Lynn & Cagle -- Listed in "North and South Carolina Marriage Records," which covers colonial through civil war time frame, I found the following HARTs: Ann HART & James Buzzard, 19 Feb 1856, Edgefield Dist. SCChristopher HART & Elizabeth Graham, 24 Dec 1784, Charleston SCJohn HART & Mary Screven, 17 Jun 1784, St. Thomas Parish SCRitcey HART & Abraham M. Sexies, 13 Nov 1777, Charleston SCShanky HART & Abraham Jacobs, 19 Oct 1785, Charleston SC In another book, "This Happy Land: The Jews of Colonial and Antebellum Charleston," lists many Jewish HARTs in Colonial and Antebellum Charleston, most coming from Germany. I do not find any James HART, but there are 3 Samuel HARTs, all of which, however, appear older than your Samuel HART. Following is a list of HARTs listed as living in Charleston with their place of origin and the date of their first record in SC: >From California: Daniel HART (1860)From England: Godfrey HART (1850); Bella (Levy) HART (1788)From Germany: Alexander Moses HART (d. 1797); Moses HART (1780); Philip HART (1749; Daniel HART (1792); Hymon N. HART (1791); Nathan HART (1802); Samuel HART (1767)From Maryland: Gerstine HART (1860)From The Netherlands: Moses HART (1761)From Poland: Susan HART (1860); Sarah HART (1845)From Prussia: Caspar (1859); Pauline HART (1860) As for my search, I am researching SC Harts trying to find the family of my SIMEON MOSES HART (b. 20 Oct 1818, Charleston, SC/d. 8 Jul 1872, New Orleans, LA; buried in Campti, Natchitoches Parish, LA), who married Emily Lucilla MCDANIEL, of Natchitoches Parish, LA. Simeon is believed to have been born and raised in Charleston until the age of 14 or so, when he ran away from home because of an "unkind" stepmother. Family information has it that he was of German Jewish descent. Based on their tradition of naming children after their fathers or grandfathers of the Sephardic Jews, there is a good chance that Simeon was related to another line of a Moses HART and Simon Moses HART from the early to mid-1700s. I greatly appreciate any suggestions you have on resources for researching S. M. or Simeon or baby HART in the 1818 -1848 time frame. I would dearly love to find his Charleston family of origin. Good luck in all your searches,Dana Stripling Researching: ALBRITTON, BARBEE, BERRY, BRETT, BURLESON, CARR, DEBLIEUX, FREEMAN, HALSELL, HART, HICKS, HOWARD, KINGSBURY, LOONEY, MCDANIEL, MURPHY, NEWMAN, PENICK, SANDEL, SIMMONS, STEPHENSON, STRIPLING, SULLIVAN, VAN HOOSE, WHITE

Any help on the family shown below would be greatly appreciated. Apparently there was a move for William Sr. and Jr. from SC to AR and for William Jr.'s wife, Elizabeth, from TN. I do not know the marriage date/place for William Jr. and Elizabeth. The assumption from the 1840s census is that, for the William (older) and the William (younger) to be on the same page they might be father and son (it was not noted as Sr. or Jr. on either entry). There was also another Hart on the same page, a George W., with the assumption that he may also be related and is a brother to William Jr. This may be an incorrect assumption on my part. Lydia F., the sixth child of William Jr. and Elizabeth is my GG Grandmother and her information is shown below with her husband Thomas Garrett and their children. In the following information, the first generation comes from 1840 Crawford Co. AR Census. The second generation comes from the 1840 and 1850 Crawford Co. Census, as well as other known data. For example, the first three daughters of William Jr. were on the 1840 census, but do not show up on the 1850 census so I have no name for them. The census found were as follows: 1840 Crawford Co.

