I am following John HARDESTY (b 1805 OH, d 1878 Porter, IN); spouse of Nancy (possibly RINGLE, b 1812, PA).
Following HARDESTY/KNAUFF child Isaac HARDESTY, co-locating with brother John in Porter, IN, I have the following, tantalizing clue:
Isaac HARDESTY was born in Columbiana County, Ohio, May 22, 1822, and is a son of William and Louisa (KNOUF) HARDESTY. His father was one of the pioneers of Eastern Ohio, a farmer, miller and merchant, and started the first mill in Carroll County, Ohio. He was of Huguenot extraction, his grandfather having been expelled from France for his religious opinions.
Mr. Hardesty is a man of original and independent thought, was well as extensive reading. He is a Republican, and has frequently addressed his community on important questions of government. He has been Township Trustee about fifteen years. He is also a Christian, though not connected with any church, and an earnest Sunday school worker.

Would appreciate anything on John HARDESTY, Porter County Commissioner 1855-1867, or anything regarding Huguenot connection.
