On 12/19/1832 he was born one of nine children to Protestant Scots-Irish immigrants Christopher Hardy, Sr. and Nancy Scott in the town of Patterson (now Mifflin), Juniata Co. On 1/22/1857 he married Mary Jane Suloff of Mifflin, daughter of Jacob ZULAUF>SULOUFF>SULOFF and Eve THOMAS. He enlisted in the Army in 1864. In 1865 he moved (with wife and two children) to Wolcott, Indiana, moved again in 1866 to Monticello, Indiana, and in 1889 moved to his final home just west of Monon, White Co., Indiana. He was one of the original members of the Presbyterian Church in Monon, and was a member of G.A.R. Post No. 101 of Monon. He died at home 11/12/1895. Thomas' wife, Mary, had died in Monticello, Indiana, on 12/28/1878 at age 42. She had born the following children: James W. b. 11/27/1857; Laura J. b. 1859; David Kerlin b. 3/14/1866; Jolene Ann 'Julia' b. 6/28/1868; Thomas b. 4/23/1870 d. 2Y 8M 2D; Mary E. 'Maud' b. 5/28 1870; Alexander S. b. 1872. I do not have further information on the children of Thomas and Mary, but would very much like to learn about any descendants so I could include them in the SULOUFF/SULOFF FAMILY HISTORY I am writing. Please let me know if you are related to Thomas and Mary. My information is that Thomas' older brother, Christopher, Jr., also moved from Juniata Co. to Indiana and lived near Thomas. The 1870 census shows their father, Christopher, Sr., living in the household of Thomas in Indiana. I regret I do not have information on the John HARDY you mention. The only John HARDY in my records is reportedly the great-grandfather of Thomas and Christopher, Jr., a resident of Ireland in the early 18th Century. Hope this helps. Nelson
