Benjamin Hardison (1761 – July 1823[1]) was a farmer, miller and political figure in Upper Canada.
He represented 4th Lincoln and Norfolk in the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada from 1797 to 1800.
Hardison died there after purchasing a share of a mill with James Kerby earlier in 1823.
[1] He at one point owned a black woman named Chloe Cooley as a slave before selling her to Adam Vrooman.
Her eventual sale by Vrooman to the United States led to the passage of the Act Against Slavery.
