Notes:

From THE ROSEMARY SUMMERS PICKETT PAPERS. William is the source of the
information in "20th Century History of Springfield and Clark Co., OH" by Wm.
A. Rockel, 1908. William was a sheep farmer. In 1863 William was a member of
the 176th Ohio Volunteer Infantry for service in the civil war. He was with
his company in camp at Urbana, OH, when he received a note from his business
partner (in the sheep farm, J.R. Ware) which asked him to turn over his gun to
the messenger, a man by the name of Thomas Cartmell, as the latter was willing
to take his place and was an unmarried man. Mr. Ware knew that Williams
absence from the sheep farm would be a sad loss to their business. William
made arrangements by which he could turn over his equipment to Mr. Cartmell,
after which he returned home. On 29 Oct 1906, Mr. and Mrs. Hardman celebrated
their golden wedding anniversary and it was an occasion that will be long
remembered by all of those who participated from many area counties and cities
including four children, seven grandchildren and eighty-eight other relatives
and near friends, many of whom were not previously acquainted.

William married Margaret Ellen Bireley on 29 Oct 1856 in Clark Co., Oh. Margaret was born on 11 Mar 1838 in Md; died after 1908 in Prb Pleasant Twp, Clark Co., Oh. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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]

Notes:

From family group record of Patricia McSherry confirming data from Amanda
Arbogast Forbes.

Family group record of parents from Patricia (Crissman) Bebernick confirms
data but indicates marriage as 16 Dec. 1824 instead of about 1840, possibly
typo error intended to be 1842. Patricia (Allen) McSherry family group record
of 1987 confirms marriage as 16 Dec. 1824, Bk. 1-B, p. 89, Clark Co., OH.
