HARDY, Henry Harvey 2/14/1820-6/30/1892 s/o Christopher Hardy; Wife: Stacy Redden - Clark's Creek Baptist Church Cem, Franklin Co, GA He didnt marry till he was 38 or 39. Though John H. Hardy, seen first as 3 months old in the 1860 census, is listed as the brother of Robert M. Hardy b 1877 in the 1900 census in Red Hollow, franklin Co GA, Robert is not listed in the 1880 census with his purported mother Stacy Hardy. Was he an orphan, like Emma Hardy listed in 1880? So where is Robert M. Hardy?
