    On 31 March 1634 “John Hardy” was on a list of passengers sailing from Weymouth, co. Dorset, on the Recovery of London to New England. Based on this location the records of this family we recently discovered.

    The following records from the parish registers of Bridport, co. Dorset, are almost certainly for the immigrant’s family as they meet the criteria mentioned above.

    Bridport, co. Dorset, parish register, 1600-1639 (Dorset History Centre, PE-BT/RE/1/1) [“Dorset, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials, 1538-1812,” online database at www.ancestry.com, images 167 (Richard’s baptism), 189 (Joseph’s baptism), 198 (Elizabeth’s baptism), 165 and 261 (marriage), 281 (burial)].

    Note the will of “Elizabeth Harding dated 7 August 1654 gave to "Joseph Swasy" apparently a close relative.