While driving through Maine, I found a "Hart's Corner Cemetery" at "Hart's Corner." If you wish to locate it on a map, it is between Bangor and Ellsworth on Route 1A. To be more precise, it is just west of East Holden, which is east of Bangor and Brewer, Maine. It's a small old cemetery with no indication of any church nearby. (Perhaps there had been a church, of course, but it's not there now.) There is a large monument with Hart on the front, near the road, facing the road. On that front side, it says "Capt. Russell Hart, born Nov. 4, 1794, Died Sept. 26, 1877." Also on that side is "Wealthy Brettun, his wife. Born October 12, 1797, died April 6, 1881." On the left side is "Emeline L. Hart, wife of John E. Green, Born November 18, 1827, Died March 10, 1891" and "Russell N. B. Hart, born October 27, 1823, died October 19, 1901." on the right side is "Rev. Edwin J. Hart, born September 16, 1825, Died in Cottage Grove, Minnesota April 16, 1893." It was great fun to discover it. A few yards behind the other is a relatively new stone (not new - just looking newer than the one I mentioned in the first paragraph. My guess is it's a replacement. That makes me want to find the person who might have replaced it.) On it is "Albert C. Hart, January 5, 1840 - April 18, 1917" and " Almeda H. Phillips, wife of Albert C. Hart, August 23, 1848 - October 13, 1909" with some small stones nearby engraved "A. Hart" and "C. Hart." The small C. Hart stone had a GAR flag -- that is "Grand Army of the Republic."

Lynn, If you should find the answer to this, how about sharing with me. I think Samuel Hart, b. 1 Mar 1826, SC and James Aaron Hart, b. 1822, SC are brothers and the sons of James Aaron and Anna Hart, who is the son of James Thomas Hart, b. 1774, North Carolina. Can you confirm this or does any of the above connect to your South Carolina Harts.

My known HART ancestry begins with James HART who married Amelia SHAFER about 1818 in Mercer County, Pennsylvania. There first son was Obadiah and their first daughter Jane. I am descended from a younger son, Abraham. In a census, Abraham and his brothers say that their father was born in Connecticut. As James is not in Pennsylvania for the 1810 census, I suspect that he stopped in New York, as did so many, on the way from Connecticut. He died before the 1850 census. He would have been born about 1785. I have compiled a sizeable family of the descendants of James and Amelia, many found through this list. Have I missed anyone? Rock Honolulu

Hi, Does anyone know anything about a William M. Hart of Greensburg, PA area? He was known for his writings and had some of his poetry printed in the magazines called "Good Ole Days" and a weekly paper called "Grit". He was born in 1856 and married Ida Hughes. They ran a boarding house someplace in Allegheny County. She was from Westmoreland County, PA. Their children were Jesse (female) Hart and Hazel Hart. They were born in 1884 and 1888. His general labor was a coal miner. At one point in time, they went to Alabama but didn't stay there for any length of time. Any help is greatly appreciated.

George Scott Hart, p. 13 GEORGE SCOTT HART was born in the City of Pittsburgh, Penn., on the 29th of July, 1824. He was the son of John and Susanah (Barr) Hart, both of whom were descended from Scotch-Irish ancestry. When the subject of this notice was but four years old, the family removed to Burgettstown, Washington Co., Penn, and four years later settled at Washington, Penn. In the latter town George grew to manhood, and in it spent the remainder of his life. He received his primary education in the private schools then in existence, and in 1838 he entered the Washington College, in the same town, as a student, from which institution he was graduated in the class of 1842, when he had scarcely entered his nineteenth year. Several of his classmates rose to places of high distinction. Among them were Caleb Baldwin, who became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Iowa; J. Kennedy Ewing, afterwards President Judge of the Fourteenth Judicial District of Pennsylvania; Rev. Franklin Moore, an eminent as well as eloquent minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church. After leaving college the subject of this notice was engaged in teaching for two years, one as a private tutor in Accomac county, Va., and one in the public school at Prosperity, in Washington county, Penn. Afterward he entered the office of John L. Gow, Esq., a prominent lawyer of Washington. Penn., as a law student, and in August, 1846, after due examination, he was admitted as a member of the Bar of Washington county. The same year he was appointed Deputy Attorney General, to fill a vacancy. When that office afterward became elective, he was nominated for the place by the Democratic Convention, and at the ensuing election obtained a majority of the votes cast, and was commissioned for the full term of three years. During his term of office several very important criminal trials took place, in all of which it was demonstrated that he was an able and fearless prosecutor. In May, 1853, he acquired an interest in the Washington Examiner, a weekly newspaper, and for three years he was its principal editor. Tiring of journalism, he disposed of his interest in the newspaper in 1856, after the close of the Presidential campaign, and thenceforward until his fatal illness his time and energies were devoted to his chosen profession. In 1876, without opposition, he was nominated for the office of President Judge of the Twenty-seventh Judicial District of Pennsylvania, by the Democratic Convention, and the Convention's action was ratified by the voters of the District at the general election held in November of that year. He was duly commissioned, and served for a term of ten years from the first Monday of January, 1877. Judge Hart also served, previous to his elevation to the Bench, as a member of the School Board of Washington for some twelve years, more than ten of which he acted as Secretary. After the death of his father, in 1859, Mr. Hart assumed the headship of the family, caring, and abundantly providing, for his mother during her declining years. By his unselfish exertions and personal sacrifices, the old home was saved for his brothers and sisters, and they remained together until circumstances brought about changes in the family circle. He was the family counselor, mentor and friend, and his chief aim through life was to make them happy. Such is a brief sketch of the life of a good man. He died at his home, near Washington, on the fifth of May, 1888, surrounded by grief-stricken relatives and several of his sorrowful neighbors. Two days after his body was laid away by the side of kindred dust in the Washington Cemetery, to await the resurrection of the just. Text taken from page 13 of: Beers, J. H. and Co., Commemorative Biographical Record of Washington County, Pennsylvania (Chicago: J. H. Beers & Co., 1893).

