Notes for LOUISA HARDY:
Louisa is very young to be the daughter of John and Rhody Hardy. Perhaps she is one of the two Indian children that where taken into the home.

There is not a source document in my files to explain John and Rhoda Hardy raising two Indian children, however family tradition says that they did take in two children and raise them. These children: Lenoir and Louisa seem to follow John Hardy from Pulaski County, GA to Henry County, AL and received land patents in Alabama. Ruth Govorchin, who is researching the line of Lenoir Hardy writes, "Lenoir our gg grandfather was, according to family rumor, an Indian boy adopted or taken in by John and Rhody's family. Can't find anything to verify or deny this; apparently b. March 3, 1825 in Georgia, d. November 20, 1885 and is buried in Buffalo, Leon County, TX."
