"Hardy Family:

The Hardy family is another one where a questionable connection between the old world and Virginia Hardys has been suggested and widely published in a genealogical work. John Hardy is supposed to be a son of a John Noble Worthington Hardy of England. John of Virginia’s wife is stated to be Charity O’Dwyer whose parents migrated to Maryland and Westmoreland County, Virginia. This relationship is still possible but there appears to be no direct proof of that theory linking John Noble to John Hardy of Virginia.

John Hardy was probably born in England and married Charity --- before coming to the New World. He first showed up in the North Carolina records in 1695 when he petitioned the court for 350 acres of land (possibly Map B Number 9), 50 acres each for himself, his wife, and his five children. He was very active in community affairs: Sheriff in Chowan County in 1711, signer of petition raising money for protection against the Indians, and vestryman for the parish located in Edenton which had only been started about three years earlier about 1714. He also did a stint as a justice of the Chowan County Court about 1718. He died about 1723. His daughter Mary married John Hinton. "
