William Abjah Hardin, ...not in my book. Quoting Lori Roemmich:
.
W.A. Hardin. Asher's eldest son William Abjah Hardin b 1836 ArK d. 26 Oct 1900 m. Martha York b 1841 d 18 Oct 1914 Brawley, Imperial Valley CA she was living with her youngest son Lafayette Lee Hardin and his wife Fannie. He took her body on train and buried her next to her husband at the Old Japonica Hunt Cemetary, Kerr County, TX my great grandmother Martha Lou Pearson is buried there also. William was in 1Bn Texas Sharpshooters Co A He was injured and contracted t.b. permanently disabled managed to earn living as stock farmer they had 12 children "In accordance with the act to grant land to disabled Civil War Veterans, he received Confederate Script (No. 1207) dated Nov 18 1881 for 1280 acres of land in Kerr County (File Bexar-S-49421).

Lori Roemmich's question/s:
I have Asher G. (A G Hardin) Hardin in 3 Texas Cavalry Co D and James J. Hardin in 2 Texas Infantry is that not correct?
.
.
1) Asher Garner Hardin. Yes, chances are good that he was in 3rd TX Cav--South Kansas-TX Mounted Volunteers, Company D. ... usually called the "South KS-TX Regt."
.
2) James J. Hardin. I seriously doubt that he was in the 2d Texas Infantry. I have him listed as being in "Rutherford's Infantry" which is much more likely since most of Rutherford's men lived in Hunt and Fannin Counties. Rutherford's men worked in parallel with Bourland's Regt toward the end of the Civil War when the records were increasingly fragmented, the emphasis of my 1,046-page book.
.
Notice, "J.I. Harden" is also listed in Company D of the 3rd TX Cav--South Kansas-TX Mounted Volunteers. Key is that this service is toward the beginning of the War. I'd bet that this is a mistranscription of "J.J. Hardin" ... don't forget that I've transcribed, and alas, mistranscribed, hundreds of pages of original Civil War era records.
