Notes:

From family group record of Patricia McSherry confirming data from Amanda
Arbogast Forbes. Year of birth and death from Patricia (Allen) McSherry's
family group record of 1987 in file.

Additional information and confirmation from THE ROSEMARY SUMMERS PICKETT
PAPERS citing "20th Century HIstory of Springfield and Clark County, Ohio" by
Wm. A. Rockel, 1908 on the first nine children given to the writer by the son,
William H. Hardman. Rosemary reports on three possible additional children
named Henry, Margaret (m. 1873 to John Cylvester Ralster and d. 1922) and
Callie who married James C. Leechman. These possible additional three children
are from Patricia McSherry of New Orleans who says in her letter to Rosemary on
18 June 1991 - "My ancestor Margaret has a question mark because I can't find
her on a census, etc. Found a lot re Wesley thru court records. (He is listed
as a brother in Margaret's obituary. He is dead and had no children from three
marriages. Jonathan W. or W. Jonathan Hardman/Herdman moved his family thru at
least six Ohio counties between 1824 and 1876; Clark, Fairfield, Perry,
Hocking, Union and Madison. He was listed as a farmer, shoemaker, gunsmith and
constable. Margaret's obituary gives her brothers as Henry and Wesley and her
sister as Callie. Family tradition could be wrong and although the Wesley I've
researched is (on a marriage cert.) a son of Jonathan and Mary (Arbogast)
Hardman, there could be another Wesley of Champaign Co., OH. Margaret's death
info, by her eldest daughter, states parents unknown - - how that could be when
they gave surviving brothers (2) and a sister in the obit I can't figure out."
Rosemary appends a note which reads "The info in the "history" was given by
William and he would have probably known about three additional children,
especially since they were living at the time. Jonathan Hardman came from a
family of 13 children so these last 3 may have come from one of Jonathan's
brothers." - or any sibling.

Jonathan married Mary Arbogast on 16 Dec 1824 in Clark Co., Oh. Mary (daughter of Peter Arbogast and Sarah Henderson) was born about 1806 in Pendleton Co., Va/Wv; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
