Gillia "Gilly" Bennett Hardin Birth: Aug. 25, 1787 Death: Sep. 29, 1877

D/O Stephen & Gensey Wade Bennett

Here are some interesting notes on Gilly Bennett Hardin #13278154 (she was married to John Hardin #22505523)
Feel free to post it to FAG:
Hardin, Gillia (Gilly) (25 Aug 1787 - 29 Sep 1877) Daughter of Stephen Bennett, Sr., and Grisselle (Gensey) Wade Bennett. Wife of John Hardin. Gilly and John were married in Jackson County, GA, in 1812 or 1813. They moved to Pickens County, AL, between1822 and 1825, then to what is now Calhoun County MS about 1839. They were the parents of 14 children. Their descendents are related to many people in Calhoun County and in many other states.
AUTH Poplar Springs Cemetery, Calhoun Co, Miss. Gillia had two children when she married John Hardin. Who the father was is not known. Gillia was excluded from the Walnut Fork Baptist Church of Jackson County, Georgia on June 22, 1811 for "lying and whoredom". One of the stories has that she and the father were married by a traveling preacher and that the church would not accept their marriage so she was excluded. This possibility is strengthened by stories found in other research of unlicensed, so-called preachers who traveled about the country where they married couples for a small fee then disappeared. However, if this happened to Gillia, what became of her husband and why did her children keep her name. It has been said that Gillia was a small woman who smoked a clay pipe and was inclined to show special favors for her favorite grandchildren. (information from contributor # 46857421)
