Hello Cindy: <<Laura Hart was born in Hawkin [Hocking] county, Ohio, February 3rd, 1827 >> I have nothing on Laura but my great great great grandparents George and Mary (Brown) Hart had their first child in Hocking County Ohio in 1828. They were methodists and several of Laura's children had the same names as this family i.e., William, Mary Ann, George, and Rachel. My info and sources follow. This is about all I have on my Hart line other than allied families.
