According to family legend, Andrew Hardway Sr. was born on the
banks
of the Rhine River in Southern
Germany*. He migrated with his parents to
America at a very
early age [This could be in error and actually refer to his
father George Hardway]. They first
settled at Hightown, Highland Co.,
VA, which originally was part of Pendleton Co.. Andrew
Hardway, Sr. married Margaret
Sherrit, possible daughter of Daniel Sharrit
and
Mary Catherine Meyer, at
Pendleton Co.,VA on 19 Oct 1809. The ceremony was performed
at
the home of his father, George Hardway, by George Guthrie, Baptist
Minister of the Gospel. They were enumerated in the 1810
census at Pendleton Co., VA. He enlisted into the War of 1812 as a
private in Col. Sharp's 6th VA Militia, Capt. Johnson's Co.,
on September 13, 1813 at Franklin, VA . He fought in the
Battle of New Orleans under Andrew Jackson and at the Battle of
Tippecanoe under William Henry Harrison. He was Discharged on 14
March 1814 at Norfolk, VA.. He was enumerated in the 1820 census at
Pendleton Co.,VA. He received no compensation for war services,
but in 1824 accepted a Land Grant from the government in lieu of pay
. About that year, he and his family moved by covered wagon
to the area near Columbus, Franklin Co., OH. They were
enumerated in the 1830 census at Jefferson Twp., Fayette Co., OH.
Between December 1838 and May 1839, Andrew Hardway Sr. purchsed
over 600 acres of land in Orange and Johnson Twps., Clark Co., IL
His residence was listed as OH. About 1839 they removed to Clark
Co., IL and settled on 40 acres of land S. of Martinsville in Orange
Twp. They later moved to a farm about 1/4 Mile W. of
Neadmore. They were enumerated in the 1850 census at Johnson Prct., Clark Co., IL. Andrew was a farmer. |
They were some of the earliest settlers to this
area. Their
youngest son, Francis Marion was the first white (non-Indian) chlid
born at Orange Twp., Clark Co., Martinsville, IL.
On March 25, 1851 Andrew redeemed a Land Grant
Warrant for 80 acres
in Orange Twp. The deed for this Warrant is signed 1 July 1851 by
Pres. Millard Fillmore.. Andrew Hardway, Sr. was enumerated in the
census at Orange Twp., Clark Co,IL in 1870.
Andrew Hardway, Sr. died on his farm at Clark Co.,
IL. He was
buried at Baird-Barr
Cem.,Martinsville Twp.,Clark Co.,IL.
*This legend could be in error; actually referring to his father George. There is some evidence that this is the George that came over at a young age with his father Jurg and served in the Revolutionary War.
Her parentage is not certain.
Margaret Sherrit applied for widow's pension on 16
Mar 1872. She
was approved for monthly pension of $8.00/ month on 8 May 1877.
