I'm looking for anyone else researching the family that includes Samuel William Hardin, b. abt. 1880 in Texas, d. abt. 1921 in Texas. Mother Margaret Hough. Siblings Cretho, Nettie, Ellen. Married Nellie Wilkerson (her father was Jack Wilkerson b. abt. 1861). Children Ollie, Alvin, Rene, Bertie

I'm researching the Hough family including Margaret Hough. Do you happen to know her husband's full name?

Thanks

I don't know much about Margaret Hough. I don't know the name of her husband, other than his last name was Hardin.

A letter from Margaret's granddaughter says her name was pronounced "huff", that Mr. Hardin divorced her, and that he later remarried and is buried at Diball, Texas. Margaret argued they were not really divorced, because the courthouse where the record was filed burned down. Margaret's mother was Charlotte Hough (don't know her maiden name), and the family moved to Texas from the Carolinas right after the Civil War.

Margaret is included in the 1920 US Census living with her son Samuel W. Hardin, who is the head of household. It shows she was born about 1855-1856.

If this seems to be the same Margaret Hough you're interested in, I'd appreciate it if you would let me know what more you know about the family.

Margaret Hough (Maggie) was the daughter of Hugo Horterson (or Hatterson) Hough and Charlotte Hornsby. They were both born in South Carolina, Hugo was born in Charleston. Both are buried in Morgan Cemetery in Montgomery County, TX.

I'm researching this Hough family to see if it ties into mine. So far I haven't found a link. But I was also trying to find out Margaret's husband's full name.

And yes, the name is pronounced "Huff".

My great grandmother was Isabelle Diar Hough Purswell. She lived a couple of houses down from Hugo Hough in the late 1800's so they knew each other for sure but I haven't been able to establish a relationship.

Hugo and his wife are on the Find-a-Grave website in Morgan Cemetery. There are photos of them there.

Thanks.