James Gibson Hart, p. 166 JAMES GIBSON HART, the subject of this sketch, was born January 2, 1807, on Muddy run, Adams Co., Penn. Looking back from that date, beyond three generations, history holds closed doors to the chronicler of all, or any, of the manners, customs, sayings, doings, facial expressions, or physical build, of that branch of the Hart family who subsequently settled in Somerset township, Washington Co., Penn.; and within that limit, indeed, held open doors only, to deal out material scantily that only the ground timbers of a history have been vouchsafed to future generations. Therefore, very little is known, save that Nathaniel Hart (1), tired of the thraldom and despotic rule of kings and queens, and notwithstanding Columbia was then in her infancy, yet, rocked in the same cradle, was the Goddess of Liberty and Freedom, the vital principles of future America, the very pulse of the young nation, and while at that period there could be no conception of the magnitude of the benefits and blessings that was to be unfolded to a future people, yet he saw with a prophetic eye the glorious privileges of Independence in the land of the free, and said: "Their land shall be my land, their God my God." Consequently, in about 1730, he sailed from fair Scotia's shores to the fairer shores of America. His journey ended when he pitched his tent on Muddy run, Adams Co., Penn. Nothing is further known of his family, except two sons, Nathaniel (2) and Micah. The last named afterward settled near Norwich, Ohio (date not known). In 1769 Nathaniel Hart (2) married Margaret Monteith, and lived on Muddy run, Adams county, Penn. In that home were born four children: David, in 1770; Jane, in 1773; Margaret, in 1782; Mary, in 1785. Of these, Jane married John Kerr, lived and died near Gettysburg, and had four children. Margaret married Nathaniel Paxton, in 1804, and removed to Somerset township, Washington Co., Penn., in 1812. The numerous Paxton families throughout the northern part of Washington county, Penn., and parts of Ohio, are descendants of Nathaniel and Margaret (Hart) Paxton. Mary came with her sister Margaret in 1812, in 18 she married Smith McCollough, of Pigeon Creek. But to return to Nathaniel Hart (2). He died in 1787, on Muddy run, Adams county; his wife, Margaret (Monteith) Hart, died in 1785, leaving the four children, orphans. When David was eleven years of age he assumed the entire management of the homestead, and cared as a father for his three sisters. He married Sarah Paxton (sister of the above-spoken-of Nathaniel), still remaining on Muddy run until the spring of 1807, when he and his estimable wife, feeling the advantages and future welfare of their family demanded removal farther west, sundered the strong ties that bound them to their childhood's home, and when James Gibson, their third child and the subject of this sketch, was seven weeks old, started on their journey, coming through on horseback, and arriving in Somerset township, Washington Co., Penn., about the 1st of April, the floors of their dwelling being all under water the night they arrived. In this home they lived and died. Six children were added to their family after removal to Washington county, making nine by first marriage as follows: Andrew, born in Adams county, in 1803, died in Canonsburg, Washington county, August, 1861; Jane, born in Adams county, 1805, married Henry Newkirk, removed to Ohio, died in 18 ; James Gibson (our subject), born January 2, 1807, the last child born in Adams county; David, the first child born in the new home, in 1809, died in Ashland county, Ohio, March 30, 1872; Maria Hart Fergus, born in 1811, died in Washington January 30, 1888; William, the youngest son by first marriage, born 1819, is still living in the eastern part of Washington county, Penn. (Dates of birth and death of the remaining three of the nine are not known to the writer). But just when youth was buoyant with hope, and life replete with bright promises, death claimed their two sons, John and Paxton, and daughter Sarah. It was then the father was made to feel deeply that "In sorrow's cup flashed bitter wines," and that his "House was left unto him desolate," as about the same time his wife was taken from him, dying in 18?? In 18?? he married Mrs. Margery Butler, to whom were born three children: