In my original message, I listed one of the children of Edwin and Eliza HART as : 5. Joseph S HART born 1838 Clarke Co., VA. Married 1857 in Loudoun Co., VA Rachel Ann MORRISON. Rachel was born 1835 in Clarke Co., VA and died 1877 in Texas - probably Van Zandt Co; she was the daughter of Edward MORRISON (2nd husband of Frances Hart) by bis first wife, Flora WHITE. Joseph, rachel and family eventually moved to Van Zandt Co., TX. Their 5 children are: Joseph E, Rosa Belle, Thomas Roper, Julia Dora and Alice. I now believe that Joseph may have remarried after Rachel died. In the 1880 census for Precinct 1, Kaufman, TX, page 50B, I find: Joseph S Hart age 41, born in VA and wife Nancy Hart (wife) age 33, born in TX. Children listed: Thomas Hart age 14, born in VA Dora Hart age 11, born in VA Allice Hart age 9, born in VA Nora Hart age 10 months, born in TX (this would have to be a child with Nancy). Also lists 2 stepsons, Robert and Cosby Parker, ages 13 and 10. All of this certainly fits with my Joseph S Hart, including names and ages of the children with Rachel. There are 2 children that are not accounted for: Joseph E, who would be about 21 and Rosa Belle, who would be about 19. I can not find a Joseph E anywhere in Texas, but did locate a Rosa B, age 18, living with a James E and Virginia Hart - Rosa is listed as their niece. This would be the right age to be the missing Rosa and it shows her born in VA (also James, Virginia and their children show born in VA). Only problem is that I have no record of Joseph S Hart having a brother James. Anyone have these people? Jamie Danker jdanker@access4cheap.com
