Can anyone tell me why families left Hardy Co. for Greene, County TN? Don Young I believe that Greene Co, TN, was also bounty land given to those who had fought in the Revolution. I cannot find any war record for my wife's Hale family who got requested and got their land from NC. Frederick Hale got his land in East Central TN when it was all Greene Co. He ended up in Athens, McMinn Co. Jeff Carr of TX
