The mother of Mrs. Hart, who was born in the town of Jamaica, Windham County, Vt., June 11. 1797, died at the family home at Rochester, Ohio, May 18, 1877. She was the mother of six children, namely: De Grass, Orin, Mynette, Janet, Julia M. and Mary J.

Mrs. Hart's maternal grandfather, whose name was Jonathan Crapo, was of good old New England stock and was a native of Rhode Island. He was a pioneer of Vermont and also of Jefferson County, N. Y., where he settled in 1804. He carried on farming there until his removal to the forest wilds of Ashland County. Ohio, in 1835.

He was one of the early settlers of Sullivan Township, that county, where he bought a farm, on which he lived until his life was rounded out by death at a ripe old age. He was a gallant soldier of the Revolution. His wife, whose maiden name was Cecilia Clark, also died on the home farm in Sullivan Township.[19]
