Hugh J. Hardie was born on August 11, 1843 in Scotland. He married Martha J. Orr on October 10, 1872 in Delaware County, Indiana. They are enumerated in Newton Township in Carroll County, Iowa in 1880. Martha apparently died between 1880 and 1883 since Hugh Hardie married Hannah Timmons on September 12, 1883 in Council Bluffs, Pottawatomie County, Iowa. In the 1885 Iowa State Census, Hugh and Hannah and family are living in Newton Township, Carroll County, Iowa in the West 1/2 of the SW 1/4 of Section 19, Township 82N, Range 34W in Carroll County. Census records then enumerate Hugh and Hannah in Melville, Audubon County, Iowa in future censuses.
Hugh J. Hardie died on July 9, 1924 and is buried in the Dedham Cemetery, Newton Township, Carroll County, Iowa. Hannah was born on September 27, 1846 and died April 26, 1917. She is also buried in the Dedham Cemetery. However, the 1920 census in Melville, Audubon County, lists Hugh as Divorced and living with his son, Elmer, by Hannah.
In the Troy Cemetery in Grant County, South Dakota, a Charles J. Hardie [1873 - June 31, 1935] and a William T. Hardie [1877 - July 21, 1946} are buried. From Census records, they are from Iowa.
I could not find a connection to Wright County other than the fact that some Orr families settled there. Hope this helps.
