Julia Chapman married Walter Hardy in Newton County, MS. They had 4 children (Bertha, Corena, William and John). Sometime around 1904, Julia married her second husband, Alfred Chapman and they moved the family to Jones County, the Hardy children with them. By 1930, it appears Julia had married a third husband with the last name of Alridge, who was deceased by 1930, as Julia was listed as windowed and living alone in Jones County. Would appreciate any information anyone can provide on this family. Thanks Charlie
