Aquilla DID NOT have a son William Hardesty m. Margaret

Also some are trying to claim that Margaret Catherine Hardesty is the daughter by his first marriage - In all the years and material handed down there has only been the children listed - and also if Margaret Catherine married in Bedford, Cuyahoga Co. Ohio this also helps to eliminate Aquilla and Catherine as her parents as they resided in Coshocton and Muskingham counties Ohio and After Catherine's death remarried 3 more times and ended up in Greene county Indiana.

His children are listed below:

1. Aquilla Hardesty was born 21 Feb 1799 in , Anne Arundel, Maryland.

We can place Aquilla and his families arrival date into Greene county Indiana sometime after June 16, 1853 by reference made to a deed he made that was in laters years involved in a lawsuit of other parties in 1968:
