Hi Steve,
My family descends from Jonathan Hardegree and Mary Polly Giles his second wife. I believe your wife's family may descend from Jonathan and his first wife Martha Patsy Cameron. I haven't researched the children from Jonathan's first marriage so I don't have first hand knowledge.On Ancestry.com is listed the following family:
Jonathon Hardegree b abt 1776 m Martha Patsy Cameron
Their son Harmon H b 1810 m Mary Polly Willoughby
Their son William Jackson b 1839 m Rebecca F Harvil
Of course none of this is verified, but it might give you a place to start looking.
In my files I have census records for Jonathan 1820 - 1840 in Clarke Co Ga (adjacent to Oconee Co); 1850 in Heard Co and 1860 in Coweta living with a daughter. I have notes saying he was in Oglethorpe Ga in the early 1800's and then relocated to Clarke. One of the census records gives his birth as Maryland.
Today I looked and found an 1850 census record for Harmon Hardigree age 40, wife Mary age 36 living in Scull Shoal, Clarke Ga. In the household is a male Wm J age 10. I couldn't find Harmon or William J in 1860. Sometimes the census records are hidden under strange spellings because of the original handwriting and/or mistakes by the census taker.I'll try to look for William J 1870-1920 and let you know.
Given the locations I think it is a good bet that this is your family.
Nora Lemons has written a book about the Hardegree/Hardigree family located in Clarke and surrounding areas. Jonathan Hardegree and his family with Marth Patsy is included in that book. If you live near Clarke Co there is probably a copy in the Athens library. Here is her web site with info about ordering the book.

Hope this helps you locate more information about your family.
