Ziba and Tabitha's ninth child was Julia Ann Hardee. She was born 1848 in Coosa County, Alabama.
She traveled with her family about 1861 to Van Zandt County, Texas.
There she married Andrew Jackson Cain on April 8, 1866 in Van Zandt County, Texas.

Ziba and Tabitha Hardee daughter,

Sabitha Caroline/Carolina Hardee

Ziba and Tabitha's eighth child was Sabitha Caroline/Carolina Hardee. She was born August 3, 1845 in Talladega Springs, Coosa County, Alabama.

She was about 16 when she traveled with her family by ox cart train to Van Zandt County, Texas. 

On February 15, 1866 she married Littleton Davidson in Van Zandt County, Texas.

They had seven children but three died young. I do not know the names of two of the deceased children: Lou Emma Davidson born November 28, 1866 and died November 13, 1946. Verner Littleton Davidson born December 15, 1871 and died May 3, 1930. William Asbury Davidson born April 27, 1879 died March 13, 1957. Lenora Eugene Davidson born November 18, 1880 and died September 15, 1959. Ophelia I. Davidson born July 4, 1885 and died November 2, 1886.

All their children were born and died in Van Zandt County, Texas. 

Littleton Davidson was a farmer and he built and ran one of the first cotton gins in the area. He moved a few miles and built a second cotton gin, grist mill and a general store. Littleton was appointed postmaster of Primrose, Texas in 1902 and ran the post office from his general store until 1910.

Ziba Hardee and son Thomas Hardee

Ziba and Tabitha Hardee son,
Thomas Hardee

Ziba and Tabitha's seventh child was Thomas Hardee. He was born about 1844 in Alabama.
Thomas is listed in the 1850 census with his family and is 6 years old. I have not been able to find the family in the 1860 census and I have no other records on Thomas Hardee.
I have seen some people say he was killed in the Civil War, but I have not found any record that I think may be this Thomas.
I did search the Texas unit that Samuel and Bryant enlisted in but his name is not listed.
Below is Thomas as listed in the only record of him, the 1850 U.S. Federal Census of Alabama.

Ziba Hardee and son Bryant S. Hardee

Ziba and Tabitha Hardee son,
Bryant S. Hardee

Bryant S. Hardee is the sixth child of Ziba and Tabitha Hardee. Bryant was born about September 1842 in Coosa County, Alabama. 

I believe Bryant traveled with his family to Texas around 1861. In the 1861 tax records for Van Zandt Count, Texas Bryant is listed next to his father Ziba owning 40 acres worth $120. He paid .15 tax. In 1862 Bryant owns 120 acres.

Bryant Hardee enlisted in the civil war on September 16, 1861 at Quitman Texas. He served in Company H of the 10th Regiment of Confederate States Calvary. (This is the same unit Samuel Hardee served in, which makes a good argument that this Samuel Hardee is his brother.)

Bryant received a Certificate of Disability on April 30, 1863 that reads:

...he was born in Coosa County in the State of Alabama is Twenty Two years of age, five feet eight inches high, dark complexion, dark eyes, dark hair and by occupation when enlisted a Farmer. During the last two months said soldier has been unfit for duty 60 day.

Station: Shelbyville, Tenn

Date: April 30, 1863

I certify that I have carefully examined the said B. S. Hardee of Captain T. W. Summers Company, and find him incapable of performing the duties of a soldier because of gunshot wound received through the thigh at the battle of Richmond, KY. Aug. 30, 1862, fracturing the femur completely. I further declare my belief that said soldier will not be able to resume his duties in a less period than twelve months.

A.B. Hint Surgeon

Place where the soldier desires to be address may be here added. Town Edom County Van Zandt State Texas.

He was discharged July 30, 1863 by order of Gen. Bragg.

Sometime after the civil war Bryant to Monroe County, Alabama where his two older half brothers lived. 

In 1866 he joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and attended the Lone Star, Alabama Branch.

On June 2, 1964 he married Mary Jane Patrick who was 12 years older then him. 

In the 1870 census Bryant lived next door to his half brother John Hardee. (Who some say also joined the LDS church.) Bryant and Jane had a five year old daughter and they also had another female named Mary who was 13 years old and listed as black and a laborer.

In 1880 Bryant and wife Jane have two girls, Mary P. and Elvira M. Hardee. Brother John still lives close.

M. Jane Hardee died in 1894 and Bryant married Virginia Mason on March 22, 1894.

In the 1900 census Bryant and wife Virginia have two daughters listed as Emma T. and Sugar.

In the 1910 census Bryant and wife Virginia have three daughters, Emma F., Willie Mae (Sugar) and Maggie I.

In the 1920 census only Willie Mae and Maggie are living in the household with their parents. 

Bryant Hardee died October 1, 1922 in Monroe County, Alabama. He was 80 years old.
