Capt. Nathaniel G. T. Hart, Lawyer and Merchant, was born in Hagerstown, 
Maryland, and brought, while a boy, by his father, Col. Thomas Hart, to 
Lexington, Kentucky. He studied law, and practiced his profession for several 
years at Lexington; but finally abandoned the law for mercantile pursuits. In 
1812, he commanded the "Lexington Light Infantry," with which he entered the 
service of the country; served a part of the Winter campaign of that year as a 
staff officer; commanded his company at the battle of Frenchtown, on the river
Raisin, January 22, 1813; was wounded and taken prisoner, and was murdered
during the subsequent massacre. In honor of him, Hart County was named.
Capt. Hart left a wife, who was Miss Ann Gist. She died shortly after his
own tragic death. Their son, Henry Clay Hart, was long a resident of Paris,
Kentucky.
