There doesn't seem to be any such name as HARDENWALSH. It doesn't occur, at all, in the LDS databases, nor at WorldConnect. The only hits at Genealogy.com are this marriage record and one message in GenForum referring to this couple. The only hit at Ancestry.com is for this marriage record. The only Google hit is at my web site. So, if this marriage record is a mis-reading, what was the surname?! Has enyone read the original record?

2. 1820 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #19 of 42 — list was roughly alphabetized; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

1820 VA Wythe Co. Evensham Roll M33_139 p. 215B Ln. 18 George Hollensworth 300010-10011-0-100 no slaves

This is the closest I could come to HALDENWALSH in the census. Unless George had a prior marriage, they have too many children to have been married only one year. George appears again in 1830, but disappears in 1840. In the 1850 census of Wythe County, we find a George HOLLINGSWORTH (æ 30) listed next to his widowed mother, Jane HOLLINGSWORTH (æ 61, b. NC). Thus it appears George HOLLENSWORTH's wife was Jane, not Elizabeth, but even if we grant that our subject's wife was Elizabeth Jane, she cannot have been born in NC and be the daughter of John Peter STROUP. In other words, George HOLLENSWORTH is not George HARDENWALSH.
