Biography

Jonathan was the son of Samuel & Sarah (Endicott) Hart

He married Mercy Hawkes in MA Bay - parents of Aaron, Sarah, Abigail, Samuel, John & Mary

Jonathan, the fourth son of Captain Samuel and Sarah Endicott Hart, was born on November 2, 1710, in Lynn, Massachusetts. Jonathan married Mercy Hawkes on March 2, 1735. The couple raised at least eight children. Jonathan died in 1790 and Mercy died in September of 1799.

In a will proved on February 11, 1731, Thomas Hart, Jonathan's uncle, left all of his lands in Lynn (later Lynnfield), Massachusetts to him in trust until he became twenty-one years of age. After their marriage, Jonathan and Mercy lived on this property and raised their family there. About 1763, they and four of their sons joined a group of Essex County, Massachusetts residents heading for Nova Scotia. Most of this party, including the Hartts, settled along the St. John River, in or near Maugerville, Sunbury County, Nova Scotia, later New Brunswick
