Through Thomas Hardison, Sr. and Richard H. Koonce, who both serviced in the Civil War - CSA, I was able to become a member of the SCV (Sons of Confederate Veterans).

Through James Hardison and Michael Koonce who both served in the Revolutionary War, I was able to become a member of the SAR (Sons of the American Revolution).
I used the Michael Koonce line, as Clarence Burkett, already a member, had all the documentation up through Jane Koonce, sister of Richard H. Koonce, children of James Wiley Benjamin Koonce.
I now need to secure all the documentation necessary to add the linage of James Hardison, down to me.
