<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">James Hardin, my 3rd great-grandfather,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">was born ca. 1801 in Tennessee.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Long time Hardin-Harden-Harding </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">researcher </span><span style="font-size: large;">Oran Hardin </span><span style="font-size: large;">believed my James </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">to be the son of Joseph Hardin, Jr., </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">who was the son of Col. Joseph Hardin </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">of Knox Co., Tennessee. </span><span style="font-size: large;">This is not proven, </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">though autosomal DNA cousin matches of</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">my family members with </span><span style="font-size: large;">Hardin descendants</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">suggests that this is indeed James' line.</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">For years we hunted for James' gravesite.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Cousins walked the graveyards of Hill</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">and McLennan Counties, Texas. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Wife, Louisa Mathews Hardin, had continued</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">up through Texas with her grown children.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">But where was James?</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">On Find-A-Grave a couple of years ago, </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I found where Pete Rost took these pictures</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">of our James Hardin's gravestone.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sophia Caroline Titsworth, the </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">daughter of Alvin Clark Titsworth</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and Sarah Francis Smith Titsworth,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">was the first wife of my gr-gr-grandfather, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">William Perry Teel. </span></div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sophia was born 1 Aug 1866 in Texas (probably </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Paris, Lamar, Texas). She and William Perry </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Teel married on 7 Oct 1888 in Lamar County, Texas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Researcher Hollis Stanford found this record</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">as we researched our TEEL families years ago.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My family assumed t</span><span style="font-size: large;">hat she must have died</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(with no child by W.P. Teel) and William</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Perry Teel then married Jennie Ham</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> on 22 Sept 1890 in Bowie, Texas. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sophia married James Henry Graffman on 24 May 1896</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">at Paris, Lamar County, Texas. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">While researching records last week in</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lamar County, Texas, I stumbled upon</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">census records which led me to</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sophia Graffman, wife of </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">James Henry Graffman. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And there she was!! Sophia!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Yes, bigger than life, there was </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sophia Caroline Titsworth Teel.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Not dead.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We called her "Momie" and/or </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Grandmomie" depending upon whether</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">you were one of her 7 children or</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">a grand-child.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Mother's mother, being a wonderful cook.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">lady who set me on my quest of genealogy</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I remember Grandmomie as a single mother with </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the younger boys left at home. With little money, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">working two </span><span style="font-size: large;">jobs at times to support them, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">she did what she could </span><span style="font-size: large;">to make </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">sure they had food on the table. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I LOVED her Strawberry Cake and her Fried Pies!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And I do remember her Cinnamon Rolls. Here is a</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I think of her desserts and candy quite </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">often (especially during holidays)! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am glad that our Dennis and Stuart families</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">have cookbooks with those old recipes in them.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Has your family done a cookbook? If not, maybe</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">you should think about doing one! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One day your </span><span style="font-size: large;">younger family members</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">will appreciate it (I really believe that)!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">all the kids were out of high school.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All photos, possessions, etc. were destroyed. </span></div>