Margaret Hart Kerr, who resides in Monongahela, Penn.; Eliza Hart Hosac, living in Scenery Hill, Penn., and Dunning Hart, the present owner of Lowland Stock Farm, Washington county, Penn. He too was left, as was his father, at the age of sixteen, the care of his mother and two sisters, his father dying October 1, 1852. His second wife, Margery, died January 2, 1871, and, now, after these long years, the writer feels prompted to add a few words to his memory, not to eulogize, but simple unvarnished truths. He was a man of no unordinary intellect, a thorough Bible scholar, his character unimpeachable, distinguished for uprightness and sterling integrity; he had an indomitable will, a characteristic inherited from the Scotch-Irish race, and which has been transmitted all along the line, neither friend nor foe could swerve him from what he considered the line of duty; yet allied to this unyielding will was a keen discriminating judgment, and soundness of decision, generous, gentle and kind, traits that made him a safe counselor and guide, and secured for him the esteem and confidence of an extended community. In short, he was a just man who feared God and wrought righteousness, and was eminently useful in his day and generation, both in the church and in the world. This brings us to James G. Hart, the subject proper of our sketch, who, as before said, became a resident of Washington county, Penn., from Adams county, in the spring of 1807, when he was seven weeks old. He remained in the home nest until eighteen years of age, when self-reliance (the strongly marked trait of his character) asserted itself, and he determined by energy and industry to be self-sustaining, and provide a resting place for old age; consequently he engaged with Robert Moore to learn the trade of carder and fuller. Having finished his trade, he started in business for himself, in West Pike Run township, Washington Co., Penn., manufacturing goods of different kinds and grades. He was always awarded the first premium for the extra quality and texture of his broadcloths, and other goods put on exhibition at what was then known as the "Cattle Show," at Washington, now our Agricultural Fair, and he manufactured the first piece of broadcloth ever exhibited at a Washington county fair. In 1831 he married Isabell Moffitt, still living, and following his trade in West Pike Run township until, 1838, he removed to Centreville, a village six miles west of Brownsville, where he engaged in the dry-goods business. His wife Isabell died in 1840, leaving four children, as follows: David Moffitt, their eldest son, with his family resides at this time in Brownsville, Fayette Co., Penn., was married twice; his first wife, Miss Pera Rex; his present wife, Miss Lissa S. Wilgus. Maj. James P. Hart, his second son, married Miss Lide J. Aiken, of Washington, Penn.; was treasurer of Washington county in 1868 and 1869; he with his family reside in Washington, D. C. Lizzie J., the only daughter by this marriage, married Chauncey R. Dever; they, and their only child, James Hart Dever (the first grandchild), are living in Washington, Penn. John T., the youngest child, died while in the army at Cumberland, Md., April 27, 1864. In 1842 he married Margery Gregg, by whom were six children; he pursued the dry-goods business successfully until 1848, when, feeling that the future welfare of his family demanded an extension of his lines, he, when his sixth son, Brit Hart, was seven weeks old (same age as he himself was when he came from Adams county), removed to a farm in West Bethlehem township, one mile from what was then Hillsboro, now Scenery Hill. He took a deep interest in the questions and political issues of the day. His own community ever found him an ardent friend and benefactor to all worthy objects, a strong advocate of education; but his "pet" was the common-school system, and he zealously fed and nurtured its growth and improvement in his county. It was years ago that, when the president of the board of directors (teachers being sent to him to be examined), knowing his unfitness, he with others conceived and agitated the question not only of teachers being examined by a county superintendent, but proposed other measures for the improvement of the system. He eagerly watched its life and growth, and hailed with pleasure the