Notes
on the HARDY FAMILY : The Hardy, Hardie, Hardey or Hardee family, as they variously spelt the
name, were among the landed gentry of England in the early eleventh century, and
are descended from the Norman Knight, De Hardie.
There have been Naval Officers of the name without number, but the name
is rarely found in the Army list of England.
There are several portraits of this distinguished family in the Greenwich
Navel Art Gallery.

2. George Hardy (Richard, John, Michael, John, John, Richard, John) was born 1610 in Wetwang, East Riding, Yorkshire, England, and died October 7, 1675 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. He married Alice Bennett Johnson, daughter of Thomas Johnson and Alice Bennett.
Notes for GEORGE HARDY:
The first authentic record that we find of this family in Virginia, is of
George Hardy, the brother of John Hardy, who came to the Colony
prior to 1636, at which date he is spoken of as a "Shipwright."
In 1644 George Hardy patented 300 acres, and in 1648 500 acres, situated upon
Lawne's Creek, in Isle of Wight Co. He
was the owner of the famous Hardy Mill, which was owned by the family for
generations. He served as a member
of the House of Burgesses from 1641-52. He
was a liberal supporter of the Established Church. He made a will March 16, 1654, which was probated
on April 14, 1655; he names
his loving wife, to whom he leaves all of his land, housing, etc., and after her
death to be divided between his kinsmen, George Hardy, II, Christian Wilson and
Thomas Hardy; so he evidently left no issue.
