Hi Susan
I just came across this information as I was researching the history of Marianna, Arkansas, which is where my grandfather, Irvin Ingram Hardin was born, and where his parents, Adlai H Hardin and Cordelia (Dixie) Jones lived.

H. M. Jones, recognized as one of the well-to-do and enterprising farmers and stock raisers of Independence Township, was born in Limestone County, Ala. His father, Kimbrough Jones, was also a native of Alabama, and was married in 1846, to Evaline Weatherford, who bore him eight children: Sally (Mrs. J. P. Farrel, of Marianna), Betty (Mrs. Beauchamp, now dead), Margaret (the wife of J. D. Brown, of Marianna), Fannie (now the wife of Mr. Beauchamp, of Marianna), Emma (deceased), S. W., Dixie (Mrs. Harden) and H. M. (the subject of this sketch). Mr. Jones was a successful farmer, and in 1868 moved to Arkansas, settling in Lee County, where his death occurred two years later. Mrs. Jones is now living with her children in Marianna, and is a member of many years' standing of the Methodist Church. Mr. Jones settled the land owned by his father and which is now operated by him. After the father's death he assumed charge of his mother's family and the management of her estate, where his intuitive sense and excellent business qualifications were given a wide scope. His farm consists of 100 acres of valuable land, with eighty acres under cultivation, and bears evidence of careful and unceasing attention. In his political belief he is a Democrat.

In this text it says that one of the 8 children is a Dixie, married to a Mr Harden. Could this be our Cordelia (Dixie) Ophelia Evalina Jones and Adlai H Hardin? I think it is a pretty good bet, especially as Cordelia's mother's name is Evaeline and one of Cordelia's names is Evalina. What do you think?
