Humphreys: Antebellum Belle to Equal Rights Activist, 1830-1907, published in the Filson Club History Quarterly, Vo. 65, No. 2 (April, 1991) by Mary G. McBride and Ann M. McLaurin. This is too lengthy to copy and is under copyright. I will quote a few brief excerpts from it: "Although the biography of Sarah Thompson Gibson Humphreys seems to illustrate the development of a daughter of the planter class from antebellum belle to equal rights activist, by her own account Sarah was never intended by circumstances of heredity or education to be a conventional belle. Descended from a distinguished Southern family, Sarah was the daughter of Tobias Gibson of Mississippi and Louisiana Breckinridge Hart of Kentucky. In an undated autobiographical fragment written late in her life, Sarah described her mother, daughter of Nathaniel Hart and Susan Preston of "Spring Hill," Woodford County, Kentucky, as a woman of "masculine intellect, great force of character and strength of will." Of Tobias Gibson, Sarah wrote: My father Tobias Gibson came of a long line of clergymen who were the pioneers of Methodism in the South. My father was a man of accurate education, of unusual culture and of broad ideas, far in advance of his time. Although by inheritance a large slave owner he was at heart opposed to slavery. He was also that anomaly amongst Southern men a "Woman Suffragist." He believed and taught me to believe that "taxation without representation" was as unjust to women as to men and he educated me up to the idea that our advancing civilization would sooner or later demand not only the political enfranchisement of women but their equal share in the control of the government. The family divided its time between its Louisiana sugar plantations and its home in Lexington, Kentucky. Sarah's earliest memories were of the suffering of the Indians and the slaves. She described her mother's naming the town of Houma, Louisiana, in commemoration of the Indians who lived there and remembered "the straggling Indians of this tribe who used to come to my mother to exchange their beaded wares for food and blankets. My child's heart was always touched with sympathy for them as I listened to my mother's stories of their wrongs, suffered at the hands of the whites." Sarah felt "tenderest sympathy for the Negroes; in fact at that early age I so hated slavery of every kind that I constantly surprised our Negroes by refusing the birds, squirrels, fawns and young alligators which they brought to me for pets. I could not bear to see anything caged. ... Widowed at thirty-three, Sarah was left with three children, aged nine, five, and four, with a large estate to manage in the midst of a civil war in which four of her surviving five brothers were actively engaged. Her younger sister had been sent to France in late 1863 for the duration of the war while her father struggled to keep his plantation afloat in occupied Louisiana. She joined him there for a few months in 1864, for he was convinced that leaving his land meant losing it. Sarah observed at first hand her father's attempt to work with the Union commanders in establishing a labor system utilizing the former slaves whose legal status was still so ambiguous in Louisiana. The Federal provost marshall provided the Gibsons with a guard, but in March the Negroes rebelled and sixteen of them left the Gibson plantations for Tigerville and Houma. Soon after she returned to Kentucky, Sarah's father-in-law died, and she was left with few sources of advice and support. ... Sarah placed no credence whatsoever in the popular idea that men and women should occupy separate (and probably unequal) spheres: We need each other. God never intended that we should occupy different spheres. He did not put women in Venus and man in Mars or Jupiter. We find ourselves on this earth together--dependent one upon the other. We are born alike--we die alike. We should live alike. Sarah cited Biblical scholarship to argue that "God is male and female," noting that Arabic and Hebrew scholars revealed that the words for the Holy Ghost and the Holy Spirit were always feminine in the original texts. God thus created "the Almighty Us--male and female and called their name Adam--giving both the same name, being the same person- two in one, yet a unit." When the male and female Adam did not obey, God performed a second creation in which Adam was given form and woman created, "so that they might be company and help for each other." Sarah argued, however, that "only equal halves make a whole" and that equal rights were thus essential to both men and women. Just as she rejected the idea of separate spheres, Sarah denied the Victorian ideal of the "womanish woman." She expressed scorn for "conservative and conventional society ladies, and our weak-nerved, weak-kneed and weak-brained" ladies who could do nothing on their own and needed the protection of men. On an issue such as the use of firearms, for example, Sarah was contemptuous of women who did not know how to handle a gun. Some women, believing in chivalry rather than justice, pictured "men as knights.., wandering over the world with lance and battle ax in quest of foes to fight for her sweet sake." Not so, Sarah declared, for "the rustle of angel's wings possesses no terrors for mortal man. No, my dear sweet womanly women and lady-like sisters, it don't scare worth a cent." A good Smith and Wesson pistol is better protection than a pair of angel's wings, Sarah wrote, and "it is safer to fire a pistol than fly with your wings": My daughters and myself have lived for years alone in an isolated country home, both in Louisiana and Kentucky, and enjoyed a sense of perfect security from the fact that our pistols were always ready and in reach, and that we knew how to use them, and it was generally believed that we would use them, which knowledge is in itself a protection. Sarah argued that women should carry firearms even if the law did not sanction it. She concluded that "firearms in the hands of women will help to civilize our State.'' ...

