Lewis J. Hardee, Jr.
This collection represents the over twenty years of
research that went into the creation of Mr. Hardee's privately published volume
Three Southern Families - A History of Connecting Hardee, Jones, and Davis
Families of Coastal North Carolina, published in 1994 by Southport
Historical Society, Southport NC and printed by the Barefoot Publishing Company,
Wilmington, NC.
Included in the collection are letters, diaries,
ledgers, notes and ephemera dating from the early 19th century and through the
20th century. The collection also includes many secondary sources which help
paint a more thorough picture of the Hardee, Jones, and Davis Families history
within the context of local, national and international events.
This collection was donated to the William Madison
Randall Library by Lewis J. Hardee and family in July 2003.
The Collection has been designated Accession Number

Madison Randall Library, University of North Carolina at Wilmington, 601 South
College Road, Wilmington, North Carolina 28403-3297.
