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.
