15. Thomas3 Hardy (George2, Thomas1), known locally as "Big Tom," was born ca. 1830 at Little York. He lived and farmed at Little York, where he leased land in 1857. In 1861 he had 70 acres, of which 50 were cultivated. His principal crops were potatoes and oats, and he owned two horses, five cattle, eight sheep and a hog. He also produced some 40 pounds of clover seed in 1861, a somewhat unusual activity at Little York at this time. He was a Methodist and vital records on his family are found in the circuit book kept at the Cornwall Methodist (now United) Church. In 1877, Thomas Hardy left Prince Edward Island and moved "out West." He eventually settled at Vancouver, BC, where he died in 1906.
Thomas Hardy married Ellen Ferguson, 19 February 1857. According to the 1861 census she was a native Prince Edward Islander and a Methodist.

Elizabeth Hardy married Robert Ince, 12 May 1865. He was born ca. 1833 on PEI and was of Scots-Irish ancestry. The announcement of his wedding (The Patriot, 10 June 1865) listed Robert Ince as clerk of the small debts court at De Sable, Lot 29, and he farmed at De Sable. He probably was a son of Joseph and Mary Ann Ince, who arrived on Prince Edward Island from Ireland ca. 1824. He died 3 March 1908, æ. 75 years, and is buried at Crapaud.
children:
i. Joseph A. Ince, b. ca. 1866.
ii. Hammond L. Ince, b. ca. 1868.
iii. Walter Ince, b. ca. 1871.
iv. Frederick M. Ince, b. ca. 1873, m. Mary C. Murray.

17. Mary Ann4 Hardy (Charles3, Thomas2, Thomas1) was born 11 January 1842 at Little York, even though in the 1881 census of Lot 29 she is listed as being 34 years old. She died 4 February 1919 and is buried in the People's Cemetery, Crapaud, Lot 29.
Mary Ann Hardy married Thomas Ince, 4 February 1864 (The Examiner, 15 Feb. 1864). Thomas was from De Sable, Lot 29. He appears in the 1881 census living at De Sable, a farmer having 48 years of age. According to family tradition he and his brother Robert both met their respective future wives on a muddy spring day at Little York. The Hardy girls were trying to cross the road, and the Ince brothers appeared and carried them over the muddy road -- an encounter that began a relationship that led to marriage. He died 26 July 1917, æ. 87 years, and is buried at Crapaud.
children:
i. Mary Ellen Ince, b. ca. 1865, d. 6 Nov. 1938, never married.
ii. Emeline Ince, b. ca. 1867, m. Albert L. Card, d. 28 Sept. 1890.
iii. Joseph Ince, b. ca. 1869.
iv. Charles H. Ince, b. ca. 1871.
18. Charles W.4 Hardy (Charles3, Thomas2, Thomas1) was born 19 June 1845 at Little York and baptized 18 July 1845 at Grace Methodist Church, Charlottetown, by the Rev. J. B. Strong. He was known locally as "Chal" to distinguish him from his father. His father died while he was a young child and he was raised by his mother and step-father at Little York. He farmed at Little York until the 1880s, at which time he became too ill for strenuous labor. He sold his leasehold to Richard Vessey, husband of his cousin Margaret Hardy, and took his family to Charlottetown where they ran a boarding house. Charles Hardy died 20 February 1892 at Charlottetown. He is buried at the Methodist (now United) Church at Little York.
Charles Hardy married Elizabeth Mae MacMillan on 5 September 1871, according to the civil registration made some 18 months after the event. Elizabeth was born 4 February 1847 at Covehead, Lot 34, the daughter of Angus MacMillan (1818-1905) and Sarah (or Sally) Leitch, his first cousin. Elizabeth was also the granddaughter of Lauchlin MacMillan (1749-1833) and Sarah MacPherson (1755-1856), who emigrated from Scotland to Prince Edward Island on the brig Rambler in 1804. Elizabeth did not remarry after her husband's death and continued to run the boarding house at Charlottetown until ca. 1916, when her youngest child had grown to maturity. She left Charlottetown and went to live with an unmarried son, Frank Hardy, who had moved to New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, where he farmed. She died 11 October 1932, allegedly at New Glasgow, but the Nova Scotia civil death records do not support this claim by the family. She was buried 13 October 1932 at Little York, which suggests she may have died there.

Jane Hardy married(1) Thomas D. Vessey, 27 December 1871 at Little York. He died 30 December 1872, æ. 29 years, and is buried at Little York. There does not appear to have been issue from this marriage.
Jane Hardy married(2) Warren Hood, 26 October 1874. He was born ca. 1850 in England, the son of Robert Hood and Phoebe Symonds. At the time of his marriage he was a tinsmith and stove dealer living at Victoria, Lot 29. In the spring of 1883, he went west looking for land upon which his family could homestead. He first went to Glenboro, Manitoba, where a brother in law lived, but free homesteading land there was all taken up. He then moved further west, in the company of his brother in law, Frederick Hardy, until both reached Grenfell on 24 May 1883, arriving on the construction train. He acquired a homestead and returned to Prince Edward Island to collect his family. They returned to Grenfell in the autumn of 1883. Warren Hood took up homestead 12-18-8-W2, which he farmed. He also operated a tinsmith business for a while in the town of Grenfell, but had to give this up and move back to his land to maintain rights to his homestead farm. He was a member of the Methodist Church. He died at Grenfell in 1929.

22. Frederick4 Hardy (Henry3, Thomas2, Thomas1) was born 27 December 1846 at Little York and baptized 10 October 1847 at Grace Methodist Church, Charlottetown. He lived at Little York where he farmed. A sketch of his farm home at Little York can be found on page 38 of the 1880 Meacham Atlas. In the spring of 1883 he and his brother in law, Warren Hood, went west to Manitoba. They could not procure land at Glenboro, their original destination, so they journeyed further west, arriving at Grenfell, Saskatchewan, on 24 May 1883. There was a celebration in progress; they liked what they saw and decided to file for homesteads. Fred located on 34-1-8-W2, some 15 kilometers NW of Grenfell. He located here because this land bordered a marsh (a source of water) and was 15 km. from the Qu'Appelle Valley where fuel could be had. The two men built a sod duplex on their land at Grenfell, returned to Prince Edward Island for their families, and returned to Grenfell in mid-October 1883 after having their children all baptized at the York Methodist Church on 6 October 1883. They were able to travel by train as by then the railroad had been built west past Moose Jaw. In the spring of 1884, the family shared a house with Mr. Aggett until their own house could be built on his homestead. The North West Rebellion broke out in 1885, so Fred and his son, Rowan, then 12 years old, went "on transport" with two teams. The family overcame disasters such as prairie fires, drought and frost, and were able to procure more land and live comfortably. Fred died 4 March 1899 of what was described as "inflammation of the bowel," probably a ruptured appendix. He is buried at Grenfell.
Frederick Hardy married Alice Ayers, 30 December 1871 at the Union Road Presbyterian Manse by Rev. J. Duncan (Patriot, 6 Jan. 1872). She was born 13 July 1851 at Union Road, Lot 33, the daughter of Josiah Ayers and Mary Rundle, and died 4 January 1940, buried at Grenfell.
