LETTER
9 Sep 1992 from M Margaret BUCK Boyd, Wichita KA
to Jerry DEVOL, Marietta OH
"Dear Mr Devol,
"My apologies for such an oversight and for being quite tardy with my reply.
"Everything I have researched for James Kelly and his wife Anna Hart seemed to point to Connecticut as her place of birth, but I found her name only and that was on the marriage record 17 Mar 1774 and in Worcester MA.
"I read everything on the Hart family that came my way. I feel somewhat exasperated as to the recording of their daughters names and dates, unless she made a brilliant marriage, they are listed 'as others'. I have to admit it has caused me no end of imagining clues. So when I read Deacon/Dr Josiah Hart moved to Marietta in 1796, shortly after Joseph Kelly's return from captivity, I grasped that as a connection, but I have yet to find my proof!
"My Hart family History and Genealogy is headed by Deacon Stephen Hart b 1606 England. My record being of the first few generations, has not supplied me with sufficient information.
"Deacon Elijah Hart Jr b 26 Sep 1735 m Sarah Gilbert Abt 1758- they settled on the 'old Hart-Kelly-Irving farm house' that, in 1924 was the residence of Maurice Stanley in Farmington CT. This record states 6 children only- no names! This Elijah Hart d 10 Dec 1800 age 65 and Sarah's demise was 22 Sep 1809 age 73. Their ages caused my thought process to decide Anna Hart Kelly and her younger children went back to CT after Elijah's death to be of assistance to Sarah's last years.
"It would seem that one member of Deacon Stephen's heirs is of little notice. it states John Hart died in a house fire with all his family except a son John, who was away on business in Adon or Nod as it was then called. John was the father of three but no dates so John had to have reached 'his majority' as they said in that day and time or indentured. He was mentioned in Stephen Sr's will as an heir receiving L3.
"By now you are thoroughly confused I'm sure, I did not intend such a letter, but I should have known I'd do it for I am so 'caught up' in this quandry.
"Does your family history by Deacon Stephen Hart give more detail on the other family members as well as his own line of descent? Would you search that paper for Anna Hart b Abt 1752 etc? I do thank you. Sincerely M Margaret Buck Boyd..."
