That HART name is close to that bunch. John HART (1758-1814) of Charleston, SC married Mary Esther SCREVEN. I do not have this HART boy's parents but William Coffee DANIEL, son of Charles DANIEL and Elizabeth COFFEE of Greene County, GA, married Martha SCREVEN who was out of this same overall SCREVEN family which was spread out between Charleston and Savannah. Martha was a descendant of Landgrave Thomas SMITH of Charleston...... John R.
