Memories and Stories
No county has been identified as the birth place of Hardeman Hughes. It is not known if the birth place refers to the area covered by the current state of North Carolina, or the area that was the part of western North Carolina that later became Tennessee.
One source suggests that Hardeman Hughes married in Greene Co TN, and that his wife's name was Cynthia Church.
Various researchers have looked for records which might reveal one or more additional offspring for Hardy Hughes and Sinthia Cook. Candidates include George Hughes b. 1800-1810, Hardy Hughes (see below), and Thomas Hughes b. 1815-1820.
Speculation on the Namesake of Hardeman, the Given Name
If Hardeman is a surname that married into the Hughes or Allen lines, an instance of such marriage remains to be identified. What has been found, however, is documented service at the Battle of King's Mountain in the Revoutionary War for both Thomas Hardeman and Francis Hughes, father of Hardeman Hughes. Thomas Hardeman and his sons proved themeselves as leaders in both Tennessee and Texas, as noted below.
The following summary for the life of Thomas Hardeman appears on a web site of Frances Casstevens:
"Thomas Hardeman and wife Mary Harding Perkins moved to NC, the 'Watauga Country' in 1777. He fought at the Battle of King's Mountain, and was Capt. of a company that marched against the Cherokees in the Nicojack War of 1794.
"In 1783, the Hardemans moved to Davidson County, TN to Hardeman's crossroads near Nashville. In 1788 he served in the NC House of Commons as a representative from Davidson Co. He was a member of the NC Constitutional Convention, and was a delegate to the Convention which adopted the first Constitution of Tennessee.
"He served as a Senator in the TN General Assembly in 1797. For his Revolutionary War Service, Thomas received 640 acres on the Little Harpeth in Davidson Co., TN (later Williamson Co.). His home was called "Sugar Hill" and was about 5 miles S of Franklin. He later moved to Missouri and remained until 1830, returned and died in TN in 1833)." (23)
