Biography

Private Hardy Warren served in the Illinois Militia in the War of 1812
Service started: May, 1815
Unit(s): Mounted Illinois Militia (Whiteside's)
Service ended: November, 1815

Hardy was born in about 1779 in North Carolina, United States.

Hardy was in Illinois by 1815, where he enlisted as a private in Captain Samuel Whiteside's^[1] company of Mounted Militia of the Illinois Territory from May 1815 until Nov 1815 at the tail end of the War of 1812, which dealt primarily with the British-allied indigenous tribes in the northwestern borders of the Illinois Territory.^[2][3]

In 1820, Hardy lived in Ridge Prairie Township, Madison County, Illinois, United States with his wife and six children.

In 1830, Hardy lived in Madison County, Illinois, United States working as a farmer. This was the only Warren household in Madison County recorded in the 1830 census. Hardy's brother-in-law, Peter Smart,^[5] lived nearby. The Warren household consisted of Hardy, his wife, seven boys, and four girls (names below are inferred):

Hardy's wife Elizabeth died in 1836^[7] and he remarried Nancy Creed Fox in 1837 in Madison County, Illinois.^[8]

In 1840, the family is living in Edwardsville Township, Madison County, Illinois.

In 1850, Hardy owned a farm in Madison County, Illinois living with his second wife, Nancy Creed, a likely step-son John Fox, four children, and 18-year-old George Allen who worked on the farm.^[10]. Hardy and Nancy migrated to Anderson County, Kansas Territory in the spring of 1855 during the Bleeding Kansas period^[11] where they were "prominent among the Free State men".^[12] There was an incident in which Hardy, a Free-Stater,^[13] and a young Isco P. Sutton (future member of the Kansas State Legislature) had a two-horse team and a wagon on a road near Greeley, Anderson County, Kansas Territory when they were confronted by pro-slavery ruffians under the direction of John S. Waitman. They confiscated the wagon, one of the horses, and detained the elderly Hardy as a prisoner for some time.^[14][15]

Hardy died in 1859 in Kansas Territory, United States and is buried in the Sutton Valley Cemetery in Greeley, Kansas.^[16]
