| Mary Jane Hardin
was the daughter of Henry and Mary (Phillips) Hardin. She was born 29 October
1838 in Oldham County, Kentucky. In 1839 with her parents she moved to Johnson
County, Missouri, were she lived until 1853 when she and her family crossed the
plains along the Oregon Trail to Sonoma County, California. She died there at
her home on the Hughes Ranch from pneumonia on 6 may 1902 and was buried in
Macedonia Cemetery. Mary Jane Hardin married Rowland Hughes on March 13, 1855 in Sonoma County, California. they first lived in a log cabin on the Hughes Ranch, but very soon they built a fine big home there where they lived a part of each year, spending the rest of the year at their home in Santa Rosa. Aunt Myrtle (Hughes) Haynes said that in the cabin on the Ranch "lived an old Chinaman whose name was, I believe, Sing. I know that Pa told Roleen and me not to go near his cabin, but we did one time and he gave us some firecrackers..." ...Mary Jane had a beautiful face with large hazel eyes, a small nose and dark curly hair, but she was burdened with weight, which today would be considered a medical problem. Nevertheless, she worked very hard and was a very proud woman. |
