    "9. Capt. John Hart, of Farmington, eldest son of John Hart and Sarah, his wife, (who were burned to death by the burning of their house, in 1666,) born in Farmington, about 1655, and baptized there April 2d, 1655, married ____, Mary, daughter of Deacon Isaac Moore, of Farmington, and both were admitted to the church there Nov. 24th, 1686. He was one of the appraisers of his uncle Stephen Hart's estate in 1689. In May, 1695, he was confirmed by the General Court ensign of the Farmington train-band, and in October, 1703, was commissioned lieutenant, and subsequently promoted captain. He was for four successive years (1702-5,) a deputy from Farmington to the General Court, and was appointed in May, 1705, one of the auditors of the colony. When his father's house was burned by the Indians, he was absent from home, and thus providentially saved to be the progenitor of a numerous posterity. The offices and honors thus bestowed upon him indicate that he stood high in the community. Capt John Hart died in Farmington, Nov. 11th, 1714, aged 60 years; his wife died Sept. 19th, 1738, aged 74 years."
