General Notes: Husband - Capt. Thomas Bard


He was for many years a prominent citizen of Peters township, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. He was a farmer, and for thirty years of his life lived on a part of the old Bard homestead, occupying the old stone mansion built by his father.
In 1814 he formed a company of volunteers among his neighbors, which formed part of the regiment under command of Col. John Findlay, and marched to the defense of Baltimore against the threatened attack of the British in 1814. Captain Bard subsequently removed to Washington County, Maryland. After his return to Franklin County he was elected a member of the Pennsylvania Legislature, 1822-23.
