Hi list ... I am looking for information on a Jane Clayton who married a William Hart around 1758. My earliest ancestor was William Hart (b ca 1717 - d 1799 in Bedford [now Fulton] Co, PA) and I suspect my William is the one who married Jane. Here is what I KNOW about William and what I SUPPOSE about him. (Please don't pass on my guesswork as fact!) I KNOW: - he had a least 7 children between about 1750 and 1769. - his 1st 4 children were born between 1750 and 1756 - his last 3 children were born between 1763 and 1769 I SUSPECT: this suggests he was married twice. I KNOW: - that a William Hart and Jane Clayton were married in Philadelphia in 1758. - per land records of 1789, my William and "his wife Jane" sold land in Bedford [now Fulton] Co, PA, to one of their sons. (But, was this Jane Clayton or another Jane?) I KNOW: - from a land warrant of 1767 that William was making improvements on land in Bedford County by 1760. I SUSPECT: (really, just guess work) William and a first wife were married around 1749 and that she died in 1756 or 57. He then remarried. If anyone can help me with either William Hart OR Jane Clayton, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Mike Thorne mhthorne@juno.com
