They first show up as a family in the 1880 Federal Census ( recorded: June 15, 1880 ) residing in a home at 1007 West 8th Street, Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware.   John ( 3 ) was noted as being a 26 year old " Brick Mason " and " Mary " was noted as a 27 year old homemaker raising their first child John ~ ( age 1 ) .   Also residing with them was " Mary's " 60 year old widowed mother Elizabeth Everson McDowell.

      Sadly, most of the " 1890 census " materials were destroyed in a 1921 fire and none of the information for the State's of New Jersey, Maryland or Delaware survived the fire.

      In the 1900 Federal Census ( recorded: June 4, 1900 ) they are residing in a rented home at 1017 Kirkwood Street also in Wilmington, Delaware.   John ( 3 ) was noted as being a 47 year old " Brick Mason " and " Mary " was noted as a 49 year old homemaker.   All " 3 " of their children are residing with them:  John ( age 21 ~ noted as a Laborer ) ~ Ada ( age 18 ~ noted as a Dress Maker ) and Joseph ( age 16 ~ noted as a Laborer ) ~ .

      John ( 3 ) preceded his wife in passed on February 19, 1901 at about the age of 47 years and it's currently unknown where he was interred.   " Mary " was remarried after his passing to a Mr. Wilson.  It is also unknown where she was interred.  They had 3 known children:

      " Eliza Rebecca Yost " had been been previously married and was a widow with " 3 " children when she married William ( 4 ).   In the 1900 Federal Census ( recorded: June 4, 1900 ) she is noted as having had " 10 " children with only " 7 " surviving.

      At the time of the 1900 census " Eliza " had " 4 " known children with William ( 4 ) that were surviving and also her widowed daughter " Lillie M. Collins " ( age 20 ~ b. ca. 1880 ) was residing with them in 1900.   Which would mean she had " 2 " other children that would be Lillie's siblings that are currently unknown.   So the " 3 " children that didn't survive that " Eliza " had were more than likely " Hardy " children based on time and the noted births of the " 4 " oldest " Hardy " children shown below.

      Sadly, most of the " 1890 census " materials were destroyed in a 1921 fire, " which might have helped clear the above up ", and none of the information for the State's of New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania or Delaware survived the fire.

Joseph T. Hardy's Obituary

      John Reed Nicholson Hardy ( 29 ) was born the 5th child and 3rd and last son of Robert H. Hardy ( 7 ) and Ella David Hardy on January 4, 1900 on his parent's farm, known as the Logan Farm, near Kitts Hummock, Delaware.   He was married three times.

      He first married " Pearle Emma Case " on December 4, 1920 in Wyoming, Delaware.   She was born the daughter of Edward and Emma Salisbury Case on March 11, 1905 in Murderkill Hundreds, Delaware.   They had " 7 " children together and were later divorced.

Family Note:  When I talked with Mary Hardy Emery ( 30 ), John's ( 29 ) sister, she noted to me that " Pearle " stated to her that her first name was indeed spelled with an " e " on the end of it but that few folks knew it and it bothered her.   So Mary ( 30 ) said she always made sure when sending her cards that she put the " e " on the end of her name.

      Sadness struck the young family when on December 12, 1928 their son Robert ( 51 ) was born but only lived for a few hours due to birth complications.   There are two family stories concerning where he was interred.

      One story notes he was interred on his Grandparent's farm noted as the Logan Farm near Kitt's Hummock.   This first story " possibly " seems to be not true since his granddad Robert ( 7 ) had passed away 6 years earlier and his grandmother " Ella Hardy " left the farm soon after her husband's passing.   The other story, according to his sister Mary ( 30 ), notes that Robert ( 51 ) was interred either with his granddad Robert ( 7 ) or in his grandmother " Ella's " plot that was next to her husbands at the Lakeside Cemetery, Dover, Delaware.   It's unknown which is true ....

      They first show up as a family in the 1930 Federal Census ( recorded: April 8, 1930 ) residing in a home they were renting on Main Street, Little Creek, Kent County, Delaware.   John ( 29 ) was noted as being a 30 year old " Waterman " working on a " Oyster boat " and " Pearle " was noted as a 26 year old homemaker raising their " 6 " children:  Catherine ( age 8 ) ~ John ( age 7 ) ~ Edward ( age 6 ) ~ Kenneth ( age 5 ) ~ Jane ( age 4 ) and Mary ( age 2 ) .

      " Pearle " was pregnant with her son Wilson ( 52 ) at the time of the 1930 census and he was born 20 days later on April 28, 1930.   However sadness would once again grip the family as Wilson ( 52 ) passed away 24 days later on May 22, 1930.   Wilson ( 52 ) is known to be interred in the Lakeside Cemetery, Dover, Delaware as it's noted on his death certificate ... but in which plot is currently unclear.

      Soon after the 1930 Federal Census John ( 29 ) and " Pearle " were divorced.   Together they had " 8 " children.   " Pearle " was remarried to " Albert William Marker ", a widower, in December, 1934 in Elkton, Maryland.   " Albert " was born on July 3, 1903 the son of Isaac Manship and Anna West Marker.   After their marriage they resided in the Dover, Delaware area.

      John ( 29 ) and " Pearle's " children were, at this time, turned over to the Children's Home in Wilmington by " Pearle ".   The oldest child, " Catherine " ( 46 ), however was taken in and raised by " Pearle's " sister Maude Case Knight and her husband Edward Knight.   Later, the other " 5 " Hardy children were soon moved to the Murphy Home in Dover, Delaware.

      After their divorce " Pearle " was remarried to " Albert W. Marker " and they resided in the Dover, Delaware area after their marriage.   Her children were, at this time, turned over to the Children's Home in Wilmington by " Pearle ".   The oldest child, " Catherine " ( 46 ), however was taken in by " Pearle's " sister Maude Case Knight and her husband Edward Knight.   Later, the other " 5 " Hardy children were moved to the Murphy Home in Dover.

      John ( 29 ), for whom a 1940 census has not been found, after their divorce moved to Wilmington, Delaware with a lady named " Ella Brown " who worked as a waitress.   " Ella " was, shortly after their relationship started, killed when she was struck by a car.

      John ( 29 ) was married second to " Eleanor Pettyjohn " on December 25, 1944 in Wilmington, Delaware.   " Eleanor Pettyjohn " was born the daughter of Linford and Frances Pettyjohn on January 5, 1920 in Lewes, Delaware.   They were soon divorced and didn't have any children together.

      John ( 29 ) later met and married " Helen ' Eloise ' McElroy " who was born in Alabama on April 2, 1927.   They lived in Atlantic City, New Jersey for a few years where " 3 " of their children were born.   While residing in Atlantic City John ( 29 ) worked on ships in the Delaware Bay and in the ocean off of Atlantic City.   They later moved to Florida and eventially lived in Hialeah, Florida where John ( 29 ) once again worked as a " Waterman ".

      John ( 29 ), during World War II, served as a Merchant Marine which can be seen on his marriage license to " Eleanor Pettyjohn ".

      John ( 29 ) preceded his wife in passed away in Hialeah, Florida on September 28, 1974 at 2:30 pm in the Hialeah Hospital of Heart Failure.   He was interred in the Vista Memorial Gardens in Dade County, Florida on October 1, 1974.   His first wife " Pearle " passed away on November 4, 1943 and was interred in the Odd Fellows Cemetery, Camden, Delaware.   At last report " Eloise " was still residing in Hialeah, Florida.  John ( 29 ) had " 8 " children with " Pearle " and " 5 " with " Eloise ".
