Rev, William H. Hearne, of Rodentown, Alabama, says:

"My grandfather, William Hearne, was born in Randolph Co., North Carolina, and moved to Montgomery Co., 1812, and died 1868. He was a farmer and Baptist. My father, Stephen Hearne, lived in Montgomery Co., North Carolina, and had four sons, three of whom served through the Civil War in the Southern Army.
