Henry and Misouri are located in the 1880 census of Cherokee county, Alabama. I am trying to locate the family of my Great-grandmother, Irena/Irene J. Hardy, born 11-20-1871 in Georgia, died 9-6-1934 in Rapides parish, Louisiana. She was married to Napolean G. Long, born 4-13-1870 in Polk co. Tennessee, died June 1911 in Sun, Louisiana. I have been unable to locate Irena in the census before she married Napolean. I did come across a Arsenia J. Hardy in the 1880 census of Cherokee co. Alabama as the daughter of the above listed Henry and Missouri. I know how names were mis-spelled or how nick-names were also used in the census. This Arsenia is the same age as my great-grandmother, born in the same area and lived in the same area. Also listed in this census, is a brother to Arsenia named William who I then found in the 1910 census in Wa! shington Parish, La. and that is also where Napolean and Irena was at in 1910. I am so hoping for ANY information about this family. Thank You Donna Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

In the 1870 Cherokee County GA (not AL) census is: Hardee, Henry, 28, SC --Emaline, 28, GA --Melchisedek, male, either 4 or 21 [number(s) are written close, but is most likely 4 based on parents notation about reading/writing), GA They live in the 1032nd General Militia District, Canton post office; written page number is 178, would be 295-B if stamped. The 1880 Cherokee County AL data indicates Emaline and their son apparently died and Henry remarried in GA and they had children there before moving to AL between the birth of their last two children (that is, between 1876 and 1879). After looking at the data on the census images online, it appears that your greatgrandmother Irena is listed there as Arrenia J., not Arsenia J. The third letter in her name does not have the sharp upper tip of a written "s"....compare with the small "s" in other names on the page.
