A friendly WARNING to all - DO NOT global search out and replace any state or country abbrevations for Places ie IN, IL, Scot Eng.
etc. as no matter if caps or small case the correction you type in for IN such as Indiana will be entered into any word that
has an "in" in it!. This is why we come up with the garbled places in GedCom files.
After all these years I decided to enter this into "Personal Ancestor File" - I took my two Hardesty lines; and the Emery-Ashcraft
lines out of my own personal data files - then used them as a basis to enter the manuscript.
This English data base - contains 2085 people, descendants, spouses and the spouses parents names if known - not all are
in as yet. This has the English ancestors as well as the descendants of Francis Hardesty and his wives Ruth Morely and
Dorcas Linthicum; Francis came to America sometime prior to 13 Jan. 1703.
Another branch that has much work done on it is that of Edmund Hardesty (Robert, Francis...) and has been accounted in: EDMUND HARDESTY
DESCENDANTS From the Book: HARDESTY GENEALOGY 1600-1985 Library of Congress Catalog No. 77-670086 and 85-70971 Compiled by: Hamilton
and Ina Cross Gladys Dietz Eva Stroh Printed by: (1st Printing) The Republican-Reporter Corp. Oregon, Illinois 61061 (Revised
printing) The Anundsen Publishing Co. 108 Washington Street Decorah, Iowa 52101." He is the brother of Thomas Hardesty married Nancy Ann
Chaney and their descndants are accounted for in the website
here.
This is the work of many people over the years - Irene Fithen, June Smith, and John Dean "Jack" Hardesty descendants of Thomas and
Nancy Ann (Chaney) Hardesty. Irene and June are the ones who shared the early England line with me first. Their is also a
Hardisty cousin in England working on this branch.
Jack Hardesty - has it on the internet too He is in Quincy, Ill. His site is
here. Also Alan Hardisty of England has a
site - it is
here.
