Re: John Wesley or Jefferson Davis Hardin/Ida Mae
Hi
Could not get to your url as I don't know the password??
Jeff Hardin was killed 1901 in a gunfight with John Snowden, a relative by marriage. This took place in Clairemont, Kent Co., TX.
Jeff had his problems. In 1900 he got into trouble in Ft. Worth in a saloon and had to return in 1901 to face charges, fined and released (fight in saloon). Shot a man in Scurry Co., charged with murder. He was killed before going to trial.
Jeff's wfie Mary Jane Taylor Hardin remairred Robert C. Blount about 1908 or 1909 in Kent Co., TX.
The 1910 census shows her remarried to Mr. Blount. The 1920 census finds this family having moved to Maricopa, AZ. Many years later a son placed a medicine bottle at the grave of his father Jeff Hardin at Clairmont cemetery.
Seems to be a mystery as to the details of his death, the date, the reason, a murder in Scurry Co., and more. I have uncovered some of the details from archived news articles in support of a book I am working on about Jeff, Pink Higgins, and others.
