Captain Hart was a native the State of New Jersey, where, during the
French and Indian War, previous to the American Revolution, he raised
a company of men and was commissioned Captain.  He was with General
Wolf's Army at the battle of Quebec, in Canada, in 1759, where that
gallant young General fell.  Captain Hart's company behaved with great
gallantry on that occasion, and the men, who were dressed in blue uni-
forms, were afterwards known as the "Jersey Blues".  Honest John Hart,
as he was called, was a son of Captain Hart, and one of the signers of
the Declaration of Independence.  Nathaniel, the fourth son of Honest
John Hart, settled in Mason County, KY., in 1795.  His son, also named
Nathaniel, was born May 5, 1794, and came to Missouri in 1819.  He 
settled first in St. Charles County, where he remained one year, and
then, in 1820, removed to Warren County, and settled near Pinckney; 
where, on March 6, 1823, he was married to Unity L. Marshall, daughter
of John Marshall, of Montgomery County, KY., who was one of the first
settlers of Warren County.  Mr. Hart is now living in Boone County, in
his eighty third year.  He had several children, but they all died in
infancy, except two sons, Joseph E. and Alfred H., who also live in 
Boone County.  He has in his possession a cane that belonged to his
grandfather, Honest John Hart.
