Aunt Julias funeral. The [street]car left the house at 8 and got to Plymouth by way of Farmington, Northville about 10 and the services were held in the Presbyterian Church and from there the car took us to the old cemetery in the lower village and from there back to Detroit. We got home about 1 P.M. My brother George [B. Dean], Lou, Frank Cudworth, Will Perkins, John Hardenberg and myself were the Pall bearers. While at Plymouth brother Ernie [Dean] in the place of Will Perkins acted as Pall bearer, all nephews. Mr. Rev. Jaques preached."
