I have just received e-mail on this line.My sons are a descendant of this Thomas Hardeman.Here is the E-mail I received:The following biographies are from Judge Folks Huxfords "Pioneers of Wiregrass Georgia" and are really all I have on Thomas Hardeman.Please excuse the appearance, i.e., font, indentions, etc.I had to scan these in from the Huxford books and the scanning process sometimes changes the format drastically.I would love to connect this Thomas, and his daughter Harty (some say Hardy) with the other, better known, Hardeman's.Any help you might give me will be greatly appreciated. Where did you find Thomas's father?

The family name was uniformly spelled "Hardyman" in the old Bible record of Thomas Hardyman kept in the Sirmans family. It is also spelled that way on the deed and estate records of Screven and Bulloch counties and on the state land-grant records, and also in the South Carolina Revolutionary War accounts. (2) He served as captain in Col. Powell's Regiment, South Carolina militia, in 1775-77, in the Revolutionary War; and his son, Joseph, served as ensign in the same company under his father (see p.245, Gregg's "History of the old Cheraws"). About the time of the close of the Revolution, the Hardyman family moved to Georgia and settled in Effingham County (later cut into Screven and then Bulloch counties).
