I am looking for the parents and siblings of Hardy Jackson Fennell, b. 12 Nov 1866 in SC, d. 17 Mar 1945, bur. Enoree Baptist Church Cemetery, Travelers Rest, Greenville Co, SC. He m. ca 1890 Lydia Victoria --- , b. 3 Jan 1870 in SC, d. 18 Jun 1929, bur. w/husband. Children: Aaron, d. bef. 1900, age 13 or 14; Melvinia; Ethel Dora, b. 15 Jul 1896 TX; John R., b. ca 1899 TX; Argo, (twin), d. young;
Archie, (twin), d. young; Deane L., b. ca 1906 OK; Garner T., b. ca 1908 OK; Mary Gertrude, b. ca 1910 OK; Jelma V., b. ca 1912 OK.
I haven't located this family on census records before 1910 so I haven't been able to determine Hardy Jackson's parents. However, because this couple named a son Garner, I
suspect that he is a descendant of Mahala Garner and Hardy J. Fennell, who were married in Anderson Co. and enumerated in Pickens Co, SC in 1860:
1048/1025
Fennell, Hardy 67 MW GA Farmer
" Mahala 55 FW Pickens SC
" Henry L. 17 MW "
" Fredrick G. 15 MW "
" Martha M. 12 FW "
1049/1026
Fennell, William M. 27 MW Pickens SC Farmer
" Mary A. 19 FW "
1171/1149
Fennell, Tillmon 26 MW Pickens SC Farmer
" Zena 20 FW Anderson SC (nee Hinton)
" Margaret 1 FW Pickens SC
Any help or suggestions appreciated.
