Jonathan Hardy, before noticed, was the occupant of the lot of land lying northwest of that of Mr. Benson, and he occupied it till his death. Some years before that time he sold a part of it to his son, Mr. Jonathan Hardy, Jr., who removed to Winterport, and it was by him sold to Mr. James E. Parker, who is now the occupant. The remainder of the lot is the property of the sons of Silas L. Hardy. His second wife, a Miss Susan Jones, of Castine, after his death became the wife of Mr. Timothy Saunders. She had one daughter after her marriage with Mr. Hardy, who became the wife of Mr. John Hardy, and she died in the year 1854, on the voyage with her husband to Washington Territory. Her husband remained there some time, and afterward returned, sometimes residing here and sometimes in other places. page 172 An historical sketch of the town of Deer Isle, Maine, with notices of its settlers and early inhabitants by Hosmer, George Lawrence
