Hi Mike,
There are very few Hardy researchers on the list, so I'm glad to see you
joining in on the discussion.

I too thought that George Hardy 3rd that worked for Edward Trafford could be
George Hardy, Jr married to Lucy Dent. If you work out the birth dates of
all the George's he was born 3rd.

Your right, if indeed there was a Sarah Hanson bapt in 1753 she would not
have married a man born in 1720.

I don't have any record books for VA, loads of MD books, no VA. I cannot
help out there, maybe SKS that does have books on VA will check the books
for any records regarding Hardys in Loudoun Co., VA starting ca 1752 on, and
post them to the list, that would be a great help.


Thanks for you input,
Shirley Middleton Moller
