According to James HARDISON, James, Joshua Senr. ,his uncle, Joshua Jr, Frederick and Jasper went to Pitt County.
PENSION RECORDS OF LUCRETIA GARRIS HARDISON, WIDOW OF JAMES
The application of Lucretia was not approved due to a lack of proof for her husband's service, but the application provides a wealth of
information on the family. James HARDISON also read this application and I am adding a few notes he sent to me.

in the war I will inform you of the particulars.

duly sworn according to law maketh oath that his mother aforesaid removed to this County in March 1809 from Greene County N.C.
that this affiant removed hither in or about 1822 from Edgecomb County N.C. that his mother had four children two daughters and two
sons-the eldest Hannah who intermarried with James Somerlin, & deceased about five years ago last January-this affiant is the second-third Martha who never married & is still alive-& William who deceased eleven years ago last Novr the fourth-his father died when he
was between four and five years of age-that as long ago as about the year 1800 or before he has heard his mother relate that her
husband his father had served in the War of the Revolution five tours of duty, in one tour was at Briar Creek in Georgia-that one or two
of the tours were for five months, the hardships that he suffered that having lost his shoes upon one occasion viz at the Briar Creek
defeat crossed out-and that the rock or stones cut his feet badly while barefoot-that he has been shown by his mother a bottle in which
his father carried water brought fifty miles beyond Charleston S.C. to whither he then resided in Hyde County N.C. that he served upon
Neuse River-BJM about Kinston-that he resided in Beaufort County N.C. when he first entered the service or performed his first tour
of duty-& removed to Hyde County N.C. where he resided when he entered his last tours of service-that five or six years ago Dennis
Somerlin a grandson of his mother resident then in Cumberland County N.C. understanding that the widows of Revolutionary soldiers
were entitled to pension set about examining into the case of his Grandmother and ascertain if his Grandfather's name was on the rolls-
and the person spoken to, to find out about the matter reported that the name of James HARDISON did not appear and the matter
remained still for a season and about four years ago one of our neighbors Needham B. Whitfield when coming to some term of the
Court of this County was requested to make further inquiry into the matter who reported that he had stated the case of his, this affiant's,
mother first to Wm B. Wright Esq. An attorney of the Court who referred him to Patrick Murphy who had more experience in such
business and that he had mentioned the case to Mr. Murphy who promised to make some investigation into the case-and it remained so
until last October's Court of this County this affiant renewed the application to Mr. Murphy to attend the case of his mother-that this
affiant and his said mother live about fifteen miles from Kenansville the County seat in rather a secluded part of the County and where
men qualified to manage such business never resort-and that his mother was aged-infirm-in rather destitute circumstances and without
the means of getting about to have her business attended to altho very needy of relief and the bounty of the government.

Lucretia Garris was born in Virginia, on 17 Jan 1762. Lucretia died on 27 Feb 1854 in Duplin County, North Carolina, at age 92.
From the Onslow Register by Roger Kammerer
Vol 2 p 82 - Died in Duplin Co on the morning of Feb. 27 at the residence of James Summerlin: Mrs. Lucretia HARDISON, widow of
James HARDISON, a revolutionary war soldier, at the advanced age of 92 years, 1 month and 10 days. She was a widow for 61 years,
being left a widow with 4 small children to depend on her exertions alone for support. She leaves 2 children, 26 grandchildren, 109
great-grandchildren and 2 great great grandchildren to mourn her loss. She was a consistent member of the Baptist Church for the last
46 years.
Weekly Wilmington Journal. March 10, 1854
Based on the obit, we are missing quite a few grandchildren as it says there were 26 and we only have 14 listed.
Children of James1 HARDISON and Lucretia Garris were as follows:
  + 3 i. Hannah2 HARDISON, born 24 Mar 1786 in Pitt or Greene County, North Carolina; married James
        Summerlin.
  + 4 ii. Harmon HARDISON, born 9 Jan 1788 in Greene County, North Carolina; married Elizabeth (HARDISON).
  5 iii. Martha HARDISON was born circa 1789 in Greene County, North Carolina (Widow's Pension
        Application of Lucretia HARDISON; from US Archives, Pension Application made in 1853 and was
        rejected.). She died after 1860 in Duplin County, North Carolina.
        Martha and her mother lived with her brother, William in 1810. In 1850 she along with her mother
        lived with her brother in law James Summerlin and in 1860 she lived with Lemuel Summerlin - all in
        Duplin County. She never married.
  + 6 iv. William HARDISON, born circa 1791 in Pitt or Greene County, North Carolina; married Mary Ann
        (Polly) Dail.


