Several of you have asked about Hannah. Below is a lot of recorded information on this family. If you need anything more just ask. I've abbreviated some birth dates etc., so I may have something more you need. Enjoy. 1850 Census, Carroll Co,. Albany township, NH: Obediah Harriman, age 43; wife Hannah, age 40; son John age 17; son William a. 16; dau Emily, age 12; dau Almira a. 11; dau Melissa a. 10; son Allen age 5**, son Ezariah age 1. This census makes him born in 1808 and Hannah born in 1810. **Allen is my gr-grandfather Hannah was born 06 December 1810 in Canadia, New Hampshire and died 23 August 1898 in Albany, Carroll Co., New Hampshire. On 02 January 1831 in Hiram, Maine, she married Obadiah Allen Harriman and they had nine issue. Hannah is the daughter of John Hart Sr, (27 June 1784-24 Sep 1866) of Epping, New Hampshire. He was married to Hannah Carter (Dec 1787-18 Aug 1866) and Hannah, the daughter, was one of five siblings which inc: James (1808), Polly (1806), Nancy (1811) and John Jr. (1818). John Hart, Sr. (1784) was the son of James Hart (called "Master") and his wife Lydia. John was one of 13 issue which inc. Lydia (1784), Sally (1786), William (1787), Patty (1787) (twin to William), Sally (1788).Henry (1789), Jenny (1792), Hannah (1796), Thomas (1797), Alice (1799), Melinda (1801), and Matilda (1803) . Notes on John Hart, Master : History of Parsonsfield, ME there is mention of a James Hart who was the teacher(see below) and town clerk for about twenty years (1790-1807). He as known as Master James Hart and had 13 children. The 1800 census of Parsonsfield, ME shows a James Hart with the following dependents: 2 males under 10 ( Thomas (3) and Henry (9)); 2 males 10-16 (William (13) and John (16); 1 male 26-45 would be James (42); 4 females under 10 (Alice (1); Hannah (5); Lydia (6); Jennie (8)), 2 females 10-16 (Patty (11) and Sally (12); 1 female 26-45 would be Hannah his wife.

"History of Parsonsfield" (Portland ME 1888) p. 41 James Hart, or Master Hart, as he was usually called, was one of the early teachers of Parsonsfield. He came from Epping or Newmarket, NH, about 1790, and left the town in 1807, having remained about seventeen years. He taught in the western, middle, eastern, and southern sections of the town, changing his residence to accommodate himself to his business. While teaching in the southern section, he kept his school in Jesse Wedgwood's dwelling-house, as I have heard my father say, who attended his school there when a small boy, probably about 1796. He was an Englishman, born in Berkeley in 1748, and governed his schools in the rigorous style of the school teachers of England. He used the rod and ferule freely. Few scholars dared to lift their eyes from their books, during study hours, in his school. He was not, however altogether to blame for his severe mode of school discipline. It was largely the fault of his time and his English training. Corporal punishment was then much more frequently employed in the schoolroom, in the family, and everywhere than now; and perhaps scholars then required severer discipline. Master Hart must have been a good teacher for his time, or he could not have continued his business for so many years, in succession, in the same town. After leaving Parsonsfield, Master Hart taught a while in Sanford in this county, and afterward probably moved to New Hampshire, and died there.

There are several Eastern Shore sites that are going to help you. I use to live there and my husband is native born. Odd as it sounds, go to this site for wonderful genealogy of the entire peninsular...including Accomack (by the way...the city is spelled Accomac without the final "k"..a bit of trivia there !!) http://www.ocmuseum.org/ Next, go to GHOTES (just Google it) and also the Eastern Shore Library site And http://www.rootsweb.com/~vaaccoma/ for the county. Good luck in your hunt. PS: I knew Roy BULL before he died. He owned some of my husband's grandfather's decoys...in fact he had the largest private collection of them (Charles Birch). He lived in a magnificent old Eastern Shore house and had a large indoor pool just for floating his decoys in. -----Original Message----- From: Lorraine Travers [mailto:calorra@netzero.net] Sent: Saturday, June 03, 2006 9:18 PM To: HART-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Selby Hart Lineage I am attempting to trace the roots of a family member, but have encountered a problem.

I have recently discovered that my 3rd Greatgrandmother is a Hart. She was married to Samuel Braswell before 1827 and they lived in Robertson Co., TN. I suspect that her father was Barnaby Hart, who was born abt 1780 in NC. Also in Robertson county is a Henry Hart who was married to Judith T. Pickering, and a George Hart who was married to an Elizabeth with daughters Anna (Gilliland), Sophia and Lucy. If anyone knows of a connection to any of these Robertson Co., TN Harts I would love to know. Thankyou. Ann

Hello! I dont have any inforrmation on my 3 x great grandmother except that she was born Margaret HART in 1804 in Dublin. She married John MARTIN and by 1832 the family was living in Kent. They eventually moved to Llanelli, South Wales and she died some time after 1881. Not much information, I know, but you never know - long shots do sometimes pay off!

Hello Lorraine, I looked in the 1850 census at all the Hart families in Accomack County, VA, and found only one Selby. This is what I found: In Accomack Parish page 60/119. House visited on 2 Oct 1850. Elisabeth Hart age 27 born VA William Hart age 5 born VA Selby P. Hart age 6/12 born VA There were four other Hart households in Accomack County, but no other Selbys.

I was surfing the Hart Archives and on the 1997 site found a message from Marie Coady regarding John Anthony Hart's line. I am also a descendent of this line. Would like to chat with her or anyone else connected with this line. John Anthony Hart, Sr. b. Oct. 14, 1755 in King and Queen Co., VA and died about 1832 in Halifax County, VA. He was married to Elizabeth Carlton who had previously been married to a William Carlton. Their children were Nancy born 1796, John Anthony, Jr., Elijah and Ambrose b. 1786. Nancy married (first) Christopher Carlton and then Henderson Snead. Nancy and Henderson moved to Alabama. This is my line. Ambrose married Rebecca Carlton. He died in 1858 and is buried in Hart Cemetary, Calloway Co., MO. These Harts and Carltons appeared to have married each other all over the place...sort of confusing. I have more info which I haven't dug out of my files. Just decided on a whim to see if I could plump out this line. Laura Higginbotham Pleasant Grove, AL

Am researching the Harts of Philadelphia. Need information on a John Hart born in PA July 1819 in the Kensington section. His wife was Martha X. He died between 1870-1880. In the 1850 census, he had a Mary Hart, born in NJ, living with him, age 68 years. It's possible that this is his mother. There was also a William Hart, age 50, born in NJ, living with John and his wife in 1850. Any help in finding the parentage of John Hart would be gratefully received.

The problem is that the state only has records from 1913 and also that I do not have a first name for father or maiden name for mother. In fact, I am really just guessing if I have the right person but know I must try. The person I am looking for is: Henry Hart, born Oct. 1883 in Tarboro, NC to Allice ? Hart. She also had a daughter Mary, 1886 and a son Charley Oct. 1887. The father must have died or divorced as she was remarried to ? Wilfield or Whitfield in 1900 census and had 2 more children, Joseph 1893 and Lucy 1899. The census form was so messed up it was hard to read husband's name. Any clues as to how to get into this mystery? As if that isn't enough, I have no siblings or other relatives that can help me. Thanks so much everyone for your help. Barbara K
