Yet another version says he lived alone in a cabin east of Hardin's Station which had been established in 1780 by his son, Captain William Hardin and was killed by Indians on the Brandenburg Road about a mile from Hardinsburg, KY.
In 1785 and 1786 two grants for 400 acres each were made to him in Jefferson Co., KY on Hardin's Creek, near the land of his son, William.
