Flowers in the 1830 census (Ref. 92) and 1840 census (Ref. 93), as the eldest son of David P. Flowers, and Andrew appears near David in the 1860 and 1870 censuses (Ref. 167, 168). Also, his children had an "Uncle Dane" who turns out to be William Duane Flowers #117 who moved to Montana (Ref. 91).

When Dillard was married in Choctaw County AL on 21 Jul 1837 to Mary E. Boykin "of Mississippi," he was a resident of Charlotte, TN, and the notice ran in both the "Nashville Republican" and the "Nashville Banner and Nashville Whig" (Ref. 173, 174).

Mary E. Boykin was born 2 Nov 1823 in Dallas County AL and died 17 Jul 1878. Both were buried at Tokalon Cemetery at Dublin, Johnson County AR (Ref. 174).

According to the History of Johnson County Arkansas, the Hardwick family was said to be the wealthiest on the south side of the Arkansas River, as Col. D. Hardwick had scores of Negroes and his lands lay stretching away up and down the river (Ref. 175, 176).

As previously noted, Dillard sold 2700 acres of land in Dickson County TN to his father Jonathan P. Hardwick in 1835 (Ref. 23).

He was mentioned as Benjamin D. Hardwick in the will of his maternal grandfather, Joseph Dillard of VA on 21 Jan 1831, along with his mothers other three children (Ref. 54).

There was a lawsuit in Dickson County TN in 1846 (Jonathan P. Hardwick vs Dillard Hardwick) following the death of John J. Hardwick #135, apparently over the distribution of the property of John, which was extensive. The records include several deputations providing documentation of relationships in this family (Ref. 98).

In 1850 Dillard Hardwick is listed in both Yalobusha County MS (Ref. 99) and Jackson County MS (Ref. 177), indicating that he owned property in both places. As of 1860 they were in Johnson County AR with 8 ch (Ref. 178) but had 14 altogether including 7 sons and 7 daughters (Ref. 175):

He was married on 6 Nov 1855 to Martha Jane Dews, widow Holland. She was age 25 and so born ca 1830. She was the daughter of William and Nancy (Ellington) Dews, and the widow of Dr. William Holland. Martha and Dr. Holland had four children, all died young, but Dr. Holland, a widower, had four children by a previous marriage that was raised by John B. Hardwick (Ref. 174).

John B. Hardwicke was named after his grandfather Benjamin Hardwick, who was a Baptist preacher, and John was the author of his grandfather's biography in Taylors Virginia Baptist Ministers, Series 1, pp 384 6 (Ref. 49).

John B. Hardwicke became a member of the Baptist church in 1842, and he was ordained as a minister in 1852 at the Enon church. He at once became prominent among the young ministers of Campbell County VA. In 1853 he accepted a call to Greenfield VA, where he remained for seven years. His special mission seems to have been to rescue churches from the anti mission influence (Ref. 179).
