LOUISA ADALISA HARDAWAY

     There is some dispute over "Miss Ladd's" real name: is it Adalisa Louisa
or Louisa Adalisa; Louise or Louisa; Adalisa, Adalissa, Adelisa, or Adelissa.
Jessie Scott Williams found a card from Aunt Lucinda (Cain) Stith to her
seventeen-year-old niece:

                 To my niece Louisa Adelissa Hardaway
     Some friends may wish thee free from care; others joy and wealth.
     Some may wish you blessings rare; long life and perfect health.
     My wish for thee is better far; than all others have given.
     That when you from this world depart; your soul may rest in Heaven.
                            by your loving Aunt
                                 Lucinda C. Stith   Dec the 2nd 1882

     Several of those wishes came true. Miss Ladd lived to a month short of
her 92nd birthday. She enjoyed good health most of her life. And I am sure
Aunt Lucinda's wish for her came true.

      The Scott Family history has already mentioned the Hardaways:

             7. CHARLES LEE SCOTT 7 (Feb 9, 1861- Feb 22, 1914) md
          March 25, 1885 Louisa Adalisa Hardaway
              (Sept 21, 1865- Aug 18, 1957)
              dau James Leach Hardaway & Margaret (Cain)

           Walter Lee Scott, was the son of CHARLES LEE SCOTT (b 1861)
      who married (1885) Louisa Adalisa "Miss Ladd" Hardaway. They lived
      on a farm in Stith Valley, Meade County, Kentucky.
           In 1908 Walter Lee Scott married Ruth Fontaine, the daughter
      of Charles Beauregard Fontaine and Irene, nee Stith. Ruth was
      teaching at Shumate School at that time. He started farming on the
      Jesse Jones Stith farm in 1909. Jesse Stith's wife Lucinda [Cain]
      [md Oct 6, 1842, adopted five children] and his Grandmother
      Margaret [Cain] were sisters and his Grandfather Jim Hardaway was
      buried in a small grave yard on the hill behind the house.
           The farm was a part of the 430 acres bought by Richard Stith
      [wife Elizabeth Jones] in 1811. Richard, [son of Richard Stith and
      Lucy Hall] was the first Stith to settle in the county and had
      been here since about 1804 [from Virginia].

     James Leach Hardaway, Richard Stith and his wife Elizabeth (Jones) are
all buried on the hill at Walter Scott's farm.

     This will not be an all-inclusive record of the Hardaways. There are too
many of them to name, and sometimes the record is not clear. Laurence Gardiner
of Memphis, Tennessee, was writing THE BOOK, but it may not have been
published. Estie Stith Crabbe wrote that she had already written 45 pages on
just the descendants of Drury Hardaway and Ann Stith! But what happened to her
manuscript, nobody seems to know.
      There are several versions about the origin of the name HARDAWAY.  One
story has Thomas Hardaway as an orphan dressed in a green velvet suit, age
six. His real name, according to this tale, was Drayton. He was given the name
'Hardaway' by sailors.

     In fact, the earliest HARDAWAYS in Virginia were James Hardaway, who was
transported by a John Drayton before 1654 and his brother John HARDAWAY,
transported by Richard Tye and Charles Sparrow of Charles City County before
1650, the dates Drayton, Tye and Sparrow claimed land for the Hardaways.  It
was common practice to pay somebody's way in order to get land. These claims
may have taken place years after the actual journey occurred, and claimants
may not even know the person whose way they are paying. James and John
Hardaway availed themselves of this opportunity to get land. One story says
the Hardaways came from Blanford, England, and named their plantation
"Blanford".

      "By Act of 1784, the original Town of Petersburg and 3 nearby
      lands (1) Town of Blanford, traditionally Blanford Farm of
      Hardiway (sic) family from Blanford England, but owned by Wm.
      Poythress ca 1737-48."

Nugent's Abstracts of Land Patents 1623-1800  tell us this:

p 198  Jno HARDAWAY 12 Aug 1650 for transportation of 50 persons
       near head of Power's Creek, Charles City County

p 301  James HARDAWAY Nov 25, 1654 for transportation of 40 persons

(No wives listed on immigrants' list so presumably both unmarried)

 son of Thomas Parsons - Nancy Stith
    Estie Stith Crabbe wrote that Ezra Hardaway, son of James Leach Hardaway's
brother William, said what a fine man "Uncle Jim" Hardaway was and how
generous he was.
    Ezra had been a dentist in Carthage, Missouri, and a pillar of the
Southern Methodist Church there. In 1954, when he was over 90, he jokingly
said "Yes, the Hardaway Tree is a big one; it has grown and grown with age,
and now Estie is going around gathering up all the nuts and my kids are the
nuts."

    James Leach Hardaway died when he was 50. He had married Martha Ann Mary
Howell just short of his 21st birthday. She was 19. Their first child, Nancy
Elizabeth, died as a child. They moved to Arkansas in 1842, perhaps to be near
her parents.  His oldest son, Thomas, died during the Civil War of measles in
prison camp in Ohio when he was 22. His second son died at age 11.
William Buckner Hardaway died of tuberculosis at age 30, never married.
His beloved wife, Martha, died when she was 30, leaving her 3 boys who were 7,
5 and 2. He married Elizabeth Pawley in June 1853, a year and a half after
Martha died,  She was 20. But death claimed her before they had been married 5
years. She had one daughter, Martha Ellen, who later married and went to
Missouri, then Texas.
     His son, James Hunter, as noted, died at age 11 in January, 1858.  In
August that same year he married again, this time to Margaret Cain, 26. He was
39. James and Margaret had two sons, Jesse and Henry, and two daughters,
Louisa and Margaret. Henry was born just two months before his brother Thomas
died in prison. James died before his daughter Margaret was three.
