Mother: Susannah RICE |
The family moved to Orange County, N.C., in 1755 after their
father died. By 1779, Thomas had received a total of 2,282 acres
of land in grants and erected his home, Hartford, near
Hillsborough. In addition to farming, he built a gristmill on
the nearby Eno River and conducted other business enterprises at
the location that became known as Hart's Mill. Later he became a
partner with Nathaniel Rochester and James Brown in a mercantile
establishment in Hillsborough. After establishing himself
financially, Hart married Susannah Gray, the daughter of the
wealthy and politically prominent Colonel John Gray. In 1775,
the colonel died and left his entire estate to his son-in-law,
including the large plantation Grayfields. With capital
resources thus increased, Hart shrewdly expanded his business
and by his industrious management accumulated a considerable
fortune according to the Orange County tax books for 1779. In
addition to his financial prosperity, Hart was successful
politically. Shortly after settling in North Carolina, he became
an intimate of James Watson, James Thackston, Thomas Burke,
James Hogg, William Johnston, and Richard Henderson, and an
acquaintance of Governor William Tryon and Edmund Fanning. This
led to his appointment as a vestryman of St. Matthew's Parish as
well as county sheriff for a two-year term and another beginning
in 1768. In the latter year he was also made a captain in the
Orange County militia and commissary for the troops of Orange
and Granville counties.
Throughout his tenure of office, the sheriff was in constant
controversy with the increasingly active Regulators. In 1765,
the Assembly passed a bill introduced by Edmund Fanning to award
Hart £1,000 for his losses as sheriff, and the previous
legislature had included Hart in a group exempt from the payment
of taxes. These acts infuriated the Regulators, who claimed the
sheriff had no losses, but was being rewarded at public expense
for using his influence in the election of Fanning to office.
Hart also displeased the government by his failure to collect
the unpopular poll tax, either because he disapproved of the law
or did not understand it. In 1765, the Assembly ordered him to
make the collection. Whether or not he did, he settled his
financial account in the colony satisfactorily, which won for
him a tribute from Orange County residents because he was the
only sheriff ever to do so.
When Governor Tryon decided in 1768 to have Herman Husband
arraigned in court for his Regulator activities, Sheriff Hart
served the warrant and took the accused into custody. In the
same year, and again in 1771, Hart was ordered to raise five
hundred troops for the defense of the colony. He was unable to
enlist the requested manpower but on both occasions accumulated
sufficient provisions to sustain the troops Tryon assembled at
Hillsborough. The actions of the royal government increasingly
incited the wrath of the Regulators, and the sheriff was one of
a group of officials they severely whipped in 1770. In view of
such treatment, Hart undoubtedly received considerable
satisfaction in serving as quartermaster for Tryon when the
governor dispersed the Regulators at the Battle of Alamance.
During the relative calm that ensued after the War of the
Regulation, Hart was able to concentrate on business
enterprises. The role of an entrepreneur appealed to him, and in
1774 he became one of the partners in Richard Henderson's Louisa
Company to buy and develop lands in what became Tennessee and
Kentucky. Hart journeyed to the Watauga section of Tennessee as
one of the company's representatives at a meeting arranged by
Daniel Boone with the Cherokee Indians. John Sevier and Isaac
Shelby, who attended as spectators, saw the Indians accept
several loads of "trading goods" in return for their titular
rights to a huge area of western land. After this transaction,
the company was reorganized as the Transylvania Company with
Richard Henderson, Thomas Hart, Nathaniel Hart, William
Johnston, James Hogg, John Luttrell, John Williams, David Hart,
and Leonard Henly Bullock as shareholders. Trading with the
Indians for western lands strictly violated the Royal
Proclamation of 1763, but, as many Americans were engaging in
land speculation despite the king's fiat, the Transylvanians
ignored it also. The potential profit in the venture was
enormous, and the partners lost no time in enlisting settlers to
buy or rent land in the territory.
Thomas Hart visited the Watauga again in 1775 and his brother,
Nathaniel, became a resident agent for the company in the west
until he was killed by Indians in 1782. The outcome of the
American Revolution relieved the Transylvania Company of any
interference in its affairs from the British government but
presented a new dilemma because the states of North Carolina and
Virginia claimed Tennessee and Kentucky, respectively, as part
of their territory. The partners determined to establish their
claim to the western land if possible and years of litigation
followed. The final decision rendered that the company's
purchase was illegal but a tract was awarded the partners to
recompense them for the expenses incurred in the transaction.
