Hardys or Hardie of Aberdeenshire

[margrace]

Hi I am looking for information on my great great grandfather. He was born around 1762 in Aberdeenshire according to his tombstone. He came to Canada with his brother George and went to the Ottawa Area. Later he was a foreman when they built Fort Henry in Kingston On. Canada. Prior to that he must have been in the army. He recieved a land grant in Halton County ON as a retired soldier.

His brother George was a watchmaker and we think he went to the US. Can anyone help me to locate information on any of these two people.

My grandfather's name was Andrew Hardy and he married Janet Douglas in Canada. She was evidently about 33 years younger than him. I think she came from the same area. I know nothing about her at all.
