Purpose of This Page
This page extends Coosa, Georgia beyond the 1860's. First a few
items about the Pisgah Church Cemetery that lies in the shadow of the
present Georgia Power Company smokestacks. A number of Hardins were
buried in the Pisgah Cemetery. Several were active in the church since
its first days.
Hardins buried at Pisgah Church Cemetery, by grouping
My
visit and photography at Pisgah Cemetery on 21 Oct 2014 did not produce
any new or better photos than now exist on findagrave.com, at Patricia Hardin's tombstone photos referenced at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hhhdoc/cemetery.html,
or at Patricia Hardin's tombstone photos at plus.google.
Many of these Hardin names appear in my GEDCOM at Rootsweb WorldConnect.
A. ELI HARDIN GROUPING
(The church is at the bottom in the diagram)

Quinton,
Mrs A J Hardin, "Born in Alabama" "Daughter of Avery
Hardin"
b. 1866 d. 1934
Anie Hardin Quinton, Jul 31, 1877 - Nov 6, 1924. (Daughter of Mary Adeline Amanda Hardin; wife of Andrew J. Quinton.)
CLARIFICATION ON MARY ADELINE HARDIN BORN 1861
Floyd County marriage records show Andrew J. Quinton on 11 Dec 1879 married Mary A. Hardin. The wife of Andrew Quinton in the 1880 Floyd County census is A. Adaline, b. 1861. The wife of Andrew Quinton, then, is Mary Adeline, the nickname is "Addie," and she is one and the same person as Addie Amanda, daughter of Avery.
Both tombstones have incorrect birth dates (See below). The most likely date of Mary's birth is 1861. It is from the 1880
census and possibly came from her own mouth. If she was born 1861 the December 1879 marriage was between a man age
24 and a woman age 18. That seems normal enough.
BIRTH DATE CONFLICTS
1849 - This is the birthdate of an older Mary Hardin born to Avery and as "Mollie Hardin"
married Wm. McCullough in1873.
1858 - Definitely incorrect. The tombstone and other records used in
Kinney, Shirley F. and James P. Jr., "Floyd Co. Ga. 1890: A Census
Substitute," 1990, has the entry: Addie Amanda Hardin Richardson,
dau/Avery Hardin, d. Sep 13, 1934, age 76. Pisgah Church, Coosa. The
calculated birth date is 1858, but that is not possible: Joseph Hardin
was born that year, and no female child that age is on
the 1860 census.
1866 - Probably incorrect. A tombstone appearing quite new and
sharpley-chiselled, photographed in 2003 by Pat Freeman Hardin reads,
"Mrs A. J. Quinton, Born in Alabama, 1866-1934, Daughter of Avery
Hardin." If born 1866, Mary A. Hardin would have been age 13 at her
marriage to Quinton and 11 when Anie was conceived. Scenario possible but unlikely. Avery Hardin's
family cannot be found in 1870 to confirm or deny the birthdate of 1866.
US Census 1880, 855th North Carolina District, Floyd, Ga: Quinton, Andrew J., W M 25, works on farm. SC Unk. Unk. (b. 1855) Quinton, A. Adaline, W F 19, wife, works on farm. AL SC SC (b. 1861) Hardin, Anna, W F 1, stepdaughter. GA (SC) AL (b. 1879) Mary Adeline Amanda was indeed a second Mary Hardin of the same father. She was twice married -- first to Andrew J. Quinton in 1879 and second to John W. Richardson in 1896.

JOSEPH MALCOLM MCPHERSON "M. A." HARDIN, son of Aaron Hardin, Jr.
I missed this stone when I visited Pisgah Cemetery. M.A., Mack A., and Buddy were some names he was known as. See him in my worldconnect tree. Information shared by James M. Hardin, Jr. of Canton, Georgia. The stone photo comes from findagrave.com, thanks to E. Jones.
H. NOT RELATED
GEORGE R. HARDIN GROUP
Enclosed in a marble border with "Hardin" carved at foot. Contains 3 flush stones.
1. Richard Lee Hardin, July 23, 1905 - May 16, 1922 (age 17)
2. David Carlton Hardin, Sep 18, 1910 - Apr 18, 1937 (age 27) Died in
Floyd County in a car accident.
Clipping
Macon Telegraph Apr 19, 1937, p5
David Carlton may
be "Carl" from the 1920 census, age 8 (b. 1912).
3. George R. Hardin, May 12, 1886 - Apr 27, 1937 (age 51)
These graves tell of tragedies. The father George Hardin in 1930 lived in
North Carolina District of Floyd County, yet he died at Milledgeville,
Baldwin County. Milledgeville was the location of the Georgia State
Sanitarium called later Central State Hospital. George R. Hardin
indeed did die at the State Hospital, according to his death
certificate, to which he had been committed for more than a year, since
18 April 1936.
Note the death of the son David Carlton Hardin in a traffic accident
preceeded the
death of his father by 9 days, and was also on the anniversary of his
father's admittance to the state hospital. Richard Lee Hardin would be
the son
Richard appearing on the 1920 census as age 14. The father George
Richard Hardin's birth is hard to pin down. He reported his birth as 1882, 1883, and 1878 in the
1910-1930 census. He married Fannie Johns Hart Hardin and had at least 11
children. They lived in Floyd County many years. In 1910 they lived in
Floyd Springs district. In 1920, Mont Alto district. In 1930, North
Carolina district. Fanny died 5 Jul 1959 in Floyd County.
DEATH CERTIFICATES:
George R.
Hardin's death certificate. He died 27 Apr 1937 at the State Hospital at
Milledgeville of bronchial pneumonia. He had been at the hospital since
about March 11, 1936.

In 1900 George Richard Hardin was 19 (b. 1881) and at home with his
father in NCD, Floyd, Georgia. He was married in 1905 to Frances Johns
while he lived in Floyd County. The 1910, 20, and 30 censuses report he
was born in Alabama, as were all his children b. up to 1910.
Father of George R. Hardin:
John D Hardin 45 b. Nov 1854 GA GA NC
Lucy J Hardin 43 b. Jul 1856 GA GA GA
Mattie L Hardin 21 b. Dec 1878 GA GA GA
George R Hardin 19 b. May 1881 GA GA GA
Cora Hardin 16 b Nov 1883, Alabama
Claudie E Hardin 12 b. May 1888, Alabama
Minnie M Hardin 9 b. May 1891 GA GA GA
I have traced the family no further than John D. Hardin, the father of George Richard.
According to Family Tree 2014 Jan 2014, an ancestry.com tree by GBush6, that looks pretty well documented: George Hardin > John David Hardin (1854-1905, lived in Floyd County) > Richard Monroe Hardin (1829-1902, b. Jackson Co. GA d Cave Spring Ga) > James Henry Hardin (1790-1836, b. NC d. Jackson Co. Ga.) That group appears unrelated to the Norse I1a Hardins. I welcome corrections.
