Sources

1. ↑ from Southside Virginian: "Agnes Thweatt married Thomas Hardaway (c. 1715-1795), of Dinwiddie, the son of Thomas Hardaway and Jane Stith. The 1906 genealogy by S.E. Hubert, Thomas Hardaway of Chesterfield Co. and his Descendants, gives her name as Agnes Peterson. However, the Bible record of this couple, in the possession of descendants in York, S. C. and copied by Laurence B. Gardiner, states that Thomas Hardaway and Agnes Thweatt were married 24 Dec. 1737. The birthdates for the following children are from the Bible. The marriages are from the records of Laurence B. Gardiner of Memphis, Tenn. The birth of the oldest child, Susan, also appears in the B. P. R.

Leads

• Work on profiles other Thomas Hardaways needs to be done to ensure information on her parents is solid. While evidence is strong that the profile attached as her father is the correct Thomas Hardaway, other Thomas Hardaway profiles exist & some have information that appears to be for her father.

• Her mother, Thomas's second wife, is given as Agnes Thweatt in the bible record for the couple (quoted - I have not seen a transcript or images of the original). Other sources say Agnes Peterson. Perhaps née Peterson, Thweatt's widow? More information on her mother would be good.
