John Hart is also an ancestor of mine, and therefore I am not at all bored by the discussion. I also had Connecticut as his birthplace, and am interested in the Hopewell birthplace information. Is there any information concerning the Lineage of Martha FURMAN, his mother? I have nothing past her name and an estimated birthdate of 1691.
