Irene wrote in 1986: "I grew up in Detroit, Michigan. I worked for several years as a secretary and office manager, then married in 1945 to a man from Kansas whom I met at the USO! When World War II ended we were in Newfoundland where our oldest daughter had been born, then returned to Kansas to re-enter civilian life. My husband found work with the Federal gov't connected with the helium extraction industry. We moved to the Navajo Indian Reservation at Shiprock, New Mexico. Our daughter attended public school there, a minority among Indian students. I went to work at the local Indian Hospital, beginning a 23 year federal career with the Public Health Service and later with the the Enviornmental Protection Agency. When my husband retired on disability in 1958, we moved to Farmington, New Mexico. I became the administrative head of a small public service research project. By 1964 we were in Rockville, Maryland. I retired early in 1974 in order to accept a job with the local Presbytery. For the next 8 years I promoted equality for women in the church and also was responsible for starting 12 new churches. Several of the new congregations are Korean. The chance to work closely with many fine Korean people is a gift I will always treasure. I am an elder in the Presbyterian church, active now in women's groups at the local church. In 1982 I retired from my professional relationship with the church. My education includes a bachelors degree from the University of Maryland in behavioral science and I am presently engaged in a masters program in General Administration." Irene was survived by her three children, Margaret Louise (Hardman-MUYE), Anne Elizabeth Hardman, and Thomas James Hardman (Jr), from her marriage to Thomas J. Hardman.

Thomas and Irene's son, Thomas, wrote: "Mom's health was really quite good in most ways throughout her long life. However, in her mid-80s she began to increasingly suffer from congestive heart failure, and eventually had to go to hospital and then to residential care in the summer of 2011. She passed from this world September 15, 2011. Her memorial services were held in St Matthew's Presbyterian Church in Aspen Hill, Maryland, and these services were very well attended from both within and without the community of this church where she had long been an Elder. In particular, it was very good to see so many of her co-workers from her Federal career come to pay their respects. One gentleman said "she made the place run. I don't know how we could have done it without her". Her eulogy from her pastor dwelt long on Mom's contribution to Women in Presbytery, noting that women clergy were almost non-existent when Mom began her work and that by the time of Mom's passing, about half of Presbyterian clergy were women.

"Mom was absolutely devoted to her yard, as much so as with anything else she claimed as her own. When we moved into our home in Aspen Hill in 1963, the house was nearly new and almost without landscaping or ornament. By the time she passed, our azaleas were the subject of much admiration and envy, the lawn was immaculate, the trees have restored a natural-seeming canopy and in all green seasons the flowers are everywhere. After spending almost all of her spare time in the gardens during her life in Aspen Hill, her remains will in part spend the rest of eternity there as this is where I scattered her ashes to rejoin the earth on which she lavished such care."

INDEX

[37633]

Thomas is from the unverified Norman Petts tree in Ancestry.com in 2014 which titles him "Doctor".

A note with this tree offers:

William and Martha's second son was born in 1666. His birth is not recorded but this date is probably correct as he was reported to be 91 years old when he died in 1757.

Facts about his life and family have been much harder to obtain than those of his brothers, John and William. Everything that we do know seems to show that he was quite different from his brothers. In only one instance was he mentioned as associated with the church, while his brothers were active as leaders and Deacons in the various congregations.

It may be he was more like his carefree Irish father than his Puritan mother. Strangely it was in Thomas' home that Martha spent her declining years and where she died.

Little is known about his early life except for one brief mention. On August 26, 1696, Bartholomew Gedney, Commander in Chief of the militia in York, Maine, sent to a Captain Hill, 21 men to relieve some of his forces and among those listed was Tho,Durgy ... Thomas must have been an active member of the local militia and thus been called upon to defend the settlements in Maine.

Thomas appears to be the first of his family to investigate the new land opening in Connecticut. In July of 1713 he purchased a parcel of land in Windham from Thomas Bingham. It was described as Meeting House Hill and consisted of 100 acres. In September of 1713 they sold a parcel of land and not long after he and his family removed to Windham. They were followed shortly after by his brothers John and William and their families.

Thomas and his second wife moved to Pomfret and in 1742 he removed to Woodbury where he lived until his death. Thomas died in Woodbury in the spring of 1757 at the age of 91. No gravestones have been found for either Thomas or Rebecca although they must have been buried in Woodbury.