Nathaniel Hart was a member of the Transylvania Company and was one of the purchasers of some 20 million acres of land in Kentucky and Tennessee from the Indians in 1775. He was one of the original settlers at Boonesborough in 1775 and helped construct the fort there. His biography from Dictionary of North Carolina Biography edited by William S. Powell, Univ. of North Carolina Press, 1988, follows: Hart, Nathaniel (1734-82), pioneer, Revolutionary officer, and proprietor in and chief negotiator for the Transylvania Company of Kentucky, was born in Hanover County, Va., the son of Thomas and Susannah Rice Hart. His grandfather, Thomas Hart, a merchant, emigrated from London, England, to Hanover County about 1690 and left an only son, Thomas (1632-1755), father of Nathanlel. His mother was an aunt of Daniel Rice, the renowned Presbyterian minister who, before moving to Kentucky in 1781, is said to have taken part in the establishment of one or more early Presbyterian churches in Orange County (now Caswell County), N.C., among which Hyco (now Red House) is one of the oldest in central North Carolina. Shortly after Thomas Hart's death, his widow and children moved to Orange County and settled on Country Line Creek, where three of her sons--Thomas, Nathaniel, and David--in the late 1750s and early 1760s obtained land grants in the area that was cut off from Orange in 1777 to form Caswell County. Nathaniel Hart's estate, known as Red House, located at Nat's Fork on Country Line Creek, was of considerable proportions. Referred to as "Captain Hart," he was not only a polished member of society but also an "accomplished and complete gentleman." As one of the proprietors of the Transylvania Company, he was a leading spirit in opening the Kentucky territory and in establishing the town of Boonesborough. At the Battle of Alamance, Hart led a company of infantrymen in Governor Tryon's army; after the battle, he was highly complimented by the governor and his officers for the gallant and spirited behavior of the detachment under his command. Following the efforts of Daniel Boone and his brother, Squire Boone, to settle Kentucky, Richard Henderson of Granville County in association with Nathaniel Hart, Thomas Hart, John Williams, William Johnson, and John Lutterell, on 27 Aug. 1774 organized the Louisa Company for the purpose of purchasing from the Cherokee Nation a large territory lying on the west side of the mountains on the Mississippi River. In the autumn of 1774, Nathaniel Hart, the chief negotiator, along with Richard Henderson, president of the company, visited the territory and met with the chiefs of the various tribes in the Cherokee country to discuss their interest in buying the land west of the Cumberland Mountains. Nathaniel Hart, Jr., wrote that his father returned to his home with six or eight of the principal men of the Cherokee Nation, who remained with him until the latter part of the year and assisted in the selection of a large supply of goods to be used in exchange for the land. By 1775 the enterprise had outgrown the Articles of Agreement of the Louisa Company. After a reorganization, a new company, called the Transylvania Company, was formed and Daniel Boone was hired to explore the territory. Soon Nathaniel Hart and Richard Henderson brought vast quantities of goods from Cross Creek (now Fayetteville) to Sycamore on the Watauga River near what is now Elizabethton, Tenn. The Watauga meeting, arranged by Hart, lasted twenty days and was attended by 500 to 1,000 Cherokee Indians along with their chiefs. The Transylvania Company was represented by Hart and his brother Thomas, Henderson, and John Williams. Negotiations broke down and the Indians left, but it is said that Nathaniel Hart overtook them the next day, persuaded them to return, and an agreement was reached. On 17 Mar. 1775, the conveyance or treaty was signed, by which the Transylvania Company acquired all of the territory from the Kentucky to the Cumberland rivers. Title to the land was taken in the name of Richard Henderson, Nathaniel Hart, and the other seven proprietors of the company as tenants in common. This purchase was said to have been the largest private land deal ever undertaken in North America. Nathaniel Hart and his associates invested much of their time and private fortunes in the venture; they succeeded in obtaining for the colonies peaceful possession of the land