16238. John Smith was born in 1610/1640 in Middleton, Monmouth Co, Nj.
16262. Stephen Hart 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 was born 7, 8, 9 on 25 Jan 1601/1602 in St. Nicholas, Ipswiche, Suffolk, England. He was christened on 25 Jan 1601/1602 in St Nicholas, Ipswich, Suffolk, England. He died 10, 11, 12 in Mar 1681/1682 in Farmington, Hartford, Connecticut. He was buried in Farmington, Hartford, Connecticut. He married 13, 14 Margaret Farmington. [Parents]
"Deacon Stephen Hart, born about 1605, at Braintree, County of Essex, England, came thence to the Massachusetts Bay Colony about 1632, accompanied by his wife and daughters Sarah and Mary, and his sons John and Stephen. He is supposed to belong to the company that settled Braintree, Massachusetts. He located for a time in Newton (now Cambridge), where his first wife died. For his second wife he married Margaret Smith, widow of Arthur Smith. Mr. Hart was one of the fifty-four settlers at Cambridge, Mass., latter went to Hartford with the company of Rev. Thomas Hooker, in 1635, and was one of the original proprietors there in 1639." (1)
"in 1635 Newtown dispatched a committee of twelve "Venturers" to squat on such desirable land as might prove practicable, preferably near the Dutch House, and otherwise to prepare for a considerable settlement there the following year...
(Note) William de Loss Love: Colon. History of Hartford (1914) brings out that the Venturers left Newtown in October 1635, and were:... Stephen Hart." (4)
He is listed on a 1640 map of Hartford as having a large parcel near Sentinel (Centinel) Hill near the river in the northeast part of the settlement.
"The great migration came in the summer of 1636. Thomas Hooker, with his wife and the larger part of his congregation, driving their cattle before them, and following Indian trails to the river and there turning southward, finally reached a resting at what is now Hartford." (3)
"To all appearances the country west of the river beyond the settlements was unpromising. A great wilderness, beginning with the Talcott range, stretched indefinitely toward the horizon. A few enterprising traders had been up and down the Tunxis River and had marked off favorable spots for settlement, for the friendliness of the Tunxis Indians and the growing need of more spacious farms were leading them to find locations in that quarter. In 1640 certain ones of Hartford, Windsor and Wethersfield moved the (General) court for "some enlargement of accomodation" and the latter appointed a committee, two from each town, to "view these parts of Uncus Sepus" and make a report. In June the conditions of settlement were left in the hands of the particular court for completion, but it was not until 1645 that a name, Farmington, was found for the Tunxis plantation, bounds were determined on, a temporary recorder appointed, and the town vested with all the liberties of th other towns but warned not make orders among themselves contrary to the " fundament agreements" contained in the conditions of settlement." (2)
A map of the first settlement shows Stephen and John Hart with properties opposite the church yard in Farmington. (5)
"The settlers included... Stephen Hart." (6)
"In 1672 he became one of the 84 proprietors of Farmington, Connecticut. In 1647 he was a deputy to the General Court of Connecticut and continued to serve as such during most of the succeeding years up to 1660, from the town of Farmington. At the latter place he was one of the seven pillars of the church, and was chosen the first deacon. An extensive farmer, he became a man of influence, and was one of the leaders in the town." (1)
"a roster of (the Congregational Church of Farmington) membership dated March 1, 1679/80. Most of the communicants were shown with a number preceding their names, No. 1 being that of Deacon Hart and wife." (7)
"Deacon Stephen, b. 25 Jan 1602 St. Nicholas Parish, Ipswich, England and died March 1682 at Farmington, Hartford, CT. Deacon Stephen m/1 Elizabeth[sic- more likely her name was Sarah] in England and she was the mother of his children including Captain Thomas Hart b. 1644 probably in Hartford, CT. Deacon Stephen m/2 1679 in Farmington, Hartford, CT, Margaret Smith... There is a lot on the line of Stephen Hart in the Genealogical History of Deacon Stephen and His Descendants 1632 - 1875, by Alfred Andrews of New Britain, CT, published in Hartford, CT, 1875. More on the early Harts line is also available in One Bassett Family in America, by Buel Burdette Bassett of New Britain, CT, printed in 1926." (8)
