Have you checked Cornish records? I found one of our Nichols who married a Hardy there.

Subject: [MAESSEX] Children of Eldad HARDY, 1777-1857, of Bradford, MA
According to "A Hardy Family Tree" and "Hardy and Hardie" Eldad and
Susannah (Cheney) Hardy had four children in Grantham, NH. They are:
Amasa B., b. 15 Oct 1802
Orley, b. 3 Apr 1803
Lydia, b. 23 Feb 1805
Sally, b. 29 June 1808
Grantham has no record of these births. There is a complete record of
ten children being born to Tristram (Tristham) and Kezia (Fraser?)
Hardy. Those births span 1796 to 1816. Only one, Sally, has the same
name as any of Eldad's nine children. From the 1810 census, it is known
that Eldad, and family, had moved to Sempronius, NY by 1810.
From Grantham's VRs, we know that Sally, d. Tristram, married Joshua
Atwood, 20 Mar 1826. Eldad's daughter Sally married William Spencer, of
Sempronius, NY, 27 Sept 1835.
From footnotes in "Hardy and Hardie" it can be seen that the
information for Eldad's family came from Lynn Hardy, who compiled and
published "A Hardy Family Tree."
As the records seem to be rather conclusive that Tristram was in
Grantham during the appropriate time period, and there are no records of
any of Eldad's children being born there, "WHERE were they born?"
I have a call in to the Sempronius Town Clerk and will be checking
with the Groveland Town Clerk and the Groveland Congregational Church.
I'm not hopeful of getting anything from Groveland. Very few records
were missed when the early VRs of MA were published.
Thank you. :-)
