Hardin, Robert 25DEC1853 William Hardin Lydia Hahn
I descend from the William Hardin and Lydia listed, but I am puzzled by the name Hahn associated with her. Could it be Ann which I believe was her middle name. But she has been a real puzzle to Hardin researchers. She is the daughter of Rebecca Hardin who was the daughter of Robert Hardin and Eleanor Sherrill. She married her first cousin William R. Hardin, who was the son of Stephen, the son of Robert and Eleanor. But the problem comes from the name Lydia Philpott which appears on their marriage record in Meade Co. No one knows where the Philpott name comes from. Was she an illegitimate child of Rebecca and a Philpott? Rebecca’s sister, Emeline, married a John F. Philpott. Later Rebecca married Robert Riddle and had 6 children. Or had Lydia perhaps married a Philpott before marrying William R. Hardin? Just wondering if you might have some information about her?.
