Lois, I wish there were a connection because this line has been very frustrating for me. I too, have looked with interest in names that have Hard(r)ick in them . It is not a common name and I wonder at one time if it was a surname. The Hardrick name appears three times as a middle name in my Perkins line. Unfortunately none of your William Hadick information looked familiar. The line for my William Hardrick Perkins is: 1 John S. Perkins 1833-1909 m. Mary Ellen Kyle 2 William Hardrick Perkins 1861-1933 m. Emma Florence Carley 3 Walter Everett Perkins 1885-1956 m. Nelle Gertrude Callarman 4 Glenn Hardrick Perkins 1912-1979 m. Myrtle Elizabeth Reider Thanks for your interest Lois. Can anyone else helps us with this unusual name, or connect with our Perkins? Marie