Generation Two


3. Hannah2 HARDISON (James1) was born on 24 Mar 1786 in Pitt or Greene County, North Carolina (Ibid.). She married James
Summerlin. She died before 1850.
On the 1850 Census in Duplin County in the household of James Summerlin are Martha HARDISON, age 61 and Lucretia HARDISON age
88. Lucretia was his mother in law and Martha was his sister in law. Hannah appears to have been deceased. Also in the household
were Lemuel 26, Charity 23, and Lucretia 30 Summerlin.
According to the census, we are missing a number of children.

James Summerlin was born circa 1771 in Duplin County, North Carolina (Alexander William Barwick Family Bible, (1955 in
posession of Miss Lela Barwick, Copy in "Dobbs County Bible Records" by William Murphey Vol 11).). He died in Duplin County,

North Carolina (Ibid.).
Children of Hannah2 HARDISON and James Summerlin were as follows:
  + 7 i. Hannah3 Summerlin, born 1815 in Duplin County, North Carolina; married Alexander William
        Barwick.
  + 8 ii. James H. Summerlin, married Mary Ann (Polly) Taylor.
  9 iii. Lucretia Summerlin was born circa 1820 in Duplin County, North Carolina.
  10 iv. Lemuel Summerlin was born circa 1824 in Duplin County, North Carolina.
  11 v. Charity Summerlin was born circa 1827 in Duplin County, North Carolina.

4. Harmon2 HARDISON (James1) was born on 9 Jan 1788 in Greene County, North Carolina (Widow's Pension Application of
Lucretia HARDISON.). He married Elizabeth (HARDISON).
The earliest we can place Harmon in Duplin County was 17 April 1826 when his name appears on the Will of James Outlaw as a
witness. It is not clear where Harmon lived before moving to Duplin to join the rest of the family. James HARDISON believes the
Harmon found on the census in Beaufort was the son of Isaac, brother of James. There was a Harmon in Edgecombe County in 1810
and in 1830.
According to the census, Harmon and Elizabeth had at least two sons and one daughter, but none are proven. These two sons are
speculation on the part of James HARDISON.

(next door to William)
1840 - Duplin Census - didn't see him but Asa and Joshua were on the census
1850 - Harmon 62, Elizabeth 50.

Children of Harmon2 HARDISON and Elizabeth (HARDISON) were as follows:
  + 12 i. Asa3 HARDISON, born CA 1810-1815; married Elizabeth Sanders.
  + 13 ii. Joshua HARDISON, born CA 1810-1815; married Elizur Jane (HARDISON); married Susan (HARDISON).

