[ A book is available about Silas Hart, the fifth child of John Hart and Huldah Gould. This is "HART FAMILY HISTORY, Silas Hart, His Ancestors and Descendants," by William Lincoln Hart, Alliance, Ohio, 1942. I'll quote a single paragraph of the book:

Silas Hart, fifth child of John Hart and his second wife, Huldah Gould, was born in Canaan, Conn., May 19, 1760. The first thirty-five years of his life was spent in Litchfield County, Conn., where about the year 1782 he was married to one whose name is not known and to this union was born a daughter, Amy in 1784. About the year 1785 the wife of Silas Hart died. In 1787 he was married a second time to Phile Swift of Kent, Conn., who was born August 1, 1767, she being a member of the prominent and widely known Swift family of that state. She was the daughter of Elisha Swift and his wife, Mary Ranson Swift, and a sister of Gen. John Swift and Gen. Philetus Swift, both officers of the American army in the war with Great Britain in 1812.

Silas moved to Palmyra, N.Y. with his wife, Phile, where her brothers had originally settled. Phile died January 12, 1813 in Palmyra, N.Y. He died Wednesday, August 6, 1828 in the same location.

Sadly, this book also includes information about some ancestors of Phile Swift that is now known to be incorrect. Phile is descended from the Mayflower passenger, Richard Warren. This descent is shown correctly. But the book also includes a few pages showing, incorrectly, how Richard Warren is descended from William the Conqueror, Charlemagne, and other royalty. In reality, Richard Warren's parents in England are unknown.
