There  exists  a  coat-of-arms attached to the Hardesty name.  This can be found in the pages of Burke's General Armoury, and is reproduced below.  I make no claims as to the right to bear these arms,  as  I  have no idea to what family of Hardestys it may pertain.

Blazon:  Azure, a lion rampant between three fleurs-de-lis or, a chief vair. 

Crest:  A boar's head couped proper pierced through by an arrow. 

An alternate crest can be found in Fairbairn's Crests of the families of Great Britain and Ireland (p. 228):    Two hands, issuing from clouds, conjoined, in fess.
