Research Notes
Re: John Hart/Eleanor Crispin's children? By Mike Thorne March 16, 2002 http://www.genealogy.coaker.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/hart/6471/
Below is a two generation descendant tree from William Hart, 1717-1799. I have been unable to find Wm's parents or roots although I suspect he may have been a cousin to John (this is ONLY speculation based on time frames for the known tree that John SDI came from and the dead-end lines that my William MAY have come from).As to Virginia (& WVA), I have nothing at present to link this family to those areas although the close proximity might have take some there.My data for 3 generations doesn't show anyone going to these states but then I have a lot of people in the 3rd generation that I really don't know where they died/ended up.Also, I don't show any Collette's in my data.For what it's worth, here's a short tree.Good luck, Mike
