Susan, your story rings familiar to me. My maternal grandmother, Irma Elizabeth Hardaway Barnes, repeated a similar story to us kids many times that she had been told since she was a little girl...
Her ggrandparent Hardaways that came to America were poor and had to work their passage over - considered "the hard way".
So true story or not, it seems to run in that particular line of Hardaways! A connecting link!
Another synchronicity in our family stories is that she was born in Grantville, Georgia, less than a hundred miles from Columbus! several remaining relatives are still in the Newnan - Moreland, Georgia area.
