Searching for descendants of Thomas HARDY, Sr. and wife Mary Jane nee
SULAFF of White Co. Indiana. I will be happy to exchange extensive
ancestral history for information on descendants of this couple.
Following is a summary of information I have on this family.
Thomas HARDY, Sr. moved from Juniata Co., Pennsylvania, to Wolcott,
Indiana, in 1865. His wife was Mary Jane SULAFF (spelled SULOUFF and
SULOFF in Juniata Co.). Mary Jane is my first cousin, four times
removed. Information on their children follows:
Son James W. HARDY born 27 Nov 1857 Juniata Co. PA, died 18 Sep 1880
Monticello IN. He died before age 23 and perhaps did not marry.
Daughter Laura J. HARDY born 1860 Juniata Co. PA, married George F.
MCDONALD (1860-1947) 6 Dec 1878, died 6 Mar 1881 Monon, IN. George F.
MCDONALD, who lived to age 87 and died in 1947, surely left some people
in White Co., Indiana, who would remember him. I would appreciate
hearing from anyone who knows anything about him or his children.
Son David Kerlin HARDY born 14 Apr 1866 in Juniata Co. PA, died 11 May
1957 Burnettsville, White Co. IN. His wife was Laura Caroline TEMPLE
born 15 Dec 1874, died 18 Sep 1946. Since David died in 1957 at age 91
and his wife died in 1946 at age 72, I am hoping there are people living
in White Co. who would remember this couple and possibly their children.
I would very much appreciate hearing any word about them.
Daughter Jolene Ann "Julia" HARDY born 28 Jun 1868 in White Co. IN, died
6 Mar 1881 in Monticello IN. Since she died at age 13, on the same day
as an older sister died and within six months of the death of an older
brother, I am wondering if there was a disease in White Co. that caused
their deaths in 1880-1881.
Son Thomas HARDY, Jr. The birthdate I received for him is 23 Apr 1870,
but since this is within one month of the birthdate received for a
sister, it must be questioned. He died 25 Dec 1872 under three years of
age.
Daughter Mary E. "Maud" HARDY. The birthdate I received for her is 28
May 1870, but since this is within one month of the birthdate received
for a brother, it must be questioned. She was reportedly born in White
Co. IN and died on 15 Mar 1888 in Monon, White Co. at age 18 years.
Son Alexander S. HARDY born 1872 in White Co. IN and died in 1947. He
was married 22 Feb 1899 in Monon to Minnie G. ALBRIGHT, born 15 Sep 1879
and died 5 Dec 1980. Census indicates they had a daughter Minnie
Albright HARDY born in 1899. If anyone living knows anything about
Alexander or Minnie (ALBRIGHT) HARDY, their children or grandchildren, I
would deeply appreciate hearing from them.
Son George McDonald HARDY born before 1878. No further information on
him.
I will be grateful for any comments or information on above persons.
