Hello Robert,

I am researching my Hardesty line from Queen Ann and Talbot County MD.  
I have been told that the familiy originally came from Del. but I have 
never confirmed that.

I haven't found any links on your ancestor lists but I wanted to be on 
record as a Hardesty follower.  My oldest name is a William Hardesty who 
married a Selah ?.  He was a minister and, I think, both he and his wife 
died in 1828.  They had two sons:  William Henry Hardesty [3 Apr 1817-9 
Mar 1888] and Edward Richard [?-ca 1885].  ER Hardesty was a farmer in 
Talbot County and his line is the one I am decended from.

ER Hardesty had two large families; one from a first marriage to Eliz. 
Layton and a second marriage to Sally Ann Warner.  Grandchildren form 
the first group lived in PA and included a Robert Hardesty [1874-1912] 
who is buried in Easton MD [FYI}.

Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated!!!
