My great grandmother was a Hardin. She was connected to Abraham Hardin a founder of the Antioch church in south Carolina. She was born in about1850. Also we heard she was related to the famous John Wesley Hardin outlaw. He was so mean that he once shot a man in the back for snoring too loud.

I really don't know. All I have is the little bit of information that my grandmother had written down. She passed away a few years ago and my grandfather's living siblings don't know much either. I haven't had much time to look into some of the people that have been suggested, but I will try to. Thanks for any help!

Hello,
I knew I had a Hardin or two in my father's mother's line - here in Missouri, though thought to have come from Tennessee. Have recently confirmed the Tennesse connection. I have Joseph Calvin Hardin born about 1846 in Wayne Co. TN leaving Tennessee for Missouri after the Civil War in the mid 1870's. Wayne county is the southern border of TN and Lauderdale Co. AL runs the length of it. His father is Lewis Hardin and mother is Margaret (said to be Harper). Lewis is said to be of North Carolina. Have quite a bit on Joseph but little else on his father at this point. Is any of this of interest to anyone?

They were in Arkansas and supposedly my great grandfather was married once before my great grandmother and they were around Indiana. I wish I could find out more.

All I know is that my grandfather was a Hardin and he had 2 older brothers. His father and mother was married in Arkansas. His father worked on the railroad at that time. I just would like to know more about that family. I know a good bit about my grandmother's family... A little to much... lol.

My step-mom had Hardin ancestors in North Carolina, mostly in Watauga County.
