Hardy Name Study

My Maternal Grandmother was Isabella Sarah Hardy , and her father's ancestry is back into County Durham and Northumberland, England. Her grandfather Robert Hardy arrived with his family in New South Wales on 7 January 1827.

I'd like to add my Hardy line to the Hardy one name study!

Is this project just for American Hardys? I have traced my English ones, who were in London from 1730. They were playing card makers who operated in the City of London. I have extensive records of them if anyone is interested, and they are entered on Wikitree - see Samuel Hardy and his wife Abigal Cowdell who married in 1730 in Holborn.

Ruby Tisdale Hardy, My mothers, mother, was born in Victoria, Lunenburg County, Virginia! ( 1896-1977). She passed in Norfolk, Virginia.

Thomas Hogan Hardy Jr. is my great great grandfather. His son Thomas Newton Hardy married Jesse Sisk. Their daughter Lucille Mary married Buford Webster Martin.

Hello Dean! It is so good to hear from you and that your wife is a Hardy and her family came to TX from GA! My 1st cousin 2 times removed was Jesse Alexander Hardy (1886/Jackson Co., GA---1945/Fort Worth, TX) was the Hardy from my family line that came to Texas. He was the son of my Great Grand Uncle, Charles Ferdinand Hardy, Jr (1851-1910); whose father was my 2nd Great Grandfather Charles Ferdinand Hardy, Sr (1808-1887); whose father was Charles H. Hardy (1781-1845). I wonder if your wife is descended from this Hardy line. I have lived in Fort Worth since 1989, when I came to teach on the voice faculty in the School of Church Music at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and retired in June 2018. Do you and your wife and family live in Texas? I discovered that I have a 3rd cousin, William David Hardy, Jr.,who was born in Fort Worth (1966) but presently lives in Austin. Jesse Alexander Hardy was his grandfather and father of his father William David Hardy, Sr. (1920-1982).

My Hardy's came to Australia from Osmington, Dorset, as did a lot of my ancestors

Hello, My name is Angela Faith Cofer (b. 1951, Augusta, GA). My mother was Mary Julia Hardy Cofer (1918-2016) who was the fifth child of Albert Sidney Hardy Sr. (1884-1944) and Mary Jane Williamson (1882-1964). I have only been able to trace my mother's father's side as far back as Charles H. Hardy who was born in Lancaster, PA about 1781 and died in Jackson Co., GA about 1845. He was married to Susan Slee Ferguson (Furguson). If anyone has information on this line in the Hardy family, please contact me. Thanks so much!
