Individual Details
(August 30, 1880 - March 12, 1963)
(NOTE FROM RALPH TERRY: It was long believed that Maggie Hardin, wife of Burl Terry, was related to John Wesley Hardin of Texas outlaw fame. Research shows, however, that if they were related, it was a very distance relationship. Maggie's father was Joseph Franklin "Joe" Hardin born in Mississippi, and his father was Asa C. Hardin born in North Carolina and married in Georgia. John Wesley Hardin was born in Bonham, Fannin County, Texas in 1853. His father was James Gibson Hardin, born in 1823 in Wayne County, Tennessee. John Wesley killed a Brown County, Texas deputy sheriff in a saloon in Comanche, where his brother Joe lived. His brother, Joe and two Dixon cousins were arrested in the wake of this killing, but John Wesley escaped. Joe Hardin and the two cousins died at the hands of a lynch mob in Comanche County, Texas in 1874. Joe was 24 years old. Joe had married Arabella Adams in 1871 in Comanche County, Texas. Perhaps through his brother, Joe's connections to Comanche County, is where the assumed connection was made by Maggie Hardin's family. There were other Hardins in Comanche County that I have not taken the time to connect to the Joe Hardin family ... some are probably kin and some not.)