advancement and stage of perfection it had attained in his day. Politically, in the beginning he was an Old-line Whig; in the turning of the wheel a stanch Republican; and was chairman of the first committee that met in Washington, to organize the Republican party. He was, in 1856, elected associate judge, with Jacob Slagle as colleague and was re-elected in 1861 with Robert Dinsmore as colleague. It was due to the suggestions and efforts of Slagle and himself that the barbarous custom of withholding food from jurors, until their decision was given, was done away with; they looked not only upon the cruelty, but the desecration of principle as well. He was a devoted friend to the soldier and his cause, giving aid and comfort when and where he could. But the crowning efforts of his life was in his sacrifices, counsels and life work for his family. In that relation he lived exalted from the unwavering confidence reposed in him by his own children. They knew beyond a doubt that he in all things lived a life that was above a shadow of suspicion. In the dark hours of sorrow and affliction he was their Anchor, and when their Life-boat seemed to be almost engulfed by the grim waves of death dashing against it, and though tempest- tossed himself, yet he was the stay, strength and comfort of his children. He gave to them that restful feeling, that, if "Father is at the helm all will be well" so far as an earthly hand can do. Death came so often, and took from him some loved one. His second wife, Margery, died June 2, 1855, leaving six children. Her youngest child, Ard, died October 1, 1856. Soon the death-cloud that before had darkened the home of his father, David, rose again and settled with sombre gloom over his own home, by taking two sons, Thomas and Samuel, and daughter, Sarah, to the spirit-land, just when life was sweetest, leaving only two surviving children by his second marriage: Hon. Brit Hart, who in December, 1874, married Miss Priscilla D. Lacock, of Scenery Hill, Washington Co., Penn., and who was, in 1884, elected to the Legislature; and sister Annie E., who, in October, 1872, married Thomas Ross (they both with their families now reside in Washington, Penn.). Mrs. Jane B. Hopkins, of Brownsville, Fayette Co., Penn., his third wife, died in March, 1890. In closing this sketch of the life of James G. Hart, no more fitting tribute can be offered to his memory than that "As the father so the son," a Christian firmly adhering to the Calvanistic faith, a man of unblemished character. Firm and unyielding, though not without charity, the promptings of duty always found him sure and steadfast, of sound judgment and decision. After a long lingering illness, which was borne without a murmur, he closed an active and useful life July 5, 1885. The war record of the Hart family, who served in the war waged against secession and slavery is as follows: Two sons of David Hart (2); William, who served in an Ohio regiment; Dunning, his youngest, who served in the One Hundred and Fortieth P. V. I., was wounded at the battle of Gettysburg. William's two sons, Emmet and Leander, the latter losing his life at Averill's raid. Andrew's son, David, of Canonsburg, a member of Company A, Ringgold Cavalry, was wounded in an engagement at Cedar Springs, Md. James G., two sons: Maj. James P. Hart, of Washington, D. C., captain of Company A, Ringgold's Cavalry, afterward promoted to major, and John T. Hart, member of same company, who died in Cumberland, Md., April 27, 1864. David Hart, Jr., of Savannah, Ohio, was a member of the Twenty-third Regiment Ohio Volunteers. Text taken from page 166 of: Beers, J. H. and Co., Commemorative Biographical Record of Washington County, Pennsylvania (Chicago: J. H. Beers & Co., 1893).

At one time I asked about the Hart's of Livingston & Caldwell County, KY and was told by someone they were from Anson County, NC., and there was a FGS in Caldwell County. If there was one, it is now gone. Is that person on this list still? Mamie

Sam -- Saw your reference to a Gabriel Hart out of SC. I am researching the Harts there, probably from the family of Simon Moses Hart. Is your Gabriel Hart by chance Jewish? All I know is that my ancestor was Simeon Moses Hart, a German Jew, who came from Charleston and ran away as a young boy, stowing away on a ship into New Orleans. Any help?