6. William2 HARDISON (James1) was born in Pitt or Greene County, North Carolina, circa 1791 (Ibid.). He married Mary Ann
(Polly) Dail, daughter of Thomas Dail and Sarah Tripp, in Duplin County, North Carolina, on 27 Jul 1815 ( Marriage License.).
William died circa 1846 in Wayne or Duplin County, North Carolina.
William moved to Duplin County from Greene County with his mother and siblings when he was a young man, as he was found on the
Duplin County census in 1810 when he was only 19 years old. His mother and sister, Martha, were probably living with him as two
females of their ages were listed in his home. He lived in the Glisson District which is bordered by Wayne County on the north,
Highway 11 on the east, Scott's Store on the west, and Goshen swamp on the south.
William and Polly married about 27 July 1815 and their Marriage Bonds are located in the Duplin county Courthouse. Benjamin
Herring was the bondsman and William Dickerson was the witness.
William served his country during the War of 1812. The US Military Archives contains the records of his service during the period. He
was a private in Captain John E. Hussey's Company and served from 17 October 1814 until 10 March 1815, when the Company was
discharged. He received $36.91 as payment for this length of service, but 25 cents was deducted for the repair of a musket. Mary
HARDISON applied for a widow's bounty land and she gives us a little information on her application. She states that she had already
received a small bounty and disposed of it. We have not been able to find any deeds regarding this bounty, but it was probably in
Tennessee. Mary states that her husband died in Wayne County in 1846 and that he was stationed at Greenfield near Wilmington
during the war. We have not been able to find any estate records for William in Wayne County.
A careful search of the Duplin and Wayne County Deed Books has not located any land belonging to William. It has been very
difficult to obtain much information on this couple and at this point, there is NO proof of their children. The list of children is pure
circumstantial. Public Records show that William Jr. was born in Duplin County and the 1850 Wayne County Census states that
Thomas was also born in Duplin County. The only HARDISON in Duplin County at the time of their births was William. Harmon did not

arrive until around 1826. William and Mary had other children as the 1840 Census lists five males under 20 in his household but they
have not been identified.
James HARDISON in Cumberland County may also be a son.

From GenForum
In your message, you mention James H. Summerlin. I have a listing for James H. Summerlin as the
father of Giles Everett Summerlin who was born in Duplin Co., NC on July 29, 1849. My only
information about James was that he was married to Mary Ann (Polly) Taylor. FamilySearch's record
on Mary Ann Taylor lists her birth as 10 Feb. 1812 in Duplin Co., NC and notes her marriage to
James H. Summerlin (AFN: 2XK3-XO) on 8 Feb., 1831 in Duplin Co., NC. What other information do
you have on James H. Summerlin or his ancestors.
Giles E. Summerlin was my great grandfather on my father's side. He is buried in Kinston, NC He died
on Nov. 2, 1910. His wife was Sarah Elizabeth Outlaw, b. Sept. 2, 1828, d. Feb. 4, 1911. Their seventh
child was Beulah Marvin Summerlin, my grandmother who was born on Jan. 31, 1891 and d. on Dec.
16, 1949.
Help if you can. I can find no other listing or information on James H. Summerlin.

Children of James H.3 Summerlin and Mary Ann (Polly) Taylor were as follows:
  + 34 i. Jesse James4 Summerlin, born 23 Feb 1832 in Duplin County, North Carolina; married Catherine Dail.
  35 ii. Nancy Summerlin. She must have married a Brooks first as there are Marriage Bonds in 1871 for
        Nancy Brooks who md Harper Williams - her parents were James H. Summerlin and Mary Ann
        Hughes.

12. Asa3 HARDISON (Harmon2, James1) was born CA 1810-1815. He married Elizabeth Sanders on 21 Apr 1835 in Duplin County,
North Carolina (Bondsman Isaac Taylor, WIT James Dickson) (Marriage License.).
Asa moved to Cumberland County where he is found on the 1850 Census Report.

Children of Asa3 HARDISON and Elizabeth Sanders were as follows:
  36 i. Joshua4 HARDISON was born circa 1836.
  37 ii. Detith HARDISON was born circa 1840.
  38 iii. John HARDISON was born circa 1848.

13. Joshua3 HARDISON (Harmon2, James1) was born CA 1810-1815. He married Elizur Jane (HARDISON). He married Susan
(HARDISON).
James HARDISON speculates that Joshua may have been named after Joshua HARDISON Sr. of Greene County who lived near the James
HARDISON family. According to the census, Joshua was a cooper.
A Joshua voted in Wayne County in 1859 along with my Thomas.

