Hopestell HARDISTER reportedly was born in Tennessee ca 1813. She married (1) Benjamin Young CARNAHAN ca 1833 in Arkansas, and (2) Abraham B. TAYLOR ca 1845 in Marion County, Arkansas. QUESTIONS:

1) Has anyone confirmed who her parents may have been?

2) Is there a known date and/or location of her death?

3) One source lists (a) Hopstill Elizabeth HARDISTER born 1 July 1808, in Randolph County, North Carolina to Samuel H. HARDISTER and Rebecca LANIER. I have an undocumented given name for this person as "Hopestell." Are these two different people or the same person, if anyone knows for certain...educated guess?

Thank you! Mike in North Carolina via California
