HARDESTY

Linda Greenwald asked 3 years ago

Was 40 years old in 1850, living with Richard Wheeler, age 42. No ID as to her status. Living in Anne Arundel Co., Maryland. Not in the 1870 or 1860 census with that family. Other woman in the family is the wife of Richard; enumerated as W Catherine Wheeler, Murray C.  Marriage record in a journal (with no witnesses, and written by a third party) records Richard Wheeler marrying Murry C Hopkins.  Who is Elizabeth to Richard and/or Murry. Is Hopkins a widow surname, is Hardesty/Hardisty a widow or nee?  Thank you for your help!!
