Notes:

Name:
They lived on Hart street, next west of Wothington Village, sometimes called lower lane. The house is still standing, 1873, with the upper story projecting over lower. It is related of him that when at work in Farmington meadows, he observed a bear coming into the lot; he seized his pitchfork and mounted his horse hitched under a tree, and pursued the bear and killed it. This anecdote is related by his great grandson of Candor, NY. He was a deacon in Kensington church, and died Jan. 27th, 1770, aged 84 years. Elizabeth, his widow, died Nov. 14, 1777. He is said to be one of the early settlers of 'Great Swamp Society'. In 11753, April 27th he headed a petition to the General Assembly for a division of this society, and the result was a new society called New Britain in 1754, now 1874, the town and city of New Britain.

Notes:

Name:
He was one of the appraisers of his uncle Stephen hart's estate in 1689. In May, 1695, he was confirmed by the General Court ensign of the Farmington train-band, and in October, 1703, was commissioned lieutenant, and subsequently promoted captain. He was for four successive years (1702-5) a deputy from Farmington to the General Court, and was appointed in may, 1705, one of the auditors of the colony. When his father's house was burned by the Indians, he was absent from home, and thus providentially saved to be the progenitor of a numerous posterity. the offices and honors thus bestowed upon him indicate that he stood high in the community. Capt. John Hart died in Farmington, Nov. 11th, 1714, aged 60 years; his wife died Sept. 19th, 1738, aged 74 years.

John married Mary MOORE. Mary was born about 1664; died on 19 Sep 1738. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
