Grace, Thanks for the information. My records show that I had corresponded with Brenda Nikirk earlier on this subject. I spent some time in the Courthouse recently researching the property that was the Laden's Mill site. Thomas Winchester received a Patent on a 50 acre tract, signed by the Governor of Tennessee and recorded on the 21 day of July 1837. In 1838, Thomas Winchester sold the 50 acre tract to James R. Russell described as follows: Beginning at a point 100 poles east of the northwest corner of George Cagle's 100 acre Survey; thence running west, 100 poles; thence north 80 poles; thence east 100 poles; and thence south 80 poles to the point of beginning containing 50 acres. Witnesses: Henry Garner and William Wallice, 4th August 1838, recorded 4th December 1838. In 1844, James R. Russell sold 10 acres of the 50 acre tract to Charles H. Almond (Allman). Beginning on the southeast corner of a 50 acre Entry in the name of Thomas Winchester; thence west 40 poles to a dogwood on the south base line of said 50 acre Entry; thence north 40 poles to a stump in a field; thence east 40 poles to a leaning birch on the west bank of Indian Creek; and thence south to the point of beginning containing 10 acres. Witnesses: Thomas M. Russell and John W. Lindsey, 15 January 1844, recorded 16 March 1844. Recorded in the next page in the deed book was a Trust Deed from Charles H. Almond to: Charles C. Freeman indebted in the amount of $123.50 Thomas Callens, $38.875 Josiah G. Lindsey, $181.00 Samuel B. Hargrove, $164.88 All due the first day of March 1845. Attest: Charles M. Polk and Thomas Layton, 16 February 1844, recorded 16 March 1844. On 5 January 1846, James R. Russell sold the the remainder of the 50 acre tract (40 acres) to Thomas M. Russell, with the deed being recorded on 3 February 1846. On 7 April 1849 C. H. Almond sold the 10 acre mill tract to Green H. Polk, and John W. Lindsey. Witnesses: Ezekiel Conley and G. W. Shulds, recorded 23 April 1849. In 1851, Green H. Polk, John W. Lindsey and C. H., Almond sold the 10 acre mill tract, including the Gristmill and Dam to John R. Laden, deed , 3 December 1851. On 29 March 1851, Thomas M. Russell sold the 40 acre tract to James Miller, deed recorded the same day. On 15 January 1853, James Miller sold the 40 tract and an additional 31 acre tract immediately north of said 40 acre tract, to John R. Laden. He also bought a tract from W. H. Cherry in 1853 bringing the total acreage to about 140 acres in the neighborhood of the mill. In 1882, John R. Laden sold the above tract to L. K. Laden. The deed was recorded on 29 September 1883. On 3 February 1890, L. K. Laden sold the 140, acres including the mill site, to A. H. Northcutt. Northcutt's heirs still own the property today, 03 April 1999. The 1860 census shows Saltillo as the Post Office for this area, 1870 shows Savannah, and 1880 lists Laden's Mill P. O.

Hi, I am new to this list. I am researching any NEIL/NEILL/NEAL that were in Hardin County, TN. Also would be interested in any ALLISON, KERR, FALLS and DUCKWORTH families that were there, also. These families were very closely aligned during the early to mid 1800s. Kindest regards, Vivian V. Eagal Mobile, ALabama

Can someone please put me in touch with Ann Lee Bussey who stated that she was the great-great-granddaughter of Haran (sic) Haynes and Sarah Lamb Haynes? I have a lot of information on this couple to share with her. Also, the correct given name for this man was ~Hiram~, not Haran, nor Haram (as is shown on his tombstone which was erected years after his death). Roseanne Cain

Robyn, As far as I know there were no Colored Units formed in Hardin or any of the surrounding counties. The closest would be from Hardeman and Madison Counties, both about 50 miles distant. Company C of the 59th U.S. Colored Infantry Regiment was formed in Hardeman County while Companies A and B of the 61st U.S. Col. Inf. Reg. were formed in Madison Co. Other companies of the 59th and the 61st were formed in Fayette and Shelby Counties. The Harbour that owned the slaves in the 3rd C. D. in 1860, was Elijah, and before him they belonged to his father Samuel Harbour who died ca 1846. There were 24 slaves with 7 males and 7 females over the age of 14 living in 6 houses. In 1860, the E. Harber in the 5th C. D. was Elisha. He had 4 sons, enumerated in the 1860 census. James G.; E. C. H.; Samuel F.; and Elisha B. The 1860 Slave Schedule shows E. Harber having 15 slaves living in 4 houses. Giles Holt owned 19 slaves living in 4 houses.

I've recently learned that my Alford KENNEDY (KENADY) who lived in Decatur and then in Hardin counties in Tennessee, died in Hunt County, Texas in January, 1880. It is believed that Alford's father was an Isaac KENNEDY. Other information I have on my KENNEDY family and a picture is located at: http://www.ecsis.net/~lmoore/kennedy.html Does anyone have any info on this?
