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.
Baptisms
28 October 1613 Richard the sonne of John Hardie
5 September 1619 Josephe the sonne of John Hardie
25 November 1621 Elyzabeth the daughter of John Hardie
Marriage
11 January 1612/3 John Hardie and Elizabeth Swasye
Burial

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.
