It's not clear if Ann Byrd Hardy and Rebeccah Hardy are the same person. More research is needed.

John Hardy II was granted land in Chowan Precinct in 1716 by the Lord Proprietors (Land Grand Records Office, secretary of State for North Carolina).

In a deed dated 28 Oct. 1717, John Hardy with the consent of his wife Rebecca deeded 270 acres to William Hardy "for love and affection that I bear my brother."
