Edmond Hardesty, the son of Robert and Elizabeth Hardesty/Hardisty was born in South River Parish, Anne Arundel County, Maryland in 1766. By 1776, the family had relocated to St. John's Parish, Prince George's County, Maryland, according to the early census records.

Edmond first married Elizabeth Burris in Maryland in 1788. They had two children before her death, Harriet and Thomas Hardesty.

Edmond then married Ruth Faith Chaney/Cheney in Anne Arundel County, Maryland on December 22, 1792. They had seven children. Nancy, John, Elizabeth and Sophia were born in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. The family relocated to Coshocton County, Ohio in 1811. Rachel was born in Bethlehem Township, and Daniel and Amy were both born in Washington Township.

Edmond's wife, Ruth, died January 1, 1855, and was buried at Chalfant Cemetery, Coshocton County, Ohio. The cemetery bordered the Hardesty land at that time.

Edmond remained in Ohio, and eventually resided with his son Thomas Hardesty and family, according to the 1860 census for Wakatomika, Washington Township, Coshocton County. He sold 160 acres of land to his son, Thomas, on November 10, 1857.

In about 1862, Edmond moved to Ogle County, Illinois, and resided with his children from his marriage to Ruth Chaney. Edmond died on February 6, 1864, and was laid to rest in Washington Grove Cemetery on a lot belonging to his daughter, Nancy Hardesty Tilton.

From the "History of Coshocton County, It's Past and Present, 1740-1881" - "Edward Hardesty came from Maryland in 1811 and located on the south half of section 19, Washington Township, Coshocton County. Later he moved to Illinois and there he died. His son, Thomas Hardesty, still occupies the S. W. quarter of this section."

While in Ohio, Edmund Hardesty had been known as both Edward and Edmund.

A court document from the Recorder's office in Ogle County, Illinois, dated February 16, 1864 shows the following: "That said deceased, (Edmund Hardesty) left him surviving: Harriet Akins, Thomas Hardesty, Nancy Tilton, John Hardesty, Sophie Cross, Rachel Cox, Daniel Hardesty, Amy Tilton, (and the children of his deceased daughter, Elizabeth Slaughter), William Slaughter, Nancy Bilmire, Ruth Lichliter, Adin Slaughter, Henry Slaughter, John Slaughter, Joseph Slaughter, Rachel Marshall, Arvilla Tilton, Thomas Slaughter."
