Subject: [ROOTS-L] origin of Hardesty

I recently attended a Hardesty reunion and a cousin asked me if I knew the origin of the name.  I told him I was pretty certain that Hardesty was Scottish.  Another cousin once told me that it was Scottish but that he could trace it back even further; I forget where.  Does anyone know the origin of the surname Hardesty?  Thanks.
   
                                                                    
                                                                                      Don Stump
