REUBEN HART, farmer, P.O. Brimfield, was born in Goshen, Litchfield Co.,
Conn., May 2, 1803, son of Reuben and Ruth (Ives) Hart and grandson of
Nathaniel Hart of Wallingford, Conn., a carpenter and cabinet-maker by
trade.  Our subject was reared on his father’s farm in Goshen, Conn., and
learned the carpenter’s trade of his father, which occupation he followed
many years after he came to Brimfield Township.  He settled here in 1826 on
the farm now occupied by his son Charles, where he resided up to 1864, when
he purchased the farm adjoining, and here he has lived ever since.  Mr. Hart
was married July 2, 1829, to Nancy A., daughter of Jonathan and Mary
(Hotchkiss) Law, formerly of Woodbridge, Conn., who settled in Brimfield
Township, this county, in 1818, and to this union have been born four
children, two of whom are now living:  Charles and Lois (Mrs. Edwin J.
Glass).  Charles married Eleanor Stillwell, of Brimfield Township, this
county, October 27, 1863, and had four children, three of whom are now
living:  M. Gertrude, Harry S. and Jennie L.  Mr. and Mrs. Hart are members
of the Methodist Episcopal Church.  He has filled several offices in the
gift of his township, and served as Justice of the Peace one term.  In
politics he is a Republican.
