John Hardin

I am a Malone researcher, and Martha Malone Hardin was a d/o Daniel Malone and his wife, Sarah Sullivant of Lunenburg/Halifax Co., Va. and she married first to William Hardin, then after his death, to a Willingham. William Hardin had a sister, Ann Hardin who married Martha's brother, Peter Malone...and they lived in this time frame in Columbia Co., Georgia area. The Milhous surname comes from the group of Irish Quakers, a group of people who with Samuel Wyly, was given land in Cape Fear River, NC pre 1750's and were lost at sea and landed by mistake in Charleston, SC and went up to a place called Pine Tree Hill (in the area of now Fairfield and Chester Co., SC. They traveled with the Milhous family of Richard Nixon (past-president's family tree). There is much documentation of this group, and one of my husband's other side family (not Malone) was on the same ship, as a yeoman farmer, not a Quaker. The Milhous/Wyly group was. There indentured servant of Samuel Wyly and his wife, (believe she was a Milhous, but not positive) was indentured servant's, Cornelius Malone Sr. and his children, William and Cornelius Junior and a daughter whose name escapes me...but this group of people from County Timahoe, Ireland were given their freedom soon after or within a year or two of landing by mistake in Charleston. Anyone asks, I can exchange. My husband's line of Malone is from Daniel Jr. Malone, brother of Peter Malone md. to Ann Hardin, and Martha Malone who married William Hardin. I was trying to fix a wrong history of another Malone and tripped over Mary Lou Hardin, md. Franklin Jefferson Malone, and it led me to his son, Ferdinand Madden Malone, d. Shelby, Memphis Co., Tn. and a son of Franklin Jefferson Malone and Mary Lou Hardin, of Limestone Co., Alabama...and her son was of Shelby Co., Tn (Memphis). Wow. what a find. Add anything (or nothing) as you see fit. Molly McLaughlin, Malone researcher/book seller/Malone and Allied Families, 1996 by Randolph A. Malone (now deceased) and fulfilling a promise I made to him years ago "fix what is wrong".
