"John R. Totten in his article on the family of Richardl Dart of New London, Conn., in the New York Gen. and Biog. Record [58:24-5, 30-1], states that Daniel2 Dart married 4 Aug. 1686 Elizabeth Douglas and had 13 children, among whom were:
Thomas, the eldest, b. 8 July 1687; m. 8 May 1717 Elizabeth Turner, believed by Capt. Totten to be the Elizabeth Dart who m. 31 May 1726 John Hazen. One Dart child: Elizabeth, bapt. 17 Aug. 1718. …
Certain records have been overlooked in the printed account. Colonial Records of Connecticut [6:176] show that on 12 May 1720 authority was given to Elizabeth Dart of New London to sell land which had been given to her husband, Thomas Dart, 'who went to sea in December 1718 [and] hath not been since heard of,' for payment of charges for support of herself and child and 'towards the further charge of bringing up her child.' This indicates the loss of Thomas at sea, and leaves Elizabeth (Turner) Dart available in ample time for the second marriage in 1726 to John Hazen. It should be noted that Hempstead's Diary [170] distinctly calls Elizabeth a widow in mentioning the publishment of her intended marriage to Hazen on 22 May 1726. The Hazen Genealogy, by Tracy E. Hazen (1947, p. 36) therefore errs in stating that the second wife of John3 Hazen was the daughter of Daniel Dart born 14 Oct. 1689."
