Moe, Col. Joseph Hardin had a 3000 acre land grant in Hardin County which he had surveyed in the 1780's. Apparently he was in Hardin Co., TN at that time, however, I doubt seriously that he was the first white man here. This county is split by the Tennessee River which was used for transportation long before Hardin was here. James Hardin, the 4th son of Col. Joseph Hardin, died and was buried in Hardin Co. in 1826. Col. Joseph Hardin is buried in Hardin Valley on the Knox-Roane Co. line.

I have a book on the History of Hardin County. In my book it says that Col. Joseph Hardin in the year 1815 with a surveyor and chain carriers, came down from Roane County Tennessee, selected and surveyed two thousand acres of land on the east side of the Tennessee River, south of Cerro Gordo. It goes on to say that this old man, after whom Hardin County was named, had seven sons---James, Gipson, Amos, Benjamin, Robert, Second Ben, and Second Bob ---and one daughter -- Margaret--who married Ninnean Steel before he came to this county. The first Ben and Bob were killed by the Indians when they were quite young. Afterward two more sons were born, and were named Second Ben and Second Bob, after their brothers that were killed. The First Ben and Bob were out playing in the woods when the Indians came on them. Ben was taken prisoner, but Bob outran the Indian, as was shot dead. Soon after Col. Hardin bought Ben back from the Indians, and he stayed at home about two years and ran away, and,as he was never heard of, he was supposed to have been killed by the Indians. Next chapter : first move made to establish a colony in Hardin County by the Hardins, Brazeltons, and Goodens. What I find most fascinating about this book is the genealogy that is contained in its pages. If anyone is interested I look and see if theirs is in there. Hope this answered your question Angel Moe Cunningham wrote: > To all interested Hardin Co. researchers, > > During the past week or so, I've listed the names which > are shown in the index of an 1887 Goodspeed publication on > Hardin County.

To all interested Hardin Co. researchers, During the past week or so, I've listed the names which are shown in the index of an 1887 Goodspeed publication on Hardin County. I was doing fairly well until the holiday weekend, and now I'm behind. I don't have the book with me today, but first thing tomorrow, I will continue the index listing. Also, if you haven't heard from me regarding your query, you'll hear from me no later than tomorrow evening. I apologize for my delay. I have a question of my own. In this same publication, it refers to "Col. Joseph Hardin" as having been the first white man who stepped foot onto what is now Hardin Co. soil. A few sentences later, it seems to refer to the same individual as "Col. James Hardin," plus, I see that Col. James Hardin had a son named Joseph. Was the first "Col. Joseph Hardin" the same individual as "Col. James Hardin" or was "Col. Joseph" the father of James??? Does anyone know the answer? I'm not directly related -- just curious.

WHEN WE CAN LEARN OF ANCESTORS THAT SAILED UPON THE DEEP? WE HAVE PRIESTS, RABBIS, LAWMEN, SOLDIERS, MORE THAN JUST A FEW. AND YES, THERE'S MANY SCOUNDRELS, AND A BOOTLEGGER OR TWO. HOW CAN A PERSON FIND THIS LIFE AN AWFUL DRUDGE OR BORE? WHEN WE CAN LIVE THE LIVES OF ALL THOSE FOLKS WHO CAME BEFORE?

