Hi:
ReplyDeleteWilliam Harde couldn't have died at age of 50 in 1718 and come as an indentured servant in 1669. He would have been 1 in 1669.

Oops! Thank you, the William Hardy who came as an indentured servant in 1669 must have been his father William who was born about 1645 in England. Sorry about that, I must be more careful. Corrections and questions are always welcome, I hope to someday get it right.

The data posted on worldconnect.rootsweb, db=dworland, id=1583 shows in the Ahnentafel, Generation 4 "William Hardy was born 1645 in England. He was the son of Michael de Hardy". The Ahnentafel Generation 5 shows "Michael de Hardy was born 1530 ... and died 17 Jan 1618 ...". 1645 - 1530 = 115 years!! Several generations must be missing. Do you have any information on them?
