DEACON STEPHEN HART Braintree, Eng; Cambridge, Mass.; Hartford and Tunxis, Conn.
Deacon Stephen Hart, son of ? ,
and his wife, ? , born about 1605, at
Braintree, in Essex County, Eng. He
came from there to Massachusetts
Bay about 1632, and located for a
time at (Newtown,) Cambridge,
Mass.; married ? . She died ? ,
when second he married Margaret,
the widow of Arthur Smith, and
daughter of ? . She survived Deacon
Hart, and was admitted to the
church in Farmington, March 17th,
1690-1. She died in 1693. Deacon
Hart and his first wife were
constituent members of the church
in Farmington, organized November,
1652, with Rev. Roger Newton
pastor. Mr. Hart had been deacon of
Rev. Thomas Hooker's church, at
Cambridge, Mass., and at Hartford,
Conn. He was one of the fifty-four
settlers at Cambridge, Mass., was a
proprietor at Hartford in 1639, and
became one of the eighty-four
proprietors of Farmington in 1672. In
1647 he was one of the "deputyes"
of the General Court of Connecticut,
at their May session. In 1653 he
was appointed a comissioner, by
the General Court, for the Town of
Farmington, to aid the constable in
impressing men into the army, then
being raised.
Stephen hart is supposed to have
come from Braintree, Essex County,
England, with the company that
settled Braintree, Mass., and
subsequently removed to Newtown,
since called Cambridge, and
constituted the church of which Rev.
Thomas Hooker was invited from
England to become their pastor. He
was in Cambridge in 1632, and
admitted a freeman there, May 14th,
1634. He came to Hartford with Mr.
Hooker's company in 1635, and was
one of the original proprietors of that
place. His house lot was on the
west side of what is now called
Front Street, near where Morgan
Street crosses it, and there is a
tradition that the town was called
from the ford he discovered and
used in crossing the Conecticut
River at a low stage of the water,
and so from Hart's Ford it soon
became Hartford, from a natural and
easy transition. Tradition further
says that as he and others were on
a hunting excursion on Talcott
Mountain, they discovered the
Farmington River Valley, then
inhabited by the Tunxis, a powerful
tribe of Indians. The meadows were
probably then cleared, and waving
with grass and Indian corn. Such
lands were then much needed and
coveted by the settlers, who soon -
probably as soon as 1640 - made a
bargain with the Indians, and settled
among them with their cattle. They
still continued, however, connected
with the settlement at Hartford,
attended public worship, and
prehaps wintered there, until about
1645, when the town was
incorporated by the name of
Farmington, from the excellent
farms there. (The Principal leaders
in this settlement were John Steele,
William Lewis, Stephen Hart,
Thomas Judd, John Bronson, John
Warner, Nathaniel Kellogg, Thomas
Barnes, Richard Seymour, and
Thomas Gridley.) About this time
Mr. Roger Newton, a student in
theology with Rev. Thomas Hooker,
whose daughter he married, began
to preach for them, and in 1652 was
ordained their pastor. Stephen Hart
was one of the seven pillars of the
church, and was chose their first
deacon. The other pilars were Rev.
Roger Newton, pastor, John Cole
(Cowles), John Bronson, Robert
Porter, Thomas Judd, and Thomas
Thomson.
Stephen Hart appears to have taken
the lead in the settlement among
the Indians in Farmington, and
purchased a large tract on the
border of the present town of Avon,
and known to this day by the name
of Hart's farm. (Probably located at
or near what is now called Cider
brook, on the east side of the river,
and near the bridge, some three
miles north of Farmigton Village.)
He was one of the first
representatives in 1647, and
continued, with one exception, for
fifteen sessions, until 1655, and
once in 1660. In short, no man in
the town was more active,
influential, and useful. His
house-lot, which was four or five
times as large as any other, was on
the west side of Main Street, in the
village, opposite the meeting house,
and contained fifteen acres,
exending from Mill Lane to the stone
store south. This large house-lot
was granted to Deacon Stephen
Hart as an inducement to erect and
continue a mill on the premises, to
be perpetuated and kept in motion.
The mill was erected originally by
the Bronsons, to whom, as a
consideration, was granted, viz: a
tract of eighty acres, on the
Pequabuk River, now known as the
"Eighty Acres." The south part of
this house-lot he gave to his son
John, and the north part to his son
Thomas. Thomas gave it to his son
Josiah, and it descended to the wife
of Roger Hooker, his only surviving
child, and to her only son, Thomas
Hart Hooker, who sold it to Samuel
Deming. The Demings and their
descendants hold it to this day -
1874. These lots and lands, in
some respects, are the most
desirable and valuable of any in the
old town of Farmington. He was a
representative to the General Court
of Connecticut in 1647, and most of
the succeeding years to 1660, from
the town of Farmington. His widow,
Margaret, gave her property to her
sons, John and Arthur Smith, and
daughter, Elizabeth Thompson. She
had grandchildren - Elizabeth, John,
and Ann Thompson.
Deacon Hart's Will was dated March
16th, 1682-3. He mentions the farm
he formerly gave his three sons,
John, Steven, and Thomas, viz:
one-half to John, one-fourth to
Stephen, and one-fourth to Thomas.
Item. - I give my sons, Steven and
Thomas, and my daughters, Sarah
Porter and Mary Lee, my Swamp Lot
in the great Swamp, (The Great
Swamp means Kensington Parish,
now part of Berlin) and all my
uplands to be equally divided
between them. Item. - I give my
grandchild, Dorothy Porter, 10
pounds. Item. - I give my
grandchild, John Lee, 3 pounds.
Item. - I give my grandchild, John
Hart, my eldest son's son, 3
pounds. Item. - I give my beloved
wife, +c.
The Inventory was taken by Thomas
Hart and John Hart, Selectmen.
Issac Moore and Benjamin Judd,
Appraisers. Taken March 31st,
1682-3.
Amount 340 pounds, 4s. House and
homestead, 70 pounds; land at Nod,
east of river, 40 pounds.
Deacon Hart was a farmer and large
land-holder, located in the village of
Farmington, and was a man of great
influence, and a leading character.
He died March, 1682-3, aged 77
years.
Deacon at Rev. Thomas Hooker's church at Cambridge, MA & Hartford, CT.
