Early Origins of the Hartey family

The surname Hartey was first found in Kent where the first record of the name was Benedict de Herty who was listed in the Feet of Fines in Kent in 1241. Manuesimus de Herty was listed in the Rotuli Hundredorum of 1272. The Isle of Harty dates back to Roman times and is today called the Isle of Sheppy. No longer an island but marshlands, Harty is a small hamlet on this island consisting of a few cottages, a church and a public house named The Ferry Inn. The church has no electricity or running water but dates back to the 11th century.
