PARDEE
The name of Pardee (or Pardy, as many of the family came to spell it) has never been very common in America, but has included many prominent and useful citizens. Most of them now living in this country are of French descent, and the name was formerly almost universally spelled Pardee, afterwards Americanized to Pardy.
