Has anyone done work on JAMES HART who was a Lawyer in Herkimer Co., in the late 1800s? In the 1850 census there is a CATHERINE HART Living right next door. I was wondering if they were related. I got some info on James from the Historical Societies when I was requesting info on my JOSEPH HART. (the brickwall) I really don't think my Joseph and James were related as in the 1880 census it was checked that Joseph could not read or write. Do you think one brother was a lawyer and another could not read or write? My Joseph was born in NJ. I cannot find what happened to Catherine after 1850, but she does has males living with her who were in the age range of my Joseph. Hoping to hear from someone. Mel melmac7@earthlink.net
