Marianne, I have a George W. Hardy in my database. He married someone named Artesida Hardy (b. 1857 in Nelson Co., KY), the daughter of Joseph F. Hardy (1818-1900) and Elizabeth Hagan (1819-1883), both from Nelson Co., KY. I have no dates for GWH. Could he be the George Washington Hardy in your note? My source for that info is: Jude <[email protected]> (Tel. 775 575-5155) in email in Nov. 2003 to WEHIII or to <[email protected]>. - Bye from Bill On Apr 11, 2007, at 5:45 PM, marianne dillow wrote: > I can say I have gone to bed after working on genealogy and wake up > at 2 AM with an answer or a direction on where to go.
