Robert Hardie 1638

Robert Hardie (1638 - ?)

Robert Hardie was born in about 1638.  No parents have been identified for Robert, however there is a Robert Hardie christened on 29 May 1643 Pittenweem, Fife, Scotland. His parents are Robert Hardie and Marion Robertson(e) and there is two identified siblings - Janet christened on 14 Sep 1645 in St. Andrews And St. Leonards, Fife and James baptised 1 Dec 1650 in Pittenweem, Fife.

These dates are consistent with our Robert, and Fife is close to Clackmannan, so there is a possibility that this is a continuation of the ancestoral line.

• David Hardie - born abt 1663.
• John Hardie - born 1665.
