Hi, Has anyone ran across this guy? Hardy BROWN was born ca 1810 Barnwell SC. He was the s/o William BROWN & Nancy ADAMS. Hardy's parents left Barnwell in 1811 and settled in Amite Co Ms. He married Louisa WESTBROOK d/o Henry & Mildred WESTBROOK (date unknown) In 1846 Hardy married another daughter of Henry & Mildred's, Harriet WESTBROOK. Hardy & Harriet had 2 sons, James Hardy ca 1845 & William Henry ca 1845. (I know the marriage date & birth dates don't match, but thats the way it was) Hardy then married in 1849 Harriet CARROWAY. But by 1850 Hardy has no wife. His son James in living with Mildren WESTBROOK, and son William is with Hardy. By 1860 Hardy had moved to Livingston Parish La. He married Adeline HOPKINS and they had 2 daughters, Louisa Adeline ca 1861 & Nancy Josephine who married Joseph Alexander RICHARDSON in 1890 Acsension Parish. By 1870 Adeline had died and Hardy had a new young wife Sarah born ca 1843, with another child Sarah ca1868. Hardy had a lot of wives who died soon after they married him. Makes you wonder, don't it?
