HARDIN, Mrs. ANN "GRANDMA"
The death of Mrs. Ann Hardin at Hillsboro on July 24 recalls the early settlement of Texas and brings vividly before the mind the hardships and dangers encountered by the heroes and heroines who planted civilization where Indians held sway.
Mrs. Hardin came to Texas with the Stephen Austin colony sixty-one years ago and settled with her parents at Nacogdoches fort, then in the midst of a wilderness alive with savages.
She was once captured by the Indians, but was rescued, and was the first woman married in Texas after annexation and was a resident of Hill county at the time of its organization thirty-five years ago.
She was a cousin of ex-Governor Rector of Arkansas and Jefferson Davis, ex-president of the Southern Confederacy. (Fort Worth Daily Gazette, Fort Worth, Tex, Jan 2, 1889 )
