General Notes: Husband - Archibald Bard
He was a prominent citizen of Peters township, and for twenty-one years was an Associate Judge of Franklin County, Pennsylvania. He held this office continuously from his first appointment, April 2, 1811, until his death. After he had been on the Bench six years Judge Bard was ambitious to succeed Gen. John Rea in Congress, according to a letter printed in the Philadelphia Aurora, May 28, 1817. "It may be proper here to mention," says the writer, "that we have in this county, as well as some others, that kind of aristocracy which is called family interest, in which the public is sacrificed to family combinations. This county is divided into several connexions of this kind, instead of parties. These are the Reas, the Maclays, the Bards, the Findlays, and several others, none of them powerful enough alone, others not of sufficient consequence to be noticed. In the first instance General Rea went to Congress, but Judge Bard began to think that he would look quite as well there as the General. At one of their delegate meetings Bard was brought forward by General Waddle, but our delegates and those from Bedford would not consent to it, so he fell through, and seeing his connexions were too weak of themselves, he formed a league with the Maclays and finally ousted Rea; ludicrous to tell, William Maclay was taken up instead of Bard, and he is still obliged to stick to the judgeship."
Judge Bard was concerned in the settlement of many estates, and was held in much esteem by his neighbors as an adviser. He came to Chambersburg to a meeting of the return judges on the 12th of October, the day of the cholera outbreak of 1832, took the infection and was one of the victims of the epidemic.