Children of Joshua3 HARDISON and Elizur Jane (HARDISON) were as follows:
  39 i. Anna4 HARDISON was born circa 1838.
  40 ii. Stephen HARDISON was born circa 1841.
  41 iii. Harmon HARDISON was born circa 1842.
         Was this the same person as James Harmon?
        _
        There is a birth records at LDS - Nancy Ann Heath HARDISON b 15 July 1864 in Kenansville - daughter
        of Harmon and Barbara Catherine Williams. Nancy may be the daughter of this Harmon.
  42 iv. Mary HARDISON was born circa 1847.

  43 v. James Harmon HARDISON was born circa 1847 in Duplin County, North Carolina (.). He married
        Barbary C. Williams, daughter of Calvin Williams and Polly Ann (Williams), circa 23 Jul 1867 in
        Duplin County, North Carolina (Ibid.).
         Patricia said he went by the name of Harmon.
        There is a birth records at LDS - Nancy Ann Heath HARDISON b 15 July 1864 in Kenansville - daughter
        of Harmon and Barbara Catherine Williams. Nancy may be the daughter of this Harmon.

Children of Joshua3 HARDISON and Susan (HARDISON) were:
  44 i. Tobith4 HARDISON was born circa 1859.

14. Jesse3 HARDISON (William2, James1) was born between 1816 and 1818 in Duplin County, North Carolina. He married Rebecca
Parker on 10 Feb 1835 in Duplin County, North Carolina (Bondsman Thomas Deal, WIT James Dickerson) (Marriage License.). He
died between 1840 and 1846 in Duplin County, North Carolina.
James HARDISON believes that Jesse, whose Marriage Bonds are located in the Duplin County Courthouse, was the eldest son of
William but there is no proof. Jesse's children are based on the Census records.

Children of Jesse3 HARDISON and Rebecca Parker all born in Duplin County, North Carolina, were as follows:
  45 i. Mary A.4 HARDISON was born circa 1835 (1850 Duplin Co, NC Census.).
  46 ii. William Kenan HARDISON was born circa 1837.
         Duplin Co Court Records - July Term 1846 - ordered that Wiliam Kenan HARDISON an Orphan child
        age nine years son of Jesse HARDISON dec;d be bound as an apprentis to Elisha I or J Grimsley to learn
        the art and misterey of farming-.
  47 iii. Thomas HARDISON was born circa 1839 (Ibid.).
  48 iv. Ann HARDISON was born circa 1842 (Ibid.).
        I have a note next to her name - she may have married William Kennan.
  49 v. James HARDISON was born circa 1843 (Ibid.).
  50 vi. Giles HARDISON was born circa 1845 (Ibid.).

15. William3 HARDISON Jr. (William2, James1) was born circa 1819 in Duplin County, North Carolina (Ibid.). He married Frances
Ann Jones in 1846 in Duplin County, North Carolina. He died in 1898 in Duplin County, North Carolina.
This line has been researched by James HARDISON who did all the early research on this family. It is written up in the Craven County
Heritage Book.
William moved to Cumberland County and then returned to Wolfscrepe Township in Duplin County.

Frances Ann Jones was born in 1822. She died in 1889.
Children of William3 HARDISON Jr. and Frances Ann Jones were as follows:
  51 i. Elias Howe4 HARDISON was born in 1847 in Duplin County, North Carolina. He married Julia (Dulcy)
        Dail, daughter of Orthneill Dail and Ester Creech, on 16 May 1868 in Wayne County, North Carolina
        (.). He married Emma Malpass after 1904. He died in 1921.
        Elias was a Baptist Minister. No issue by 2nd wife.
  52 ii. Martha Ann HARDISON married Giles Sutton.
  53 iii. Sarah Jane HARDISON was born in 1849 in Duplin County, North Carolina. She married Stephen Beck
        Dail on 18 Feb 1868 in Wayne County, North Carolina (Ibid.). She died in 1922.
  54 iv. Nancy E. HARDISON.
  55 v. William D. HARDISON.
  56 vi. John D. HARDISON was born in 1850 in Duplin County, North Carolina. He married Martha A.
        (HARDISON).
  57 vii. Joseph F. HARDISON was born in 1871 in Duplin County, North Carolina. He married Olive Sanford. He
        died in 1939.

