400 HART FAMILY.

with his fellow-men. In 1811, having become too aged for practice, he removed to a farm in Lowell, Ohio, on the Muskingum River, some ten miles from Marietta, where he died of spotted fever, August, 1812, aged 70 years. His widow died a few hours after him, and both were buried the same day.

NOTE.—After the death of his first wife Dr. Hart removed to the house of his second wife, on Harris Hill, a place now occupied and owned by the Harris family, where I found an old ledger in the handwriting of Dr. Hart, in which his autograph is on several pages of the book. The oldest date found was 1777, and the latest was 1799. Here are charges of his visits and services as physician, to the people of Wethersfield, Newington, Berlin, Stepney, (now Rocky Hill,) and to other places more remote, embracing a period of some twenty years of active labor. The book is somewhat mutilated, but is still a precious relic of a good and worthy ancestor.
