Ziba and Tabitha Hardee daughter,
Missouri Hardee
Missouri Hardee was born March 14, 1854 in Alabama. Some people have Missouri Hardee listed as William and Juda's first child. I believe she is Ziba and Tabitha's last child. (William Hardee is a son of Ziba and Tabitha.)
No census record has been found for Ziba and Tabitha for 1860. However, I do have the 1860 census for William and Juda and Missouri is not listed in their household. If she was their first child she would be in their household.
Also, Missouri was born in March of 1854 and William and Juda were married in November of 1854. No way during that time would a couple have a child out of wedlock.
Ziba and family moved to Texas around 1861 and Ziba died in 1862. Missouri would have only been eight. In the 1870 census Tabitha listed as Sybatha is listed as head of household and has her son Pinkney Hardy age 18 and a female listed as Mosaria Hardy. I believe this is Missouri and she is the last child of Ziba.
William and Juda lived next door to his mother and siblings in 1870, I believe they would have been a big part of Missouri's life.
When Missouri died her daughter in law listed the father as William Hardee and the mother as Don't know. I think this is were the confusion of who her parents are came from.
Missouri Hardee married John Miles Tomlinson on February 5, 1872 in Van Zandt County, Texas.
In 1880 they are living in McMullen County, Texas.
I don't find them again till 1920 and they are living with their son James "Jim" Tomlinson and family in Eddy County, New Mexico.
John Tomlinson died July 3, 1920 and is buried in Artesia, Eddy Co., NM.
In 1940 Missouri is living with her son James Tomlinson and family in Coconina County, Arizona.
Missouri died Septemeber 8, 1947 in Flagstaff, Coconino Co., AZ. She is buried in Artisia, NM with her husband.
