My HARD*STER Family was in Pulaski County from ca 1840 to 1860 plus. Married into the (Solomon) CARPENTER Family which is a mystery in itself --- uncertain if Solomon's "children" were CARPENTER or COLLIER, though two daughters married my gg-grandfather. The HARD*STERs were associated with the SKAGGS, DEER and ROOK Families, but to a lesser degree. Mike
