Well, not totally new, subscribed a few years ago before I got tired of not finding my Hinds County Relatives... LOL Is there anyone on the list that is connected in any way to the Hardy families that lived in Hinds Co., in the 1820 timeframe? I am trying to locate the parents of my gggrandfther Miles Ferdinand Hardy, and he has been a total pain. I looked at the MsGenWeb page for Hinds and saw the Tax list and found 3 possible fathers for him listed for 1824 (we think he was born abt 1830). Those names I found are Jesse, David and Wyatt, I vote for Wyatt, but who knows. I do not think David was his father, but could have been his uncle. If I drive to Jackson, do you think there is any possibility of there being records still around from that timeframe? I really would love to put this man with a family, the right one of course, and then I think with the help of other Hardy researchers I may be able to finally know from whence I came, at least on that line. Thanks in advance for any help any of you can give..... Lois Kennedy Alvin, Brazoria, TX CC for Brazoria, Fort Bend and Jack County Texas with the TxGenWeb Project
