He enlisted for military service against the country from which he had so recently migrated, and battled for six years for the freedom of the country of his adoption. He was a Trumpet Major in the 3rd Troop of Col. Sheldon's Dragoons and the date of his enlistment was April 8, 1777. He served his full term and was honorably dis­charged in 1783. He is described as having been five feet seven inches in height, of light eyes and hair and a light com­plexion. He was later a seafaring man, a ship owner and a ship's Captain, a vocation which was later followed by several of his descendants. In 1811, he, with Martin Warner, st., built a schooner of 170 tons burden, naming it after his eldest daughter "Nancy." During the war of 1812, it was fired upon by the British off Bridgeport, Conn., and badly dam­aged and set on fire. The flames were extinguished, how­ever, and the vessel saved. Later it was partly wrecked off the coast of Nantucket Island, but was again saved and re­paired. On Oct. 3, 1784, at Stonington, Conn., he was married to Anne, dau. of Asa and Mrs. Mary (Beebe) Elliott and granddaughter of Joseph and Johannah Elliott, the Rev. Nathaniel Eells officiating. She was b. Derby, Conn., Feb. 23, 1758, and d. Derby, Conn., Mar. 4, 1827. She was [xiii] buried in the Long Hill Burying Ground, Shelton, Conn., and her grave is marked by a stone with the following in­scription: "This is erected by George L. Hart in sacred remembrance of his Mother, Anne Hart, who departed this life March 4, 1827, aged 69 years, 9 days." He d. Huntington, Conn., July 15, 1817, and was buried in the same Burying Ground. His grave is marked by a stone inscribed as follows: "In memory of Captain Lewis Hart, who died July 15, 1817, aged 61 years." Joseph and Johannah Elliott had a family of ten chil­dren, recorded in the Church Records of Stonington, Conn., as follows: i. John, bapt. Aug. 18, 1723, ii. Anna, bapt. Aug. 18, 1723, iii. Dorothy, bapt. July 18, 1725, iv. Asa, bapt. Oct. 22, 1727, v. Zebulon, bapt. Mar. 5, 1730, vi. Joseph, bapt. Aug. 6, 1732, vii. Deborah, bapt. May 11, 1740, viii. William, bapt. Nov. 22, 1741 (m.

The parents and all of the eight eldest children were baptized by the Rev. Ebenezer Rossiter. The remaining two were baptized by the Rev. Nathaniel Eells. ASA ELLIOTT and MARY BEEBE were married June 21, 1753, and had children, all born at Derby, Conn., as follows: [ xiv ] i. Joseph, b. Mar. 28, 1754, ii. Mary, b. Oct. 17, 1755, iii. Anne, b. Feb. 23, 1758, iv. Asa, Jr., b. July 7, 1760, v. John, b. Jan. 23, 1763, vi. John 2nd, b. July 12, 1765, vii. dark, b. Sept. 2, 1768. LEWIS HART lived at Stonington, Conn., until about 1790, when he moved to Huntington, Conn., where his four youngest children were born. The records of Stonington disclose the purchase and sale of several pieces of real estate, and the following is the copy of a deed to the property which he acquired at Huntington, Conn., which is probably the same property of which he died possessed: Know ye that we, Abijah Beardsley and Elizabeth Ann Beardsley, his wife, of Huntington in Fairfield Co., State of Connecticut, for the consideration of one hundred and thirty Pounds lawful money Received to my Satisfaction of Lewis Hart of Stonington and State aforesaid.

He had been formerly a sea faring man and upon his arrival in Buffalo he at once engaged in shipping. An obituary notice in the Buffalo Express of Oct. 17, 1873, recites that "for thirty-four years, in fair weather and foul, under canvas and steam, he sailed the Great Lakes until he was about the best known as well as the most successful ship master in the service. Many a thrilling tale could the Captain tell of the hardships and dangers with which those years were crowded. And many a yarn will old lake sailors spin to this day about episodes and adventures of which the honest Captain was the hero." "Subsequent to 1864 he gave up sailing and became an active partner in the house of Newman and Scovill, ship chandlers of this city. After four or five years in the busi­ness, he went into the banking and brokerage business under the firm name of E. G. Strong and Co., which afterwards became A. E. Hart and Co., retiring finally in 1871." He was a large man, large hearted, hospitable and pos­sessed a genial personality which won him hosts of friends. They had one daughter: Hannah Ann, b. Buffalo, N. Y., June 30, 1830; m. (i) Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 17, 1851, Wil- [2] liam Rufus, son of and ( ) Harvey. They were the first couple married in the new St. Paul's Church. He was b. He d.

His ancestors had lived among the rugged hills of Windham, Litchfield and Fairfield Counties, Con­necticut, and there seems, in the course of his ancestral generations, to have infused themselves into their very blood such a fondness for the soil and such a tendency towards the pursuit of agriculture, that an unusually large percentage of his descendants in the succeeding generations have fol­lowed in his footsteps and developed into successful farmers. Patriotism has likewise been a family trait. The father and eldest brother, Orange, served in the War of the Revolution, and many of his descendants enlisted for service in the War of the Rebellion and in the recent European struggle. His parents were likewise alive to the advantages of an educa­tion, and Martin Warner was evidently put through preparatory schools and later finished his education at Yale College. The first few years thereafter he engaged in ship­building and manufacturing, but in 1803, following his [3] marriage, he began farming on a thirty-three acre farm near Brookfield, Fairfield County, Conn. In April, 1815, he moved to Derby, Conn., and in 1822, to Rochester, N. Y. In 1824, with five sons and five daughters, he moved to Buffalo, N. Y., and from thence to Lyons, N. Y., where he was a building contractor. In 1826, he moved to Rose Valley, Wayne County, N. Y., and engaged in farming. In 1833, accompanied by his family, his son Elliott, his son-in-law James Barbour, and their families, he moved to Wash­ington Township, Wood County, Ohio, making the trip from Buffalo to Perrysburg on one of Captain Asa Elliott Hart's schooners. There he became the head of the Mau-mee Valley branch of the Warner family. In the winter of 1833-34, he built a log cabin in Section 12 of Washing­ton Township, Wood County, Ohio. A few years later he built a frame house (now standing and in good repair), where he resided until his death. There were then no schools nor churches in the township outside of Perrysburg. In 1836 he built a frame Presbyterian church (still stand­ing) in Section 12 of Plain Township, being assisted, among others, by his sons Elliott and Martin and his son-in-law James Barbour. It was the habit of the Warner family to attend this church for morning and afternoon service on Sunday, going in a farm wagon drawn by an ox team. Mar­tin Warner and James Minton were its first deacons. All of his sons were well educated and became leaders in church and civic affairs, and were men of character and influence.

He was well educated, and possessed at an early age exceptional business ability. That he was highly re­garded as a man and a citizen is evidenced by the fact that he was elected Town Clerk of Washington Township for twenty-four consecutive years He was one of the founders and a devout member of the Presbyterian Church of Ton­togany.

In 1831 they moved with Martin Warner to Wood County, Ohio, and settled in Perrysburg, Ohio, on the Maumee River about ten miles above the present city of Toledo, which was at that time a swamp. Perrysburg had been located as the future city and port to be established at the western end of Lake Erie. Later it transpired that the site for the future city had been located too far from the mouth of the Maumee, and a settlement was begun on the north side of the river near its mouth—now Toledo. Martin Warner pushed his way some twelve miles fur­ther up, and about three miles back from the river, and with his large family settled in a section then known as the Black Swamp. Eliza (Warner) Brown was a woman of rare attainments and large charities. She lost her life, the victim of a prevailing epidemic, stricken while engaged in the care of others.
