Hoping someone will recognize these: I am researching my HARDIN line. It is my maiden name, I am the last one (only female HARDIN) and I do not know where it originated. My gg-pateranl grandmother, Elizabeth Hardin b. 1883, somewhere in TN? , met a man by the name of Louis Bryant, and together they had a baby girl, who was born prematurely and died in March of 1915. Lizzie's mother, Susan Waycaster (Hardin?) Oxendine b. 1865, is the daughter of Elijah Waycaster. I understand that many of Carter County, TN settlers came from the Yancey area and was hoping that you could direct me as to where to look for birth, death and so forth information on this family... The 1910 Carter Cty. and the 1920 Carter Cty., censuses list Elizabeth as living with James Oxendine, her stepfather, and Susan Oxendine, her mother. The list also incudes both of Lizzie's children, William Robie Hardin 1902 and Sarah Jane Hardin 1906?. The 1910 census lists Lizzie as being born in TN, her father born in TN, and her mother born in NC. As if this isn't confusing enough....the death records for Carter County on this baby that was lost list Louis Bryant (NC) as father and Elizabeth Hardin (NC) as reported by James Oxendine. Is the assumption that Lizzie was living with James in Hampton, Carter Cty., TN in 1910 and then perhaps moved to NC with this Bryant, and then moved back prior to the 1920 census correct? I do know that Bryant is part of Lizzie's name as the obituary for my ggrandfather William Robie Hardin (Robie) states his mother as "Lizzie Bryant Hardin". Any insight? Thank you very much for your help and guidance! Kim Hardin Coombs
