Hardeman was twice married, first to his uncle Bailey's widow Rebecca, and after her death to Sarah Hamilton. He had two children by the first marriage and five by the second.
He died of Bright's disease on April 8, 1898, and was buried at the State Cemetery in Austin.

Who is correct?
The online book or the FAG memorial?

Thank you for the unmerges, Linda Zimmerman
Pam Wilson (on hiatus) do we know who the Rebecca Rebeccah Wilson who IS the daughter of Sam and Martha married?
Surely we would know the parents of the Brigadier General's wife
Tagging the two curators on the profile-- can we find a source for the third wife not mentioned anywhere BUT the FAG?

Reverted disconnect of third wife Mary Elizabeth Hardeman

I would guess she was a widow Campbell but you’d need to look for marriage records.

Rebecca Amanda Fitzallens Hardeman
has the same photo at FAG as Mary Elizabeth Hardeman on FS and so they both have it-- who is the actual person in the photo?

Erica Howton C

Oh, good point.

https://www.familysearch.org/photos/artifacts/45788788?cid=mem_copy Is the source for https://www.geni.com/photo/view?album_type=photos_of_me&id=6000000010753229854&photo_id=6000000189444911822&position=0

The FS profile for https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/KLVW-2M7 Rebecca Amanda doesn’t have an image. Since she’s died around 1850, which is very early in photography, I’m (guessing) it’s truly for much younger 3rd wife Mary Elizabeth. I’m not sure I can tell the fashions well enough to be sure. Maybe try a google lens search - and also, a query to the FS & F.A.G. managers.

For some reason this is a fun tree. Let’s keep it going.

The portrait at

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/236866056/rebecca-amanda-hardeman

is framed with an imprint, “ Bradley and Rulofson, San Francisco.”

There’s a biographical sketch of them here:

https://broadway.library.sc.edu/content/studio-bradley-and-rulofson...

So the photo was taken in San Francisco, after 1850.

Did Rebecca Amanda Fitzallens (Wilson) Hardeman even ever go to San Francisco?

Did Mary Elizabeth? :)

Maybe check the General’s travel schedule.
