	Volume 5, page 89, Mrs. N.E.Hardwick (Richard Brewer Sister)

May 11, 1907  folder 2 Box H-1 98 pages W.L.Hardwick dec.d Attachment Bill
I am 74 years old, live on Holly Creek, I am the widow W.L.Hardwick, dec'd and the mother of William
Richard Johnson Hardwick and George W. Hardwick, my husband has been dead 39 years. I did buy the
interst of my son W.R.J.Hardwick, in the land. I took a deed from him for his said interest.  The
R.M.Brewer whose name appears on the deed as a witness is my brother and he is still living. He just
wanted to sell, he got mad and in about three weeks after he married he came home and said I had to
give him possession, I told him I wouldn't do it, he told me he was going to put his mule on the lot
and I told him if he did I would turn it out, I did and he give me a good whipping, he went off then
and I didn't see him for a month of two, I took out a warrant for him and he was arrested and they
got after me, I mean his brothers and friends, to compromise, I told them if he would sell out to me,
I would compromise it and he sold to me and I paid him for it, every dollar. We gave a mortgage on
the land to get him out of jail in Florence, Alabama, and I then told him he could cut timber off the
land to pay off the mortgage. When John L. Bromley found out the deed for Richard interest wasn't
recorded he levied on the land. I have lived here for fifty-one year.

From Garry Wayne Brewer:

William is buried in the old Brewer Cemetery, next to his wife, she is buried in an above ground
tomb. His tombstone was ok in the middle 1970, but by the middle 1980 someone had broken it up. 
William died in April 8, 1870 as per his probate in Wayne County, Tennessee, page 168 of Wills of the
county.  In Wills of Wayne County, J.H. Brewer (William Brother in law was the Adm. Settlementor)
dated Febuary 10, 1874 sold his estate and paid the accounts. page 366.  Birth and Death information
