Ronald M emails:
I visited St Marys City during the reunion, and they have a wonderful web page as well. The Smithsonian currently has a display of Jamestown and St Marys City artifacts, including the lead coffin and skeletal remains of Lady Calvert, including a reconstruction of her facial features and a computerized avatar of her. These would be worthwhile additions to your site. Also, I’m dismayed that Holy Cross cemetery no longer knows the interment location of Basil Hayden and some others from the league. Perhaps a section calling for cemetery photos and family records would be helpful towards pursuing a professional survey of Holy Cross and other neglected burials. [Ed. note: please contact Ronald directly if you have information about Holy Cross Cemetery (Marion County, KY) or can help: molohaninsac -at- netscape.net]
Can anyone send us links for Holy Cross cemetery in Kentucky.
These are what we can find for Holy Cross cemetery in Kentucky: GraveAddiction, FindAGrave (here is what they have for Basil Hayden, Sr. and this entry says there is no marker on his grave), USGenWeb. My Kentucky Geneaology and Hearthstone Legacy Publications have some Marion County links but nothing specific to Holy Cross. Also see The Roman Catholic Diocese of Owensboro, Kentucky, by Turner Publishing Company, on Google Books.
These are what we can find for Holy Cross cemetery in Maryland: Google Maps, Internment.net, on Ancestry.com, USGENWEB archives, and MD State Archives.
Written In Bone: Forensic Files Of The 17th-Century Chesapeake, is an exhibition at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, running through January 6, 2013.

And when sending us info, it is a real time saver if you can send us the Internet/web links to those items. Thanks.
Your page is good. I’ve attended six of the MD-KY Reunions. One concern that I had was the lack of a process to know who was actually at the reunions at the time they were in session.
Please continue with the page. One of my Maryland ancestors is buried at Holy Cross and I’ve visited his grave there.

I’m looking for information on John Hardesty / Catherine Thomson. Their son William Hardesty/Nancy Budges……. Also HOW do I get or sign up for a password to get into the web site…Thank you William Alonzo (bill/lonnie) Hardesty
My father-in-law, Edgar Alonzo Hardesty, (1884-1972) was the youngest child of Alonzo H. and Mary Catherine Baker Hardesty of Dover, Ohio. Alonzo and his brother William owned several flour mills in Ohio. Edgar’s older brothers, Walter and Harry, were active in Florida real estate. My daughter is currently restoring the Hardesty family home in Dover, built in 1855. We are seeking family informatiion and photos, if possible. annh@wilkshire.net
Are your Hardestys related to the Joseph Hardesty, b. @1813 in Maryland? I know that besides him, there were two Richards in Ohio in the mid-1800s, and I believe one is the uncle of the other. I have quite a bit of info on Hardestys in MD and in OH.
Portia, I just found your msg or would have replied right away. The earliest Hardesty we have found is William A. Hardesty (wife Louisa Knauff Hardesty). William was from Maryland, moved to Malvern, Ohio, in the early 1800′s, owned one of the first flour mills in eastern Ohio. Had ten sons, two daughters, most of his sons also became millers. We would appreciate any info you might have about this family.
