We just found his 1917 death certificate (Jefferson Co, TX) and realized we had his parents wrong. His father shows to be D. K. Hart from TN, mother unknown. James Madison Hart is my gg grandfather. We know his children claimed to be Indian and Irish and wondered if he might be connected to your Bertie (Hart) White. James Madison Hart was married to Emily Elizabeth Ethridge. Married in TN, but also lived in Burnet Co TX, Oklahoma, and died in Jefferson Co TX after being shot by his son-in-law. His son Fred Lee Hart was my ggf. I realize this is an old post but am hoping we can make a connection.
