Ginger, Thank You for all your kind words, they are appreciated. Hardeman County is on the Tennessee/Mississippi boarder and Stewart County is on the other side of Tennessee on the Tennessee/Kentucky border. I will be glad to check for these names for you. Genealogy is my passion and I love helping others find what they are looking for. I will let you know what I find.
