Hi Joe, Do you happen to have any HARDIMANS in your line? My g.grandfather was Peter Strother Hardiman, b. Sept 1, 1844. two brothers; John and Patrick. Their sister brought them to New York, abt. 1856 after their parents died during the p.famine.1847-49. Peter settled in Giles Co. Va. Patrick married in Wilkes co. to Harriet Harris. I see the name Egan all the time intermingled with the Hardimans? Just Curious. Thank you.