from the Indians, thus permitting the opening of the Kentucky territory for colonization. Nevertheless, they received very little for their efforts. Because of a proclamation by the royal governors of Virginia and North Carolina that prohibited treaties or purchases of land from Indians by individuals, the Crown refused to recognize the transaction and declared it null and void. The same proclamation, in substance, was reenacted by the Virginia assembly after the colonies gained independence from Great Britain. As a consequence, the Transylvania Company retained only that small area of the land lying on the Green River in Kentucky and that portion lying on the North Carolina side of the Virginia line, and its plan to establish an original fourteenth colony in America resulted in failure. In 1760 Hart married Sarah Simpson, daughter of Captain Richard Simpson, a large plantation owner who was one of the earliest settlers in what is now Caswell County. Their daughter, Susanna, in 1783 married General Isaac Shelby, planner of the Battle of Cowpens and hero of the Battle of Kings Mountain, who became the first governor of the state of Kentucky and for whom the towns of Shelby, N.C., Shelbyville, Tenn., and Shelby County, Ky., were named. Nathaniel and Sarah Hart's grandson, Thomas Hart Shelby of Traveler's Rest, Ky., was said to have been the first importer of thoroughbred livestock, including racehorses, into the state of Kentucky. Hart was appointed a justice of the peace by the royal governor. He served as captain of militia before the outbreak of the Revolution and as captain in the army during the American Revolution. He was killed by Indians near Logan's Station in Lincoln, Ky., where he left his will. In 1783 his widow and their son Nathaniel, Jr., went to Logan's Station to prove the will.

William Preston was County Lieutenant, Sheriff, and Surveyor of Fincastle County, VA 1772-1776 during which time most of the best land in Kentucky in the central Bluegrass and around the Falls of the Ohio was surveyed and granted to various individuals for services in the French and Indian War. Fincastle County came into existence in 1772 and went out of existence in 1776 when it was divided into Washington, Montgomery and Kentucky Counties. William Preston never lived in Kentucky. His biographical sketch from The Prestons of Smithfield and Greenfield in Virginia by John Frederick Dorman (Filson Club, 1982) follows: William Preston, eldest son of John and Elizabeth (Patton) Preston, was born 25 Dec. 1729, Newtown-Limavady, Donegal, Ireland, and died 28 June 1783, Botetourt Co., Va. He married 17 Jan. 1761, Susanna Smith, daughter of Francis and Elizabeth (Waddy) Smith who was born 23 Jan. 1740, Hanover Co., Va. and died 19 June 1823, "Smithfield," Montgomery Co., Va. William Preston received a rudimentary education during the early years of his mother's widowhood but was later placed by his uncle, Col. James Patton, with the Rev. John Craig, pastor of Tinkling Spring Church. Because of his advanced age, a classical education was not attempted, but he was instructed in history, mathematics, and penmanship. When Col. Patton was sent in 1752 to Log Town, sixteen miles below Pittsburgh, to make a treaty with the northwestern Indians, William went along as his uncle's private secretary. In 1750 he became clerk of the Vestry of Augusta Parish, and he continued to hold that office until 22 Nov. 1766. During the first years of this service he brought together the papers which had been loosely preserved and throughout the years prepared a detailed account of the proceedings of the Vestry. On 22 March 1749/50 he purchased from William Beverley a tract of 334 acres in Beverley Manor and another of 365 acres on Lewis Creek above the Court House, and on 16-17 Nov. 1752 he acquired an additional 277 acres on the Second Fork of Morney Branch from James and Agnes Brown. He qualified as deputy surveyor of Augusta County on 20 Nov. 1752 and made use of his opportunities for locating good land on the frontier by entering numerous tracts and making further purchases. He became a justice of the Augusta County Court on 21 March 1755. Later that year, on 14 July 1755, he was commissioned Captain of a company of rangers in Augusta County. This company was in service as early as August 1755. He served with Col. James Patton until he was killed, then for a time under the immediate