The 1880 census shows that Green Hardaway is working on a farm owned by Nicholas Miller. I didn't transcribe that listing, but the 1880 census is available online at familysearch.com should you wish to check it.
I would think that your Green Hardaway may have been the son of Adam and Pleasant Hardeman shown above. Comparing names from the 1870 and 1880 census listings, it seems that the children went by Hardaway in 1880.
I didn't find Adam or Pleasant after 1870.
There are several Hardaway and Hardeman marriage records listed at the Gonzales County website. Here is the link:

From the 1870 census, it looks like Adam and Pleasant Hardeman/Hardaway moved from Louisiana to Texas at the end of the Civil War in 1865. Checking the 1860 Louisiana slave schedules, there are only two slaveowners named Hardeman or Hardaway. I looked at various spellings and these are the matches:
Carroll Parish, LA
William D. Hardeman, 60 slaves
Madison Parish, LA
Wm. Hardiman, 42 slaves
I suspect that the William Hardeman in Carroll and Madison Parishes is the same man as the two parishes border each other. William D. Hardeman, a planter from Tennessee, is shown on the 1860 census for Carroll Parish. I did not find him listed in the Madison Parish census for that year, leading me to think that he owned slaves in both parishes but lived in Carroll. Carroll Parish was split into East and West Carroll in 1877. There are a good many owners named Hardeman, Hardaway, etc. in Texas in 1860.
Not saying that William Hardeman was the owner, but he seems a good possibility. You would need to check through the old deeds in East/West Carroll and Madison Parishes to see if Adam and Pleasant are mentioned by name in any sales. Typically, they were identified in these transactions.
I hope that this helps some and good luck with your search.
