      From "A record of the Hart family of Philadelphia..." by Thomas Hart 1920

      "Jean Hart seems to have had trouble in disposing of some of her husband's property, while acting as administrix of his estate..." She petitioned the court several times for permission to sell property in order to pay debts of the estate. The property which was not sold wa conveyed by her and the other heirs to her son Samuel.

      Jean survived James for some thirty years.
    • Plumsteadville is the most flourishing village in the township. In 1762 it was known as James Hart's tavern, and was but a crossroads hostelry.

      ifty years ago it had but one dwelling, owned and occupied by John Rodrock as a public house, who was the proprietor of about 300 acres of land in that immediate vicinity. The house, a low, two- story, was recently torn down by John Shisler. After the decease of Mr. Rodrock the property was sold in lots, some of it bringing but eight dollars an acre. Forty-five years ago all the corn and fodder raised on a ten-acre field, adjoining the Rodrock farm was hauled home at two loads. The village contains about twenty-five dwellings, with tavern, store, and a brick church, Presbyterian, built in 1860. It is the seat of the extensive carriage factory of Aaron Kratz, which employs about fifty men. Point Pleasant, which lies partly in Tinicum and partly in Plumstead, will be noticed in our account of the former township.
