the State Archives guy who researches adoptions. No record ever of any
Hardwick’s with name changes at all. So, I guess if his real mother
was this H. Lucy Madantz then maybe he just was taken in by the
Hardwick’s and used their name. That is kind of what happened with
my uncle. His real name is Hardwick on his birth record but he took the
name of his step father Flynn and has used it his entire life. Never was
adopted.</span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>P.S. I had another thought,
perhaps Jesse was the illegitimate son of Thomas Hardwick and this woman.
A similar thing as that also took place in my husband’s family. He
had a relative who was married and got this young lady pregnant. When she
had the baby she had a nervous breakdown and named him as the father and the
hospital called him up and told him to come pick up his daughter. His
wife was not happy, but they kept and raised the little girl.</span></font></p>
