I have sat back and watched all the many e-mails about Harts. I am from a long line of Harts in NY state, and NOBODY has had any info so far that connects with mine. I am so disappointed! My Harts came from Kent, England to Columbia County, New York, beginning with William Hart born 14 March 1755 in Germantown, Columbia, NY. He had a son William, and there are William Harts and John Harts all thru my line. I am hoping that some day I can make a connection with somebody. By the 1800s my Harts were in Catskill, Greene County, NY. They were there until at least the late 1800s. My grandmother was Elizabeth Hart, (born 12 Jan 1868) who married Franklin Havens. Nan
