General Notes: Husband - John Hart

He removed to near Chester, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, but about 1777 returned to Warminster, and in 1779 was made county treasurer, and removed to Newtown, then the county seat. In 1781 he was the victim of the celebrated robbery, by the notorious outlaws known as the "Doan Boys," their leader being Moses Doan, and lost £735 of the public money; the legislature passing a bill for its repayment after his death.
