According to a "lookup" from a book entitled Marriages of Rowan County, NC 1753-1868 posted to this list by BJ Markland last September, a "Henry Hardister" was shown as bondsman on a marriage bond of John Howard and Betsy McDannel dated 21 October 1791. Does anyone have any information regarding who were the parents, siblings, spouse, or children of this "Henry Hardister"? Edward L.(Larry) Hardister