Hart traded part of his share for land in Kentucky and
eventually settled on it.
After the War of the Regulation, Hart continued to fill an
important role in political affairs, serving as a juror; member
of a commission to build a new jail in Hillsborough; member of
the colonial Assembly from Orange County in 1773; and then
representative in the First, Second, and Third Provincial
congresses. When the Revolution began, he was appointed
commissary for the Sixth North Carolina Regiment with the rank
of colonel. In addition, he was elected a senator in the North
Carolina General Assembly for the 1777 session where he became
involved in the work of so many committees that he resigned his
military commission in order to attend to them. Although Hart,
with many others, could not condone the violent tactics of the
Regulators, he felt no compunction in becoming an ardent patriot
in the American Revolution when independence was formally
declared. In doing so, he incurred the hatred of the loyal
Tories who unleashed their persecutions when Lord Cornwallis
approached Hillsborough with the British Army. Concerned for the
safety of his wife and several daughters, Hart removed to
Hagerstown, Md., accompanied by Nathaniel Rochester, one of his
former business partners. Shortly after his departure the Battle
of Hart's Mill was fought on his property, which the British
occupied. Hart and Rochester built a mill and a nail and rope
factory, both of which prospered.
The colonel gradually disposed of his North Carolina property
and never returned to the state. He sold his homeplace,
Hartford, to Jesse Benton, husband of his niece, Nancy, and
father of Thomas Hart Benton. As the purchaser died before
paying for the place, Hart became the mortgagee of the property
through a friendly lawsuit and allowed the widow and her family
to continue to live there. The mortage was never fully redeemed,
which apparently caused no ill will as Hart left the Bentons an
additional tract of land when he died. In 1794, Hart moved to
Lexington, Ky., where he resided for the remainder of his life.
He built up his rope and hemp business into a highly profitable
commercial enterprise and engaged in various forms of trade and
investment. Due to his affluence, pleasing personality, and
shrewd mind, Hart soon became one of the most prominent men in
Kentucky.
His daughter, Ann (Nancy), married James Brown who had engaged
in business with the colonel and Rochester back in Hillsborough,
and who later became the U.S. minister to France.
Another daughter, Lucretia, born after the Harts left North
Carolina, married Henry Clay.
A niece married Isaac Shelby, and the other members of the
family made marital connections in influential circles.
In Maryland, Hart was a communicant of All Saints' Parish (later
renamed St. John's), of the Protestant Episcopal church. In
Kentucky, he joined an Episcopal society which eventually became
Christ Church in Lexington. He was buried in the Old Episcopal
Graveyard in that city. No portrait of Hart has been found."

ii. John Hart. John died September 3, 1820 in St. Louis, MO.
iii. Susanna Hart.
iv. Eliza Hart was born September 9, 1768.
v. Thomas Hart, Jr. was born 1772.
From http://www.airtanker.com/mcnally/index.html "In 1780
Thomas Hart moved from North Carolina to Hagerstown, Maryland,
where his two older daughters, Eliza and Susan, were married and
where Lucretia was born.
"In the spring of 1794 Thomas Hart wrote to Governor Blount of
Tennessee, who had married his wife's niece, 'You will be
surprised to hear I am going to Kentucky. Mrs. Hart, who for
eighteen years has opposed this measure, has now given her
consent and so we go, an old fellow of 63 years of age seeking a
new country to make a fortune in...
Another letter, written by Thomas Hart, dated Lexington,
Kentucky 1795 says, 'Oh, if my old friend Uncle Jacob Blount
were here! What a pleasure we would have in raking up money and
spending it with our friends -This is really one of the finest
countries in the world -The society is equal to that of any
interior town in the United States'. He did, indeed prosper."
(Simpson, Letters to)
"The fact that at a time when sailing vessels and clipper ships
ruled the seas, Colonel Hart supplied all the rope used by the
navy, proving that his cordage business was both extensive and
successful. He rapidly laid the foundation of an immense
fortune, comparable to the Vanderbilt wealth in New York".
(Schwartz)."
