John Bratcher |
According to the county records, Robert
Hardy purchased of John Bratcher in 1803 five hundred eighty-two acres of land in the big
bend of Staunton River, where the station and village of Hardy are now located. This
land he laid off in lots for the establishment of a town, and in 1818 he sold a number of
them to different people, the deeds to which describe them as being in the town of
Hardyville. Mr. Hardy died in 1830, and after his death a warehouse was built close
to the river, but the boat trade which was to build up the town failed to materialize and
the lots went back to farm land. The Virginian Railway crosses the road from Roanoke
to Franklin Count near Hardy's Ford and this gave the name to the railroad station. |