17. Thomas Henry3 HARDISON (William2, James1) was born in Duplin County, North Carolina, circa 1820. He married Margaret
Dail, daughter of Curtis Dail and Mary Sanderson, in Duplin County, North Carolina, circa 1841. Thomas died circa 1880 in Lenoir
County, North Carolina.
There is nothing to prove Thomas was the son of William and Polly Dail HARDISON so his parentage is by process of elimination.
Marrgaret's parents are proven and their marriage is proven but various deeds in Cumberland and Duplin Counties document the
marriage. They were first cousins.
Thomas and Margaret moved from Duplin to Wayne County where they are found on the 1850 Census. Thomas was listed as a cooper.
They were in Lenoir County by 1860 in the area between LaGrange and Wheat Swamp near what is now called HARDISON's crossroads.
Since Thomas voted in Wayne County in 1859 they must have moved that year. Thomas was listed as an overseer. It is of interest that
both Thomas and Margaret could read and write, a skill they did not pass on to their children.
Their daughter Clarissa married in Wayne County in 1859 and there was an Elizabeth who married that year to Joshua Hinton. Who as
she?
Margaret's mother, Mary Sanderson Dail, left her inherited land to her children, and Thomas and Margaret sold their part to Thomas's
brother, William, who had moved to Cumberland County. There are several land transactions in Wayne County in the 1870's
involving Thomas, but since he was living in Lenoir County at the time, it is not clear why he would be buying and selling land in
Wayne County unless he inherited it from his father.
According to the U.S. Military Archives, Thomas served briefly in the Civil War. He was a Private in Co E. 61st Regiment, NC
Troops, entered service in 1862 at the age of 42 as a volunteer. He was discharged in 1862. He was also on a Company Muster at
Camp Musgrove on May 26, 1862, born in Lenoir County. He served in the 3rd Reg.t, NC inf. and was wounded on July 1 1862 in the
battles before Richmond, Virginia.
Thomas outlived Margaret as we find him on the 1880 Lenoir Census living by himself. No middle name appears for him but Rebecca
HARDISON Vause said her grandfather's name was Thomas Henry and in the Lenoir County Cross Indices there is a reference to Thomas

Henry HARDISON, Jr.; therefore, it is reasonable to assume that Thomas, son of William, was a Sr. The tombstone at the Taylor
Cemetery for Thomas Jr is a Civil War stone the family had placed there in the 1990's but it is in error. It was Thomas Sr not Jr who
served in the Civil War.
In July of 2001, Ray HARDISON provided the following information: At this same cemetery in the plot where Frank's
family is buried there is a tombstone with "Thomas HARDISON" no dates. This is the grave of an adult, has a headstone and foot stone. I
have no record of Frank having a child by the name of Thomas, soooo this could be our Thomas Sr. The cemetery is the Hinson
Family Cemetery near Castoria in Greene Co. Cemetery located about 1/2 mile north of Castoria on Highway 91 going toward
Walstonburg.
Ray said that Frank moved to Greene County prior to 1890. There is really not another Thomas HARDISON that this stone could be for
except our Thomas which indicates he moved to Greene County and probably lived with his youngest son, Franklin, prior to his death.

Information on this family is non existent and the list of children comes from the Census Records and family traditions.

Generation Four


34. Jesse James4 Summerlin (James3, Hannah2HARDISON, James1) was born on 23 Feb 1832 in Duplin County, North Carolina. He
married Catherine Dail, daughter of Curtis Dail and Mary Sanderson, on 2 Jan 1853 in Duplin County, North Carolina. He died on 15
Feb 1864 in Kinston, Lenoir County, North Carolina, at age 31. He was buried in Hughes Cemetery,, Duplin County, North Carolina.
Jesse was hung by the Confederates in Kinston NC as a traitor. His tombstone says "Sgt Co. F 2nd NC Inf. CSA" (no dates). The
CSA is confusing since the 2nd NC regiment, Co. F was a Union Army. The Hughes Cemetery is located on SR 1522, 1 mile east of
Junction 1522 & 1502 on the south side on a dirt road in the woods.

