Jo, You put life in this old gal with your query regarding HART of Suffolk, Eng. My great-great grandfather was Henry Hart, b. ca 1780, Hadleigh, Sufffolk. He m. Sarah Street. Both signed the parish register with an X. They had another Henry, b. Monksley, Suffolk, who m. Charlotte Ellis in Lowestoft in 1831. A witness was Robert Hook, a hero (credited with saving 600 lives) of the Lifeboat Service in which Charlotte's brother also served They may have been in Great Yarmouth at some time, but most of my scant records say Norwhich, Norfolk. Henry, described both as a sawyer and a cowkeeper, died about 1850 and Charlotte later. Their children was Susanna Amelia, Tom, Edward, Claudius Spencer, Mary Frances and Hannah. Edward was crippled. Susanna Amelia , Mary Frances and Claudius, who became my grandfather, came to the US separately. Mary Frances m. Robert Dubois, a saillmaker, of Port Norris, NJ. She had a son Robert who had a son Robert who had no children. Susanna Amelia, a seamstress who had married Henry Jabez Strange, had four daughters before she came over planning on becoming LDS and living in Salt Lake. That didn't work out, though, and the Stranges settled in Denver where they had a store wagon, dealing primarily in leather goods. Claudius, bound out to a fishing-boat captain, caught up with them when he was 14. His story and Susanna's are utterly fascinating. They moved to southern Colorado to escape the hurly-burly civilization they thought the railroad, here in 1870, would bring. The two men operated a store and sawmill in present-day Aguilar until the Strange's moved away. Claudius, my grandfather became a highly successful rancher and businessman. Also in law-enforcement, I assume a deputy sheriff. I do hope we find you and I are kin! There are a lot of us Hart descendants, the majority in Colorado. Roberta
