Notes:

Ruby Hardin Moore remembers Noah lived in a big house on the French Broad river. From description, this sounds like on the South Side of river.

The Will of Noah Hardin dated 21 April 1928 (WB page 153) names 11 of his 13 children. The 2 not named were James and Callie who died young and predeceased Noah.

Notes:

It is believed that Calfrey is buried in the Hardin cemetery, and that his
monument was removed by a relative to be cleaned up. Reference letter of M.B.
McMahan of Sept. 29, 1978 to a Miss Mary Hardin, as told to him by Sanders
Hardin. The cemetery was open to cattle grazing in 1978 when M.B. McMahan and
Sanders Hardin visited the cemetery; he notes the damage done by the cattle.

Book "DAVIS - REESE and Related Families" by Flossie Henry Pickens 1963,
section on The Mary Davis Hardin Family, names the four children of C. M.
Hardin married Mary Davis on Feb. 13, 1840. This date appears to conflict with
birth date of Catherine on Nov. 24, 1840, stated to be daughter of C.M. Hardin
married first Mary McMahan. Could the marriage year of 1840 be in error, the
oldest known child - James M. was born in 1843 ?

Cafrey Hardin in 1840 Sevier County Census; 100001-00001 or 1 m {5, 1 m 40-50,
& 1 f 20-30. Robert believed to be son of Calfrey m Mary McMahan could be the
male under 5, the female 20-30 sounds like Mary Davis. Now who was the mother
of Catherine born 24 Nov 1840 ?

Notes:

Grave noted "In The Shadow of The Smokies", Sevier County, TN Cemeteries, published 1984. "Mary Hardin b 20 Jan 1813 d 5 Jul 1904, w/o of C.M." believed as 2nd wife of Calfrey Hardin (1808 - 1864). The census for Sevier County in 1860 shows Cafry HARDIN age 58 and Mary age 47. This 1860 census transcription included a section "Maiden Names of some Women in the 1860 Census"; Mary DAVIS with husband Cafry HARDIN. It is believed the Mary Hardin buried in the Hardin Cemetery is Calfrey Hardin's 2nd wife Mary Davis.

Gideon married Nancy J. Runyan 1847. Nancy (daughter of Aaron Alexander Runyan and Esther Porter) was born 12 Mar 1828, Sevier County, Tennessee; died 26 Nov 1860; was buried Alder Branch Cemetery, Sevier County, Tennessee. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Joe Sharp (former Sevier County historican) transcribed an early Bible record, then in the pocession of R.M. Runyan, in 1951. This has a birth date for Nancy J. born Mar. 12, 1828, daughter of Aaron and Ester Porter RUNYAN. This date of birth differs from the grave marking of 1830. Bible date believed correct.
