Thomas Hardeman was born at Albermarle County, Virginia in 1750. He was a resident of the Watauga community of eastern Tennessee when that area known as “Over the Mountain” was wild pioneer country.
Thomas Hardeman married Mary Hardin Perkins and later married her sister Susannah Perkins. During the Southern Campaign of the Revolutionary War, Major Ferguson was detached from Lord Cornwallis’ Army to go into western North Carolina and suppress Patriot activity. He was to get support from Tories of the area. He sent notice to all who would not pledge allegiance to King George of England that he was coming to lay waste to their land and families. Hardeman was one of many who answered Major Ferguson’s challenge.
Thomas Hardeman served in the militia under Captain William Been. He arrived at King’s Mountain, North Carolina. After the defeat of Major Ferguson’s force at King’s Mountain, Hardeman moved on with the militia, and the capture of Isam Yearly and other Tories of the area.
After the Revolutionary War, Hardeman moved to Davidson County, Tennessee. He was a delegate in the first state convention.
Hardeman died 3 June 1833, at Franklin Township, Williamson County, Tennessee.
Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