command of the Governor and finally under Maj. Andrew Lewis of the Virginia Regiment. In the late winter of 1755-56 the company marched on an expedition against the Shawnee Indians, setting out from Fort George on 9 Feb. 1756 and from Fort Frederick on the nineteenth. They proceeded to Sandy Creek, one of the tributaries of the Clinch River, but were unsuccessful in locating either the enemy or sufficient food to support the troops. As a result of the privations there was a virtual mutiny among the troops, and Preston and the other commanders were eventually forced to return home. He was one of the candidates for Burgess from Augusta County at the election held 17 Dec. 1755 but was not successful. In June 1756, after his company had been discharged on 24 June, there was another incursion of Indians among the settlements. Preston gathered together some of the men who had served under him, left ten at the fort, and marched with the others to join the militia. Previous to this he had built Fort William in one of the mountain passes, and this location served to protect the settlers in a large neighborhood. In early Oct. 1756 he accompanied George Washington from Augusta Court House to Col. John Buchanan's at Luney's Ferry on the James River during Washington's survey of the frontier and reported on the difficulty of raising men for military service. In Nov. 1756 William Preston was ordered to take charge of drafted militia, march to Millar's Fort to relieve the company there, and, if he had a sufficiently large body of men, to garrison Wilson's Fort in the Bull Pasture as well. In the summer and fall of 1757 he was again in command of a company on the Bull Pasture at Fort Prince George, his commission being dated 8 June 1757, and he continued in this service until November when he was ordered to engage as many as possible from his company of militia to serve as rangers on the frontier until the following August and was directed to keep out scouting parties regularly and to purchase supplies for the troops. He was again stationed at Fort George between September and November 1758. He qualified as major of the Augusta County militia on 17 Nov. 1758 and although holding this rank was on 11 Dec. 1758 commissioned captain of a company of rangers in Augusta County. The company was stationed at Fort Young in Jan. 1759. His service continued until 4 May 1759. He was commissioned lieutenant colonel of Augusta County on 14 June 1759 and qualified before the Court on 17 Aug. 1759. On 21 Nov. 1759 he became sheriff, coroner, and escheator of Augusta County. On 11-12 Feb. 1759 he purchased from Stephen Rentfro 191 acres on Buffalo Creek which became the nucleus of his plantation, "Greenfield," in what is now Botetourt County. It was in reality a block house or fort surrounded by a stockade. About 1762 he moved his family to this location. In 1765 the plantation where Col. William Preston lived contained 1590 acres 35 and at the time of his death "Greenfield" plantation comprised 2175 acres. In Nov. 1761 he was named as one of the trustees in the Act incorporating the town of Staunton. He became colonel and commander of the militia of Augusta County on 16 Aug. years later he was elected one of the two Burgesses from Augusta County and attended the session of the Assembly which began in Nov. 1766, being placed on the Committee of Public Claims. He did not attend the sessions of 1767 and 1768. On the formation of Botetourt County he was on 22 Dec. 1769 commissioned colonel of its militia and one of the coroners of the county. When the county court was organized on 13 Feb. 1770 he produced his commissions as surveyor, coroner, and escheator and two days later took the oaths as colonel. From 1769 to 1771 he was elected to represent Botetourt County in the House of Burgesses but he did not attend any of the sessions in those years. When Fincastle County was formed in 1772 he was named first in the commission of the peace and was recommended by the Council as County Lieutenant. He was commissioned sheriff of Fincastle County on 1 Dec. 1772. On 24 May 1773 he purchased tracts of 315 and 220 acres at Draper's Meadows from Edmund Winston and there established a plantation which he called "Smithfield. His wife and children moved there in March 1774 and in August he began to fortify the house in anticipation of further difficulties with the Indians. He did not participate