In her new book "Queen of the Confederacy - The Innocent Deceits of Lucy Holcombe Pickens" Elizabeth Wittenmyer Lewis states that Lucy's grandfather, Philemon Holcombe III "married Lucy Maria Anderson, a blood relative of Marie Antoinette." Lucy Pickens, a true southern belle and the wife of Gov. Francis W. Pickens of SC often used the non de plume "H.M. Hardimann" in her writings. Ms Wittenmyer gives an abbreviated ancestral record of Lucy Maria Anderson which establishes her line through Sarah Clark, Henrietta Maria Hardeman, John Hardeman to an unknown "von Hardimann". I believe it is possible that this "von Hardimann" may be an Austrian and since Marie Antoinette was born in Austria there maybe a link. Any info at all regarding this connection would be appreciated.
