Hardy Family, Columbia Co, AR

Dear Aunt Ludie,

I would like information on the Hardy line. This is my mother’s line and I
would like to start my research on this side of my family, but I have
limited information so far. I do know they were in a part of Columbia
County that might have been Lafayette.
