"Edward Hart, son
of John 2nd., carpenter, m. May 17, 1712 at Newtown, L.I., Martha Furman,
dau. of Josiah Furman, 2nd. (This is recorded pg. 29, New York
Genealogical and Biographical Society, Collections 8-A list of all marriages
Recorded on the Books of the Newtown Presbyterian Church of Elmhurst, L.I.
from 1709 to 1881.
The record is:
Edw. Hart of Hopewell, N.J. and Martha Furman, May 17, 1712." (HOR p.10) |

"On June 25, 1746 ex-Governor John Hamilton of N.J. then Commander-in Chief
of the Province of New Jersey gave a warrant to Edward Hart to raise one
hundred men to join an expedition against Canada. Edward Hart was to
be their Captain. (Ege's "Pioneers of Old Hopewell", pgs. 176, 177.)
It has often been stated that this group of men raised
by Edward Hart was called "The Jersey Blues", first so-called. Col. C.
M. B. Gilman has written "The Story of the Jersey Blues" in which he states
"The Jersey Blues were organized as a military unit at Piscataway, N. J. in
1673".
Edward Hart d. before July 20, 1752, date inventory was
taken. (In custody of the Bureau of Archives and History, Division of
State Library, in State House Annex, Trenton New Jersey). He
apparently had disposed of much of his property before his death as the
inventory list was small. A drum, Sword, two Bibles, and a Dictionary
were among his possessions - total value of inventory, 73 pounds, 4
shillings, 9 pence.
Edward's wife, Martha, was still living when John Hart,
the Signer, made his will on April 16, 1779." (HOR p.11) |
