Darden, Thornton,Adams, Hatton
Please read below: I have seen John Rufus Hatton listed as being married to Nancy Adams we know he was married to Sahah King and Nancy Rebecca Sheffield anyone have proof of Adams marriage and if not who is Clarence Hattons parents and Nancy Amanda Adams Husband?
Richard was very active in the lodge. He was a master Mason with a Fellow Craft degree and served as Treasurer from 1896 to 1898. Richard was one of nine children born to John and Elizabeth A. Darden. John Darden was born around 1790 in Virginia. Elizabeth A. Darden was born around 1813 in North Carolina. John Died around 1850 in Tallapoosa County Alabama. There is a will in Tallapoosa County Court House for John Darden. Will book #1
page 58.....it has a Samuel G. Adams listed as one of the witnesses to the will of John Darden. Could this Samuel G. Adams be related to Richards wife Lear Elizabeth Adams Darden.... The Adams family is twisted into the Darden
family in several ways. Richard Dardens Granddaughter... Mattie Dee Thornton...daughter of Martha E. Darden Thornton and William Jefferson Thornton was married to Clarence Hatton. The Grandmother of Clarence Hatton on
his fathers side of the family was Nancy Amanda Adams Hatton. Nancys parents were Nipper and Harriett Self Adams... they were buried in the Darden Cemetery
along with a Daughter and two Granddaughters. …Their graves were relocated by Alabama Power to Harmony Cemetery in Elmore County. No relationship has been
proven between Nipper Adams and Lear Elizabeth Adams but they were both buried in the Darden Cemetery.Elizabeth Adams Darden died November 25, 1906.
Around seven years later Richard Darden died July 20, 1913.