Dear Cousins: >From THAT THEY LIVE: Worth Ray tells of James Morrow being a Captain in the Seminole Campaign (Tennessee Cousins, p. 267) commanding a company of East Tennessee Volunteers. Bill Morrow found that he served first from June 10, 1836 to July 7, 1837. He was Captain of a Company in the lst Regiment (Smith's) of Tennessee Mounted Volunteers. Only July 11, 1837, he mustered in as Captain in Lindsey's Regiment and served until July 12, 1838. In Alabama State Papers (American State Paper, Documents, Legislative and Executive, of the Congress of the United States, for the Second Session of the Twenty-fourth, the First and Second Sessions of the Affairs, Washington' Published by Gales and Seaton, 1861.) A copy of these proceedings is in my possession. The book in the Fort Worth Public Library was in the closed shelves and deteriorated a great deal as I made a copy of it. It relates that in 1836-7, during the Cherokee removal in Jackson, Alabama in which James Morrow participated under the order of General John E. Wool, they removed a white man who had taken over the home of an Indian, John Gunter, Sr. Mr. Gunter had acquired the rights of a Cherokee by having married a native. They found that to remove the white man was against civil law, but upheld by Federal law. There was a court marshal trial held by the state of Alabama. A record of this trial which gave the testimony of James Morrow reveals him to be a very intelligent and kind man; reasonable, with empathy toward the oppressed. He states that while working under the command of General Wool he investigated all complaints made by Cherokees against whites. He states that a portion of the populations of Alabama was very respectable, but a majority were unworthy; robbing and plundering the Indians, and oppressing them in many ways. In this case, Mr. Gunter made "Indian improvements" on the land and the land was given back to him. Those testifying with Captain Morrow stated their thanks to him for the way the case was handled. The court marshal of General Wool was not granted, his officers were vindicated, and the President of the United States, Andrew Jackson, commended them on the handling of this affair. In the war record of James Morrow on May 17, 1837, under General Wool, James is a Captain of the Volunteer Company, serving in the Cherokee Nation. Court met at 10 a. m., September 4, 1837, at Knoxville, Tennessee. When Dr. William H. Morrow was very ill and a couple of days before his operation for kidney stones in 1937 in San Antonio, Texas, his son, Bill, asked him who his grandfather was, etc. He remarked that his grandfather was a Captain in the Army that moved the Cherokees westward. (Letter from William H. Morrow, dated June 3, 1975). ( Jerry Kelly who put together the family history That They Live ) I read somewhere that James Morrow and possibly General Wool went home after this. They had had enough of the military and the removal of the Indians. James Morrow's of McNairy TN (1830, 1840, 1850 census) connection to the Roach line--his daughter Eliza (Elizabeth Jane) married William Thadius Roach.

G. 1870-1872; R. C. (Richard Crump ???) 1876-1880; and then Mastin Morrow in 1873. James Morrow is listed in the 12th District along with Thomas and James White and Isabella Burden. Because of boundary lines possible changing as the population incrased or such like, we find James Morrow listed in both the 12th and 15th Districts. I have questions: Is the M. Roach in 1867 Manley Roach and does anyone know anything about him? Who are W. L. and R. H. Roach? James W. is probably James Wilson Roach?

To do so would be pulling up the flowers to be sure you remove all the weeds. It is so very easy to click on the delete button. The rest of it is that you may be doing just what that sordid person wants you to do by unsubscribing. A twisted mind, like the one who sent "Young Fresh Teens" would probably love to so damage to various mailing lists. Let's don't let them succeed. Modene Knight Thornton Freestone County Texas

Since this mailing list has been in operation, this is the first time anything like this has gotten through. The listowners try very hard to keep this stuff out. No matter how hard you try, it still can happen sometimes. The best thing to do is hit the "delete" key, and go on. Just because the link is there does not mean anyone has to look. I hate it too, but if I get upset every time I see it, I'd be upset all the time. If you reply to the sender, that just tells them they have a live one on the other end, and will probably keep trying to send.

If you want to further protect yourself, you can always use the mail filtering ability of you mail reader. You might want to be careful about what words you filter out however. You see in my case, my SIXT or SIX surname is sometimes spelled SEX! I hope everyone is enjoying a safe Labor Day weekend. Jerry W.

To: Whomever is keeping this mailing list site. I received my first mailing from this site and am severly disappointed in the content. The only items on there had to do with pornography. I signed up with this site to glean more family history information. If this kind of information will continue to come through, Please remove me from the mailing list. I don't need this trash. ckreed@cyou.com

I agree the content diminishes the time we have to devote to our interests. I wonder if there is a way to block this garbage? Any suggestions from TNHARDIN-@rOOTSWEB.COM or is there someone violating our privacy? Drexel Hendon

Thanks for catching this fast. Garbage I'd say. Trecia
