Children
*******************************************
William and Elizabeth Hart had eight children, six of whom married.
1. Jane Hart the eldest child, born June 28, l779, married Joseph Carr of Warwick township, she was the grandmother of Miss Josephine S. Carr and John Hart Carr of Philadelphia.
2. John Hart born December l7, l780, never married, died r.7, l8ll, and is buried at Neshaminy;
3. Mary Hart born February l9, l783, married her second cousin, Samuel Hart, the son of Colonel Joseph and Elizabeth Hart.
4. Colonel Joseph Hart was the son of William Hart and Margaret Means, She died February 8, l828, Their children will be spoken of in a subsequent chapter,
5. James Means Hart, born March 6, l785, married Jane Baird of Warwick. He died January 7, l844,
6. Grizelda Hart, born March l0, l787, remained a spinster all her life and died April 5, l368, at the age of eighty-one; she is buried at Neshaminy. She was named after her grandmother on her mother's side, William Hart born January 4, l789, married, Martha Carr, he died February 23, l855.
7. Joseph Hart, born November 9, l790, married Mary Carr, the sister of his brother's wife. Martha and Mary Carr were the daughters of Adam and Frances Carr of Warwick. Joseph Hart died November 4, l873.
8. Elizabeth Hart, the youngest of the family, was born April l4, l794, and married her first cousin* William Hart, the son of John and Mary Hart; she died December 2l, l862.
Thus we find from these six marriage, two Harts married two Harts, one a first cousin, the other a second cousin, and that two brothers married two sisters. All of which, to say the least is somewhat uncommon of occurrence.
It has been incorrectly stated that Colonel Hart married Grizelda Patterson: this is of course, altogether wrong, as Grizelda Patterson married John Means, and it was their daughter, Elizabeth, whom Colonel Hart married. This fact is stated merely to prevent any possible confusion as there are in existence several unaccounted for "trees" of the family with such a mistake upon them.
