HARDEE, WILLIAM, farmer, section 1, P. O. Siam; born May 2, 1815, in Bourbon county, Kentucky. When very young went with his parents to Preble county, Ohio, remaining four years. In February, 1836, moved to Montgomery county, Indiana, and in March, 1842, came to Page county, locating where he now resides. He is, therefore, one of the very oldest settlers in the county. He has held a number of township offices, and was one of the first judges ever elected in the county. His connection with the county’s early history is fully given in the body of this work. He was married to Elizabeth A. Farley, August 11, 1836. They are the parents of twelve children, eight of whom are now living: Theressa Ann, Oliver P., Clarissa J., Rebecca E., William D., Sylvester N., Francis E., and Ezra P.
