In 1839 he was the Township Treasurer for I believe Monroe Township. The Franklin Methodist Church where he and his first wife Permilia are buried, was built in 1854 on land formerly owned by Timothy Rardin in the western part of Monroe Township in Clermont County, Ohio." (Jack Ross)

"Timothy and wife Permelia came down the Ohio River about 1794, settled in Campbell County, Kentucky.  He is listed in the 1794 Campbell County Tax list.  About 1806 he moved to Clermont County, Ohio, where he cleared 240 acres of land.  It was called "Franklin Farm", and was in Monroe Township.  Timothy was a member of Captain John Shaw's company during the War of 1812.  He served on the Grand Jury in 1828, was Monroe County Treasurer in 1839, and Justice of the Peace in Clermont County for 35 years."  (Information compiled by Mrs. Robert E. Smith, nee Maxine Marie McCarty, granddaughter of Timothy A. Rardin)

From Inquiry to the Who’s Your Hoosier Ancestor column which appeared in the "Indianpolis Times" about 1964: "Q-439 Heron-Rardin: I need names of parents of Rebecca (Herron) Rardin who died about 1885 in Fountain Co., Indiana. Would like proof that Moses was descended from John Rardin, who came from Ireland to Pennsylvania in the early 1770s. Mrs. Robert Smith, 110 North Grace Avenue, Crawfordsville, Indiana 47933. Answer: Rebecca Herron born about 1807 in Pennsylvania was probably daughter of John and Rebecca Clark Herron, natives of Ireland to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Moses Rardin born about 1803 in Kentucky is probably son of Timothy Rardin, who went from Kentucky to Clermont County, Ohio to Clay County, Indiana. The 1820 census of Clermont County shows that Timothy had six sons. The Clay County History names only five. It is possible that Moses is the sixth. I can give no "proof". I find no death certificates for either Moses or Rebecca."

Will of Timothy Rardin:
 In the name of God Amen!! I Timothy Rardin, of the County of Clermont, and State of Ohio, considering the uncertainty of this mortal life and being of sound mind and memory, do make, constitute, and publish this, my last will and testement, in manner and form as follows: That is to say - First; that if my beloved wife Elizabeth Rardin should outlive me, then in that case, I give and bequeath unto my beloved Elizabeth Rardin a good and sufficient living which I authorize and empower my executor to provide and furnish her, so long as she lives. I also authorize and empower my executor to compromise, adjust, release, and discharge, in such manner as he may deem proper and best, the debts and claims due to me. I do also if my wife lives longer than I do, in the case, if my executor choose, he may maintain my said wife, and pay taxes of my farm, which which he may have said farm without any other rent so long as my said wife does live. I do also after the death of my wife, authorize my executor, to sell my lands in any way he may think best, in lots or in any way to accommodate purchasers, and to make a deed or deeds as the case may be to the purchaser or purchasers and acknowledge and execute according to law. I do appoint and constitute my son, Jonathon Rardin my executor of this my last will, but if he should or in any way be incapable of attending to business, then in that case, I appoint my son, James Rardin in his place to do and perform the same that my son, Jonathan Rardin is authorized to do. I do also authorize my executor to sell all my personal property, excepting one bay horse colt, which was foaled the 27th day of May last, which colt I give to my son Jonathan's son, Timothy. After the real and personal property is sold, and the money collected and my debts paid, then my executor is to pay my son David's children, Permelia, Sarah, Jane, Mary, and Nelson, fifty dollars each, and also to pay my daughter Mary's children, Patia Ann, Permilia, Violet, Jesse, Mary and Timothy if he ever returns to Clermont County, Fifty dollars each. My executor is then to divide the balance of the money equally between my sons William, Moses, James, Timothy, George, and Jonathan. James has had a young mare which is to be deducted out of his share, at fifty dollars. I hereby revoke all former wills by me made. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 16th day of August, Eighteen Hundred and Fifty Six. In presence of: James Rardin, Francis Ferguson, Joseph Ferguson. Timothy Rardin (Seal). [will proved in court, Jan. 18, 1858. Timothy Rardin died Jan 3, 1858] (provided by Jack Ross)
