# Name: Robert HARDY 1
# Sex: M
# Birth: 1799 in Edgefield District, South Carolina

# Note:
Robert Hardy and his wife Nancy Peebles Browning both came to Montgomery Co AL where they met and married in 1823. Nancy came with her parents in a wagon from Greene Co GA.
Robert´s cousin Susannah Hardy Crenshaw and her husband Stephen Crenshaw, related to the Charles Crenshaw(also Greenshaw) family, were born in the Tyger River area and went to Alabama with Robert Hardy about 1817 where they both bought property. I think Stephen was the son of Charles.
By 1818 Robert was paying taxes on land in Montgomery Co.- later became part of Lowndes County near Hayneville. Stephen was a surveyor and a Revolutionary soldier, with a large family, stores and stock, etc., and moved from Edgefield District, S.C.. He entered the land known today as Lowndes County, Hayneville, cutting the roads and bridges as they moved. Like Robert, he may have also still owned land in SC. Robert Hardy took Nancy back to his plantation in Edgefield SC where she gave birth to John B. Hardy in 1825. In 1828 Robert and Nancy sold land in Edgefield. See below. They probably lived a long distance marriage with slaves helping them in both Alabama and in Edgefield. Nancy probably stayed in SC where she had the luxury of a home and Robert spent time clearing land and building in Loundesboro. According to OUR FATHERS FIELDS, the Hardys worked side by side with their slaves in those early generations.
