    Thomas Browne was Treasurer of the Household of King George VI. His grandson, Sir Anthony Browne (d. 1548), was Knight of the Garter, Lord High Admiral, Master of the Horse, and Standard Bearer to King Henry VIII. Future generations also served the crown in similar fashion.
    The roots of this Hardy line extend from Chowan and New Bern Counties, North Carolina, back through Virginia to the Old Country. Anthony Hardy I of Pembroke, Wales, had a son who moved to Dorchestershire, England after his birth. Four of Anthony Hardy's grandsons came to America before 1695.
    Col. John Hinton & his brother, William Hinton, came to North Carolina from Barbados in the early 17th century.
    In "Burke's Peerage" it is stated that the ancient Temple family of Stowe, Buckinghamshire, England, derives the surname from the manor of Temple Co., Leicester, and has its pedigree record in the
    "Visitation of Leicestershire" AD 1619. This lineage goes back to a time before 1053. Below are listed
    6 generations of the line beginning with Thomas Temple of Whitney, whose wife Alice, was daughter andheiress of John Heritage of Burton Dorset, in Coventry, Warwick. The Temples and Alstons connect.
