[Harrison County]  [Rutland Precinct]

THOMAS W. HARDY, farmer, P. O. Rutland, born in Greenup County, July 15,
1837.  His grandfather, Thomas Hardy, was a native of Scotland, whence he
emigrated and settled in Virginia; he was a soldier of the war of 1812-15,
at the close of which he moved from Virginia and settled near Chillicothe,
Ohio, where he died.  Rev. John C. Hardy, father of our subject, was born
at Chillicothe, and was educated for the Methodist ministry.  At the age
of twenty-one he was stationed on the Greenup Circuit.  He is still living
in Lewis County, but owing to an affection of his throat he is compelled to
desist from his ministerial labors.  When quite young, he was a soldier of
the war of 1812, but never engaged in any regular battles.  T. W. Hardy
was taken by his father to Mason County, where he was raised.  In 1850 he
came to Harrison and settled near White Oak Meeting House.  He married
Sarah F., daughter of James W. and Sarah (Lair) Berry, by whom he has
four children, aged as follows: Lena T., thirteen; Charles M., twelve;
Albert B., ten; Julia E., seven.  Mr. Hardy was the first Master of Raven
Creek (Masonic) Lodge, having taken an active part in securing the
dispensation for said Lodge; he is also a Knight Templar of the Cynthiana
Commandery, and now holds the position of Junior Warden in the same.
Himself and wife are members of the Methodist Church at Mt. Zion; he was
elected a delegate to represent the Kentucky Conference in the general
conference which met at Louisville in 1877.  In August, 1880, Mr. Hardy
was elected Magistrate of the Rutland Precinct as the regular nominee of
the Democratic party.  In September 1862, he enlisted in the Southern
army under Humphrey Marshall.  When Marshall left Kentucky he held the
office of Captain; he afterward acted as Adjutant and scout under Forrest;
he served throughout the war; was in several engagements; at the battle
of Chickamauga he was wounded; afterward taken with small-pox at
Louisville, where he remained till [sic] close of the war, literally
wearing out the disease by his strong constitution.
