Esquire Moore kept a herd of cows, which were milked in great part by females of the family, and as Hart was extremely fond of women, he claimed the privilege of carrying in the pails of milk, with which right if any of the masculine gender interfered, he became angry. It was his invariable custom to attend the yearly military regimental review, with his market basket in hand, and lay in a large stock of gingerbread, a part of which he distributed among his favorites of the female sex in his neighborhood—a card to each one. He was a tall, slim man, and was very irritable. He died at the house of Widow Folly Merriman, September 24th, 1840, aged 82 years.
