Much of the material used here about the Bardin family and its ancestry, has been derived from the research of John MacKenzie, a descendant of Jesse and Jeanette Bardin.
According to the histories written about his father, James, Jesse came to California with his parents and siblings in 1856 by boat. The family first settled on land near the site of what became known as Blanco in Monterey County. According to the family stories, he dug the grave to bury his wife's grandmother, Rebecca (Venable) Cockrill.
