I am researching my ggrandmother's HART family with little success. She was Paralee Arabel (Belle) HART and married William A. BURNS in Hopkins County, TX in 1878. I do not know the names of her parents. Accordingto my elderly aunt, she had three brothers, Frank, who I think m. Susie (last name unknown, William m Parathenia Burns (sister of William) and Cisco or Cisero and a sister Narcissa. Reportedly, Belle Hart was part Cherokee.She died about 1898. Belle Hart BURNS was living in Hopkins County in 1880, when my grandmother, Eddie Esley Burns, was born in Weaver. I suspaect that Esley is the surname of Belle's mother...but only a speculation. My grandmother named her oldest son Esley Lee Reed. I have a letter written to my grandmother from Susie Hart. Any connection? Phylis Wilson Carpenter
