Given in memory of Frances Harriett James Kimbrough by F.G. Middlebrook.
Hardeman County was named for Thomas Hardeman, a War of 1812 veteran and a pioneer of young America's frontier. He served as the county's first clerk and helped to shape the county that would bear his name. Hardeman and other early settlers created towns and settlements that eventually stretched over 650 square miles. They quickly established churches and schools and added businesses and farms to the fabric of the county. The nearby Hatchie River had long been a waterway used by the Chickasaw Indians, and many of the county's towns were settled on or near the waterway that led them to the Mississippi River. This river and the railroads became a prize to be won--and controlled--during the Civil War.

Over the years, two shoeboxes were added to the collection. In 1987 Joe purchased an IBM Jr. computer and a Family Roots genealogy program. The boxes went into the computer and the collection grew. By 2020 there were over 2000 names in the collection. Covid-19 came along and with it a quarantine. Martha Jane had died recently, and Joe was home alone in the house the two of them built in 1969. His son suggested he use the solitude and the information he already had to write a book about his ancestors. Joe accepted the challenge and started to work immediately writing his first book for publication--a book about two brothers who came to Madison County, Tennessee in the early 1830s and their Exum descendants who had lived in the county over the decades"--
