BIRTH-SPOUSE-DEATH-BIOGRAPHY: HISTORY OF SHIAWASSEE & CLINTON COUNTIES MICHIGAN; ; Philadelphia, D.W. Ensign & Co, 1880; pp 250, 257; in poss of Tad D. Campbell, Gilroy CA; NOTE: He was the earliest settler in New Haven Twp., Shiawassee Co MI. He came from Monroe Co MI in 1836 and entered 480 acres of land on various sections of the township. He gave 80 acres to each of his four sons and settled on 160 acres in section 35. By the end of the first year he had improved 10 acres, a portion of which was sown with wheat. His nearest neighbor was four miles away. The first marriage in New Haven Twp occurred at his home (being the marriage of his daughter Nancy Hart to Thomas R. Young) and the first death in New Haven Twp occurred in his family (his son Robert C. Hart in 1848). Horace Hart survived to an advanced age and died in 1867 at the home of his son, Joseph W. Hart, who located in the east portion of the township. "In 1837 occurred an incident which for a brief time caused some consternation in the neighborhood immediately adjacent. Miss Nancy Hart and a younger sister, aged five years, while strolling in the woods lost their way, and from Sabbath morning until the following evening no trace of the wanderers could be discovered. The settlers for miles around joined in the search, and they were at last discovered two and a half miles from the paternal roof nearly exhausted with hunger and fright. "The second of the earlier pioneers who found a home in New Haven was Richard Freeman, an Englishman by birth, who came to Michigan very soon after his arrival from the shores of Great Britain. Peter Reid, a resident of the city of New York, purchased one hundred and sixty acres on section 20, upon which he placed Mr. Freeman, who began at once the work of clearing, the township at that time being totally destitute of any suggestions of civilization other than were indicated by the small opening made by Horace Hart. . . . . " "At the house of Richard Freeman was held the earliest township meeting, the voters on that occasion being Horace Hart, Lewis Hart, William Durkee, Humphrey Wheeler, Richard Freeman, John Dunlap, and Spencer W. Stout. . . ." -------------- From "History of Shiawassee & Clinton Counties," Michigan, D.W. Ensign & Co., Philadelphia, 1880, p. 257, comes the following from a biography of Horace Hart's grandson, Wellman Hart: "Of the family history of Wellman Hart we have the following record. Horace, with his third wife, came from Monroe Co., Mich., to Shiawassee County, and made the first settlement in the town of New Haven, said location being on section 36. Their family consisted of seven children, six by first marriage, �Robert, Joel, Lewis, Roscanna, Joseph W., and Nancy, �by the second, Josephine. In the course of human events the surviving children had departed the old home to establish their own. Joseph W. located eighty acres on section 19, with whom the parents lived and passed their closing days. Horace Hart was born June 3, 1785; and died in March, 1867. Mrs. Hart continued with them until Feb. 23, 1874. Of their family but one is now living, Mrs. Nancy Youngs[sic], of Caledonia. . ." [Researched by Tad D. Campbell, Gilroy CA].
MARRIAGE: Barnett, Hannah married Hart, Horace on 8 Dec 1828 in Monroe County, Michigan.
