I wish I knew anything about the Harts of Livingston Co.,KY., but I don't. I first have John Hart and a Robert Hart in the 1806 tax list for Livingston Co. My Mary/Polly Hart married July 1809 in Livingston Co.,Ky. to John Hayle. It seems she was most likely the daughter of the John Hart, but he is deceased before Mary marries. Johns wife was Elizabeth, and she is in the 1810 census. So I don't know of any other connection for my Hart line.
