Beth, I have found a Hardin Padgett buried in the Wesley Chapel Cemetery, according to the Howard County Cemetery Book. In the same cemetery, Delina Cunningham, wife of John, and a young son named Elbridge are also buried. I have also found more information in the History of Howard and Cooper Counties, 1883. William Padgett is listed as one of the early settlers of Prairie Township, Howard County. There is also a biography of John P. Cunningham, who was the son of John & Delina (Padgett) Cunningham. He was the cashier of the Howard County Bank in Glasgow at the time the biography was written. The elder John & Delina had 8 children according to this biography. It goes on to say that John & Delina went to California in 1850 during the gold rush and he died out there the following spring, which explains why he is not buried in Wesley Chapel Cemetery with his wife and young son. WOW !!! Thanks again for finding my Padgett ancestors!
