I Found some more interesting info on Jasper Hardison from the following website:

An excerpt from the site:
Jasper Hardison came from England, Yorkshire Co. and settled in Maine near
Kittnery.

Married Mary Carkett, who was his neighbor's daughter. Mr. Carkett had a ship,
also he was a boat builder and he sailed from Maine to North Carolina trading
goods and produce.

Jasper Hardison bought 100 acres of land in NC. Rose Plantation
