     Martha was born circa 1750 at Bertie, North Carolina, British Colonial America. She was the daughter of William Duggan and Mary Smithwick. She married Allen Hardie, circa 1776 at Edgecombe, North Carolina, United States. Martha died before 1797 at Edgecombe, North Carolina, United States.
     Biography of Martha Duggan:
Martha Duggan is clearly the daughter of William Duggan and Mary Smithwick. We believe that Martha Duggan is the Martha that married Allen Hardie about 1776. Our belief is based on the following:

Allen and Martha Hardie sold 180 acres of land in Martin County, North Carolina on the south side of Gardner's Creek to Josiah Smith "except the lot on Gardner's Creek given by Edmund Smithwick Esq. to his Children as will appear by his will" on 12 November 1787. [Martin County, NC Deed Book 6:496] No record could be found on how Allen and Martha acquired this land. A reading of the Will of Edmund Smithwick, which was dated 11 May 1774, and proved July 1774, [Martin County, NC WB 1 387-395] shed no light on exactly which land Allen and Martha described in their deed of 12 November 1787. However, this reference to the Edmund Smithwick Will clearly shows a strong relationship to the Smithwicks. In addition, William Bennett in his "Smithwick Genealogy" in the book "Hugh Smithwick Descendants" provides amble evidence² that Edmund Smithwick was involved in many land transactions and owned properties in Bertie, Martin and Tyrell Counties. Edmund had also given or dispensed land on a number of occasions to close friends and relatives. It is thus possible that his grand niece, Martha Duggan was the recipient of that generosity after, Martha's father, William Duggan, or her mother Mary Smithwick, had died after 1754.

The other indications that Martha Hardie is a Duggan is found in the book "Thomas Hooks, 1730-1803" by Coy Johnson wherein is included in "A Memorial to Ivy W. Duggan, A.M., LL.D," published in 1917, apparently at Atlanta, Georgia by and unknown author. It contains some early history of the Duggan's which indicates that "Martha (Pattie) Duggan married --?-- Hardee, according to the "Memorial" account. Coy Johnson believed that --?-- Hardee was Allen Hardee who was baptised Aug. 14, 1802, at Bethlehem Baptist Church, Warthen.³ (In the book "Thomas Hinds Duggan" by Alice Duggan Gracy the author cites the author of the "Memorial" as Mell L. Duggan.)

Also the name Duggan shows up as a middle name in two of the grandchildren of Allen and Martha Hardie. The grandchildren are: William Duggins Hardie (grandson) and Harmon Dugan Hardie (great grandson). Also, Allen and Martha had a son named William, perhaps named after her father, William Duggan.

The above is the basis for showing that Martha is the daughter of William Duggan and Mary Smithwick.

Martha probably died in Edgecombe County, North Carolina before Feb 1797 based on her name and signature not being on a deed wherein Allen sold 200 acres of land. Her signature was on all previous deeds, so it is assumed she died prior to 1797. Also no record of her in Georgia with Allen has been found.