Catherine Dail was born circa 1839 in Duplin County, North Carolina. She married Ruel W. Wetherington, son of William
Wetherington and Lovie (Wetherington), on 20 May 1866 in Craven County, North Carolina. She died on 10 Oct 1873 in Craven
County, North Carolina. Information from Lonne Heath for this branch of the family. lonneheath@coastalnet.com
Notes for Catherine Dail:
Catherine's first husband, Jesse Summerlin, was a fellow Union Soldier with Ruel Wetherington. Jesse and Ruel were captured
together at Bachelor's Creek by the Confederates and put in the jailhouse in Kinston, NC. Jesse was unfortunate in that he was one of
the 21 out of 55 soldiers who was hung as traitors to the Confederacy. Many of these soldiers were never in the Confederate Army and
had joined the Union Army from the beginning of the war. Catherine was several months pregnant when they hung her husband. She
was present at the hanging and had to look away when they kicked the board out from under him. When he was dead, the hangman
stripped Jesse of all his clothes, which was his pay for doing the hangings. The Confederates then stole all of Catherine's food and

chattle, leaving her and her children destitute. She then had to bury her husband. Catherine's and Jesse's last child was born four
months later and she named him Jesse James Summerlin, Jr. Ruel married Catherine shortly after the war was over. They had three
children together before she died.
I have not been able to find Catherine's tombstone yet. Her first husband, Jesse Summerlin (Somerlin) was buried in Hughes Cemetery
in Duplin County, but I have not been able to find Catherine in that same cemetery.

circa 1872. He died on 11 Nov 1929 in Lenoir County, North Carolina (Ibid.). He was buried in Dalys Chapel Church,, Lenoir
County, North Carolina.
His tombstone says he was born in 1845 but that does not agree with the Census reports. Most of the information on this family was
given to me first by Mrs. Sadie HARDISON Farmer, the granddaughter of Christopher. Much more has been filled by his other
descendants - Lisa Haynes and Debbie Grant who are great great grandchildren as well as people on the Lenoir List. Lisa and Debbie
stated that the information was given to them by Hettie, Sadie and Lela, grandaughters of Christopher. Information on Paul's family
was given by his daughter Linda Kay Eubanks and John and Lola's children by the children themselves. Kay Becton Ogle -
PEPPERSHSE@aol.com - provided a report on the first three generations of the family that filled in a lot of empty spots. My thanks to
her.
Christopher and Hettie lived near what is today HARDISON's Crossroads. Cousin Sadie said he was reared on the Hodges Place near the
Crossroads. According to Sadie, Chris was a bit of a colorful character. The marriage date is based on the information from Sadie that
Hettie was only 13 years old when they married.

Hettie Mariessa Wallace was born circa 1859. She died in 1947 in Lenoir County, North Carolina (Ibid.). She was buried in Dalys
Chapel Church,, Lenoir County, North Carolina.

64. Thomas Henry4 HARDISON (Thomas3, William2, James1) was born in Duplin County, North Carolina, circa 1847. He married
Rebecca Taylor, daughter of John Taylor and Mary E. Bryant, in Duplin County, North Carolina, circa 1865. He married Julia West,
daughter of Fred West and Martha Priscilla Johnson, circa 1892. Thomas died circa 1896 in Lenoir County, North Carolina. His body
was interred in Lenoir County, North Carolina, in Johnson Cemetery.
This family lived in the Woodington District in 1880. According to Kate White, Thomas' only living child in 1985, Tom was buried in
the Johnston Family Cemetery between Southwood and Woodington. His tombstone was wooden and is long gone. It is assumed that
Rebecca was also buried there but his 2nd wife, Julia, was buried at Maplewood. Rebecca HARDISON Vause took me to the cemetery
many years ago and showed me the exact place he was buried and descendants obtained a Civil War headstone for the spot. Obtaining
a Civil War Stone was in error as it was his father who served in the Civil War not Thomas Jr. It is not clear to me if Thomas owned
land or not but he is on the Cross Indices several times so he probably did. He had no Will and there are no pictures of him that anyone
is aware of.

