Thomas HARDEMAN FAMILY

The following (quoted by Judge Faw) is from a book entitled "Recollections
and Opinions of an Old Pioneer, written by Peter Hardeman Burnett and
published by D. Appleton and Company in 1880:

My grandfather Thomas Hardeman was born in Virginia, January 8, 1750; and
his brother whom I never saw, settled in Georgia. My grandfather Hardeman
was among the first settlers of Tennessee, and participated in the Indian
wars of that country. He was a stout man, possessed a very fine
constitution, a determined will, and a splendid intellect. His education
was originally very limited, but by study, he became a man of distinction.
He was the neighbor and warm friend of General Andrew Jackson, and was, with
the General, a member of the first Constitutional Convention of Tennessee.
He was a farmer and made a fortune, living to the age of seventy-two. He
reared eight sons and three daughters . . .

My grandfather Hardeman was twice married, his two wives being sisters, but
all his children were the issue of his first marriage. He brought up his
sons to his own business, except John and Bailey, to whom he gave fine
educations. They were intended for the bar, but never practiced. Both were
men of fine mental capacity, especially Uncle John, who was one of the most
accomplished literary men of the Western States.

My grandfather Hardeman taught certain maxims to his children that have come
down to his grandchildren and have had a great influence over his posterity:
First--Pay your honest debts.
Second--Never disgrace your family.
Third--Help the honest and industrious kin.
There was a great difference between my father's and mother's families. The
Hardemans were fond of' pleasure, and were generally extravagant when young.
Most of them, especially my male cousins, when setting out in life, wasted
their patrimony, not in dissipation of any kind, but in fashionable life;
and afterward set earnestly to work, most of them making good livings, and
some of them fortunes. The Hardemans were generally men of the world, first
fond of fashionable pleasures, dress and show, and afterwards seekers of
fortune. But, though wild when young men, I have yet to hear of the first
instance In which they were ever accused of any criminal offense, great or
small. They sometimes had fisticuff fights (though very rarely), but I
never knew one of them to fight a duel. With very rare exceptions, they all
paid their debts. They were generally good business men, and good traders
in such property as lands and stock and were punctious in keeping their
promises and firm In telling the truth. All of the name were very proud of
the family; and, though they might have disputes among themselves, they
would not permit others to speak Ill of even those they themselves blamed.
They were very generous in aiding their relatives in starting in business
generally by good advice to the young, and often by loans of money. They
were especially kind to the unfortunate. They were generally quick-tempered
and downright in the expression of their opinions. My grandfather Hardeman
and most of his sons seemed to think it a conscientious duty, when they saw
any one do what they considered a mean act, to tell him what they thought of
him In plain terms. They were candid and resolute men and you always know
how you stood with them. If they disliked you, they would tell you so.
There were many marriages between cousins, especially in the Perkins family,
who were related through my grandmother Hardeman, whose maiden name was
Perkins. The Perkins family came from North Carolina.

Taken from English Surnames by C.M. Matthews, 1967:
(appropriately in the Human Behaviors chapter :-)
"One of the Anglo-Saxon's favorite words for describing heroes and warriors
was HARD, in the sense of unyielding and therefore [again] courageous. It
has been a hard-worked word ever since, and in fact I can hardly form a
sentence without it; but this 'hardly' which I have just used in such a weak
sense was once worthy to qualify actions performed with intense courage and
suffering. The Normans [Vikings] had a cognate word 'hardi', and between
them they have left us many honorable surnames of which HARDY and HARDING
(the brave one) are the most numerous."

Die meisten Daten beziehen sich auf Nordhessen und hier wiederum der Schwerpunkt auf die Gegend südlich von Kassel bis hinunter zur Schwalm. Es finden sch aber auch zahlreiche amerikanische Familien darunter, da meine Vorfahren väterlicherseits aus den USA stammen.
