I've searched Hardy Co years. Formed from Hampshire Co between 1782-87. There are tax lists for those years It was still Hampshire Co in 1782. I belong to the WVHAMPSH-L-request@rootsweb.com SUBSCRIBE joint Email list..My Email is being sent to several with HARDY WV sources, In Ohio, the counties just east of Fayette had many from Hampshire-Hardy cO- INDEED we shared a note yesterday that said the vet's of 1774 Lord Dumore's war to Pickaway,Ohio had spent years around the fireplace telling how pretty the Pichaway Co,Oh area was. I'm thinking Rev John Jeremiah Jacobs m Mike Cresup's widow might be the Jacobs family.
