1. Biographical notes:
Born 31 January 1833 in England. Died October
1870; murdered (thrown down mine shaft) by the Molly McGuires
(more info) because he was a member of the mine’s management
team; interred at Minersville, Pennsylvania.
Went to Washington, D.C. to enlist in the Union Army to participate in
the Civil War, but before he could enlist the War ended, so John started home. On the way he purchased a Boston rocker at
Minersville and carried it on his back to Mt. Pleasant.
As mentioned above, John was a supervisor (fire
boss) in the coal mines at Mt. Pleasant.
In that capacity it was his responsibility to inspect the mines every
Sunday before the next work week began, and also in that capacity he was hated
by the Irish laboring class who were employed by the mine owners (of English
ancestry), to accomplish the dirtiest, hardest, most dangerous, and lowest
paying jobs in the mines.
The Irish underclass was represented by a violently
militant, secretive organization called the Molly McGuires,
which was named after an Irish woman in England who had gained fame for
fighting in justice against her people.
During one such Sunday inspection by John Hardman he was murdered (pushed
down mine shaft) by members of the Molly McGuires. Riots and tensions between labor and
management ensued, and, thereafter, mine managers always went into the mines in
the company of other managers and security staff.
1860 US Census: No record found.
1870 US Census: John Hardman, age 37 (b. England)
and employed as a stationary engineer, was heading a household in Foster
Township (Glen Carbon Post Office), Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. His personal property was valued at
$300. The household also included his
wife, Ester Hardman, age 30 (b. England), who could not read or write;
daughter, Elizabeth Hardman, age 13 (b. PA); daughter, Sarah Hardman, age 10
(b. PA); daughter, Esther Hardman, age 8 (b. PA); daughter, Mary Hardman, age 6
(b. PA); and mother, Margaret Hardman, age 60 (b. England).
1880 US Census: Of possible interest [because Esther
and her daughters would have been about the same ages and because Esther
married (2nd) a man named Oats and resided at Pottsville, PA], a Diana Oats,
age 41 (b. PA; parents b. PA), widowed, and keeping house, was heading a
household at Pottsville, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. The household also included her daughter,
Estella Oats, age 10 (b. PA; parents b. PA); daughter, Laura Oats, age 6 (b.
PA; parents b. PA); and daughter, Lizzie Llulym?, age 24 (b. PA; parents b. PA), married, and "at
home."
2. Wife: Esther Ormes/Orme (photos) (more

|
Born 14 October 1840 at
Manchester, England. Died 19/18 July 1895 at Frackville,
Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania; interred there in the Odd Fellows
Cemetery. Daughter of John
(b. 8 October 1812 in Manchester?, England) and Elizabeth “Betty” “Black Bess” (?) Ormes/Orme (b. 20 Jan 1812 in England, d. 1855 from cholera;
interred at sea). Of interest, John and
Elizabeth Ormes/Orme also
had a son, James Ormes/Orme
(b. 19 Sep 1832, d. 21 Feb 1870) and a daughter, Elizabeth Ormes/Orme (b. 14 Jul 1852).
Esther immigrated to the US with her parents at age 14 (about
1855). She kept house for her father at
(1st) Shenandoah, then Mt. Pleasant, Pennsylvania.
On 10 September 1856 Esther married (1st)
John Hardman as he was about to depart for Washington, D. C. to enlist in the
Union Army. This marriage apparently did
not please her father, because when Esther returned to her father’s home after
the marriage, he told her to get her things and leave (“she’d made her bed,
etc.”). Perhaps this was due in no small
measure to John Hardman’s affiliation with mine management, which John Ormes/Orme and other miners
hated.
As mentioned above, John Hardman returned from
Washington much sooner than expected. He
and Esther settled in Mt. Pleasant and had the following children: (order
uncertain)
