The names are not all listed on the marker. The marker reads as follows: "Joseph Hart & six members of his family were massacred and buried here in a common grave in the fall of 1835-36. The lone survivor was a two year old daughter Mary (Melissa) Hart. She married George Marlow." I have a jpg picture of the marker that I took earlier this month if anyone is interested. Email me off list & I'll send it to you. LCR "Robert D.
