Hi,
I am also from the Hardison line-Jasper, Charles, John, Elizabeth and on down. My aunts did research from the 1920's on this line, and hired a researcher at one time to find our origins. He found that the Hardison's are indeed originally French, spelled Hardisson. (I have found on the internet Hardisson's still in France, in the coastal regions.)This was in the middle ages. Some of them later emigrated to the British Isles, and then to America. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to find where Jasper was from or who his parents were. There are still Hardisson's in the US spelled that way. I wonder if they are from our line or connected to us. So to make a long story short, the name Jeanette could be a family name passed down from French origins. I would love to see your Irish connections. Becky
