Thank you Linda Reno for shedding insight to this line. Since my postings it appears this may be a dead end with the rest of the Hardy family in Charles County as I have been informed that the lineage of the Charles County Hardy family starts with William Hardy 1718. Michael Marshall brought up the subject to me that maybe Ignatius Hardy could be the father of my Solomon Hardy born 1746/49 in MD --- died 1824 in Va.and moved across the Potomac River to Loudoun County from MD with George Hardy and wife Mary and William Hardy with wife Sarah and son Hanson Hardy and my Solomon. However, there doesn't seem to be hardly any documentation on Ignatius Hardy to prove this theory. Would anyone have any information on Ignatius.?? I know I am grabbing at straws but the first time I have seen the given name of Solomon in the Hardy family is the one born ca 1732 that married Rachel livers....then my Solomon is born ca 1746/49 in MD. He has to fit in this time frame somewhere. Thank You, Marianne Dillow
