My 5th great grandparents are Solomon Hardy and Martha unknown. I descend from their daughter Elizabeth who married David Harris in Loudoun County, Virginia. Solomon Hardy's lineage has been proven and is as follows : (1) William Hardy (immigrant) died 1718 married Elizabeth unknown. Lived in Charles County, Maryland. (2) William Hardy died 1740 Prince George's County, Maryland. He married Ann Stimson, daughter of Solomon Stimson (Stimpton) and Elizabeth Finch. (3) William Hardy born 9 Feb 1720 St. John's Parish at Broad Creek, Prince George's County, Maryland. Married unknown. (4) Solomon Hardy born 1746/49 in Prince George's County, Maryland. He married Martha unknown. Solomon lived in Loudoun County, Virginia 1757-1791. He moved to Bedford County, Virginia where his first deed is dated in 1791. Martha died after a 1805 deed. Solomon's will was written 12 Nov 1824 and proved 23 May 1825 in Bedford County, Va. and the estate sale was 26 Jan 1826. Litigation continued to 1829. Solomon Hardy was named after his grandfather, Solomon Stimson and a uncle, Solomon Hardy, born ca 1732 that married Rachel Livers, daughter of Arnold Livers and Mary Ann Drane. In past research, there has been much confusion betwween my Solomon Hardy born 1746/49 and his uncle, Solomon Hardy, born ca 1732 who married Rachel Livers. My next grandparents, Elizabeth Hardy married David Harris in Loudoun Co., Va. They moved to Bedford Co., Va. and to Allen County, Ky. David died in Allen County in 1842 and Elizabeth died ca 1851. I descend from their son, Joel Hardy Harris who married Sarah Ogles and their son James W. Harris who married Louisa Agnes Guy. She was the daughrer of Larkin Guy and Frances "Fannie" Waggoner of Allen County. This is to all that have researched this family through the years. Marianne Dillow

Marianne, Do you have any idea who David Harris's parents were? There are a couple of Harris researchers on this forum and you surely got my attention with this. Mine were in Warren County, Allen Co., and vicinity from Ca: 1800 on.
