About Martha Peterson Rives

Martha Peterson Hardaway, of Hardaway Mills on the Nottoway river, a member of one of the old and leading families of Eastern Virginia in Colonial times.

Martha Hardaway was descended from Thomas Hardaway who married Jane Drewry, of Drury's Bluff, and settled early in the 18th century at Osbornis in what was then Prince George County and now Chesterfield.

It was her on May 4th, 1733 that the vestry of Bristol Parish met at the house of Mr. Thomas Hardaway and agreed to build a brick Church at Well's Hill. Thus was born Old Blandford Church, now an historic landmark of Petersburg Virginia. Mr. Thomas Hardaway died in 1745.
