MISCELLANEOUS HARTS NOT OF DEACON STEPHEN HART.

“Isaac Hart came over in 1637, as a servant of Richard Carver, and stopped first at Watertown. He was at Lynn in 1640, and removed to Reading in 1647. His wife’s name was Elizabeth. Their children were—Elizabeth, born in 1651, and married in 1667, in Malden, John Winborn; Samuel, born in 1656; Adam, born in 1666; Reuben, died in 1670. He first settled in the south part of that town, near and west of the present site of the Congregational meeting-house, and removed to North Reading.” (From a Deed, July 6th, 1703.)

“Adam Hart married Elizabeth Colston, daughter of Adam Colston, and Adam Hart was made guardian to Mary Colston.” (Genealogical History of the town of Reading, Mass., by Hon. Lilley Eaton, page 85.)

MRS. RUTH (COLE) HART, widow of General Selah Hart, No. 41, page 57, gave to the ecclesiastical society of Kensington, Conn., in March, 1837, the sum of $500, to re-model and modernize their meeting-house, provided the society would add to it an equal sum. At a legal meeting held on the above date the society appointed Benjamin Allen, Esq., as moderator, when, on motion, the Society voted to accept the gift with the conditions annexed, and appointed Colonel Isaac Botsford, Linas Cowles, and Roswell Moore, Jr., a committee to thank her for the gift, and laid a tax of ten cents on a dollar of each man’s list to raise the money to fulfill the condition.