The cemetery is near Castoria. Frank and Bettie moved to Carrs Township prior to 1890 and lived between Castoria and Walstonburg
near the Jarvis Holloman farm. Ray said the tradition states that Frank would ring a bell every morning to get his children up. After he
got his boys up, he would get them started on their chores for the day, he would then hook his horse to the buggy and ride around the

104. John Franklin5 HARDISON (Thomas4, Thomas3, William2, James1) was born (
The old family picture of this family consists of John and Emma and her mother, Sallie Simmons Barwick. The children:
Hardy was out working in the fields, Marcellus (to the left), Adel in his father's lap, Marion (standing up), Felix (standing up) Becky
who was about 11 at the time.
The family moved across the river ca 1914 - I am not sure which side). He was born in Lenoir County, North Carolina, in Dec 1867.
He married Martha Emma Barwick, daughter of Richard Barwick and Sarah (Sallie) H. Simmons, in Lenoir County, North Carolina,
on 4 Feb 1891. John died before 12 May 1928 in Lenoir County, North Carolina.

        Lillian Vause, daughter of Jessie Franklin Vause and Elizabeth (Lizzie) Simmons, in Lenoir County,
        North Carolina, on 23 Dec 1915. Richard died on 3 Jul 1968 in Lenoir County, North Carolina, at age
        75. His body was interred in Kinston, Lenoir County, North Carolina, in Westview Cemetery.
  190 ii. Felix HARDISON was born in Lenoir County, North Carolina, on 22 Sep 1894 (Felix and Martha
        Virginia Grubbs HARDISON Family Bible, The Self-Pronouncing S. S. Teacher' Combination Bible,
        1902. (The Southwestern Company, Nashville, Tenn.); East Carolina University, Joyner Library,
        Manuscript Division.). He married Martha Virginia Grubbs, daughter of John Thomas Grubbs and
        Eliza Ann Fields, in Lenoir County, North Carolina, circa 1914. Felix died on 13 Aug 1978 in Lenoir
        County, North Carolina, at age 83. His body was interred in Kinston, Lenoir County, North Carolina,
        in Maplewood Cemetery.
        Felix and Martha lived on a farm she inherited from the Fields family located between Savannah
        School and Taylor's Crossroads. Any old pictures or heirlooms were burned with the house when their
        children were small with the exception of a couch from the Fields family that someone had borrowed.
        After the fire, the couch was not returned but a small marble top table owned by the Fields family was

        brought to them and I have that table today given to me by Aunt Margaret Hill. Felix was known as
        one of the best farmers in his area and right up to his death could be seen working on his farm from
        sun-up to sun-down. His sweet potatoes were the best in the state. My father said Felix could measure
        board feet in his head faster than later generations could use a calculator. Felix farmed and at one time
        owned a sawmill. He also had a curing barn that smelled like old hams which he used to cure.
        According to Proctor, he had a store across from the home before Uncle Harry had a store and he had
        a bear in a cage.
        Felix only had a 6th grade education as he had to start farming to help support his mother and younger
        siblings once his father died an untimely death. Proctor told me that on the rare occasion I was taken as
        a baby down to visit, it was Granddaddy who changed my diaper and looked after me. Like most
        HARDISONs, he was a very good looking young man and had a head full of black hair even when he
        died.
        Martha was rather raised with a silver spoon in her hand so I have been told. To my knowledge she
        never worked on the farm. She was very musically talented but never took any lessons. She had a
        piano and used to play and it is also my understanding she could play several other instruments
        althought I don't remember her ever doing so. She enjoyed poor health and even though I was an adult
        when she died, I never remember her not being sick. The last years of her life, she was deaf and blind
        and then lost her mind. Her son, Daniel, took loving care of her. We think she may have had
        Parkinsons Disease but it was never diagonised.
        I regret that we were never close to these grandparents.
