Personal Information    |    Sources    |    All    |    PDF

  • Name Hardy Arthur Walker  [1, 2, 3, 4
    Born 4 Jun 1880  Dickson County, Tennessee, USA Find all individuals with events at this location  [2, 3, 4, 5, 6
    • Hardy's 1900 census enumeration offers birth of June 1880. Charles Bowen's book offers birth date of 4 June 1879. Since Hardy did not appear in the 1880 census as either a 1-year-old (or a newborn), it is likely that he was born in 1880, not 1870. His cemetery marker offers a birthdate of 4 June 1880, likely to be the correct date.
