John Hais Hardee Jr. (March 26, 1769 – November 1, 1838) was a major in the United States Army during the War of 1812.[1]
Early life and career[edit]
Hardee was born on March 26, 1769, on the family's Rural Felicity Plantation in Camden County, Province of Georgia, to John Hais Hardee (also a major) and either Caroline T. Aldrich (his father's first wife) or Elizabeth Burney (his second wife).[2] His paternal great-great-grandparents, Anthony Hardee and Evelyn Dulverton, were natives of Devon, England.[3]
In 1789, he married Jane Elizabeth Cone, of Anson County, North Carolina. They had two children before divorcing. Hardee re-married, in 1797, to Sarah Nancy Ellis,[4] with whom he had nine children, including Noble Hardee (born 1805) and William J. Hardee (1815).
Death[edit]
Hardee died on November 1, 1838, aged 69.[5] He fell ill during a visit to Brunswick, Georgia, where he was picking up supplies for the plantation house at Rural Felicity. He had to be carried from his boat and laid on his bed, "which he did not leave until he was carried to the family burying ground."[6] His grandchildren Charles Seton Henry Hardee and his brother, John, were visiting at the time from Savannah, Georgia.[7] He was interred in the family's Hull Cemetery at the plantation.
His widow survived him by a decade. She died aged 74.[6]
