Military service
Enlisted fall of 1862, Overton County, Tennessee
Rank at discharge: Private
Military organization: Company B, 8th Tennessee Cavalry
Date discharged: Sept 1864
Moved to Texas 1872
Moved to Lubbock 1898
In the fall of 1862, forty-one year old Hardin Green enlisted in Company B, 8th Tennessee Cavalry. Soon after the regiment was organized it reported to Gen. N.B. Forrest at Murfressboro, Tennessee. General Forrest assumed command and ordered the issue of 400 flint lock muskets and 600 sabers with a small ammount of ammunition - buckshot and ball and this was the only issue of arms ever made to the regiment by the Confederate government. The remaining 500 men were armed with shot guns, rifles and such arms and they had brought from home.
The first military action was scouting around the Federal held Nashville. While camped on the Cumberland River, just above Nashville, the regiment encountered a large Federal foraging expedition. Although the 8th had never drilled and and was poorly armed they stood the fire well, falling back to the river and crossing with a loss of one killed and seven or eight wounded. The regiment then regrouped and moved below Nashville where they camped and continued their scouting operations. Hardin was assigned duty as a teamster until his team was stolen by Federal scouts. Following that unfortunate coccurrence he became a member of the calvary.
In early December, the regiment captured a large quantity of arms including Ernfield rifles in a raid at Jackson Tennessee. Before leaving the city, they tore up the railroad tracks but failed in an attempt to destroy a train carrying Federal reinforcements.
In late December, the raw cavalry encountered two brigades of Federal infantry at Parker's Crossroads. The 8th lost 146 men and 100 horses after being caught in between the two units. However, a large amount of army supplies, arms, ammunition, clothing and medicasl supplies were captured, leaving the regiment better equipped than ever. The regiment continued to be active during January, February and March despite severe cold and rain.
The summer of 1863 was spent in Tennesse scouting the movements of General Rosecran's army. Some time during this period, Hardin Green was captured. He was sent to prison at Camp Douglas, Illinois, where he remained for the next 10 months. While in prison, he almost froze which left him completely deaf in the left ear. He was afterwards exchanged but discharged on account of the deafness. Folling the discharge, his two sons, William and John, enlisted in his old company.
When the war ended, Hardin's sons came home to help him rebuild and repair the damages suffered from passing Federal forces. Conditions did not quickly improve in Overton County, and the Green family began to hear stories of the opportunities in Texas. Finally, Hardin, William and John traveled to Texas to investigate for themselves. They made the trip in a wagon pulled by two horses. The men traveled through the small town of Dallas and finally stopped at Alvardo in Johnson County. Assured that Texas held a promising future, the men returned home and began to dispose of all property they could not move.
In 1872 the entire family moved to their new home in Johnson County, Texas.
In the early 1890s, William and John moved their families to Lubbock County.
In 1898 Hardin, Francis and their five children made the move to Lubbock from their home in Jack county.
January 31, 1908, eighty-nine year old Hardin died. He was described in his obituary as as hard shell Baptist who did not identify with any one church. He left a widow, Francis, with two daughters remaining at home, Minnie, age 17 and Dovie, age 14.
Hardin Green dead, one of the oldest inhabitants of the county, a resident of Lubbock eight years. Came from Jack City. He was born Sep 15, 1821 in North Carolina, moved to Texas in 1871.

They again moved in 1890 from Thorpe Springs, Texas, to Lubbock. No township was organized at that time, only Singer Store, west of town. They settled north of present town. Later, a preacher named Bandy and the Green brothers purchased the original township of the present Lubbock City and there it started.
J. Lawrence Green writes that Hardin Green followed his sons to Lubbock, and remarried, and fathered additional children in Lubbock. The 1900 census shows Hardin, new wife and children.
