The 1810 census has a John Hardy in NY, NY, Ward 2, aged 45+. This may be the same John Hardie, age 88, living with Abram Hardie in Hudson, NY, in 1840. In the 1870 census, this Abram was listed as a house carpenter. These are the only two out of a total of six census listings which have John being born before1776. John, George and Daniel Hardie were also found in the 1840 census records for Hudson, NY. Daniel (70/79) is from an earlier generation than George, Abram and the younger John.