in the expedition to Point Pleasant in Oct. 1774 on account of the illness of his wife, who was not expected to survive, but he was much involved with the preparations for that expedition. On 20 Jan. 1775, pursuant to resolves of the Continental Congress, the freeholders of Fincastle County met to organize a Committee of Safety. Col. William Preston was among those named to serve. He was commissioned Lieutenant and Commander in Chief of the militia of Fincastle County on 7 Oct. 1775 and on 8 Nov. 1775 when the Committee of Safety was reorganized, he was chosen as chairman. He continued to serve in that capacity until the committee was no longer required to function. When Montgomery County was formed he continued to hold the office of County Lieutenant, his commission being dated 21 Dec. 1776. He was commissioned justice of the new county the same day. During the whole of the Revolutionary War he was actively engaged in planning the military affairs on the Virginia frontier. With Col. William Christian and Maj. Evan Shelby he was on 18 Jan. 1777 named a commissioner to make a treaty with the Cherokee Indians. He was present when a treaty was concluded at the Long Island of Holston in July 1777. After the murder of Cornstalk at Fort Randolph late that year, Preston and other frontier leaders were fearful of further Indian troubles. Preston attempted to alleviate the situation through an address to the Shawnees which Governor Patrick Henry on 5 May 1778 described as "very proper " but the situation was such that on 12 May the Council ordered Preston to keep a sergeant and twelve men at his house at Draper's Meadows since if he were to move his family most of the back country inhabitants would also quit their settlements. During the spring and early summer of 1779 Preston was concerned with the possibility of a Tory insurrection in the frontier area. In June he called upon his neighbors to meet at his house to discuss the matter, requesting that they come unarmed and assuring them of their safety. He had been censured for not taking measures against those who refused to acknowledge their allegiance to the State. He was commissioned surveyor of Montgomery County on 11 March 1780. In the latter part of 1780 Preston assisted in planning the campaign which led to the defeat of the Tories at King's Mountain but sickness in his family prevented his participating in that contest. On 13 Oct. 1780 Gen. Gates ordered him to prepare a place at Fort Chiswell for the reception of prisoners from King's Mountain but the exposed situation of that place and the ill prepared conditions for confinement later persuaded Gates to place them in Botetourt County instead. Early in 1781 when the prospect of British control in western North Carolina and the invasion of Virginia loomed, Preston called out troops to march to the south without waiting for orders from the Governor. On 13 April 1781 he wrote Thomas Jefferson explaining that on 8 February he "called a number of the Officers together, to consult on a plan for raising a body of men on the Frontiers, for the defence of the country against the Common Enemy; . . . I believed it my duty to order out all the militia I could raise, without waiting any other call than that of the danger to which the country stood exposed. In this I was seconded by every Officer present, and in order to encourage old and young to go, who were fit to bear arms, I not only proposed to go myself, but sent for my son, just turned of sixteen, from a school in another country. I went to the Lead mines, where the militia was to rendezvous, and continued there and in the neighborhood until the 18th., when I marched with about 350 riflemen, mostly on horse-back; with whom I proceeded by long marches, until I joined Genl. Pickens, by Gen. Green's order, at no great distance from Hillsborough, and within three miles of Tarleton's Legion, who had repassed Haw River. The disaffected, and some others whom I had drawn out, deserted. With the remainder we did hard duty, under Genl. Pickens, twelve or fourteen days, on the Enemy's lines, greatly straitened for provisions. Part of the men were in one action, and the whole in the second; in both overpowered by numbers, and in the last broken and dispersed with the loss of their blankets. After which no arguments that could be made use of by myself, or the other officers, could induce the remaining few to continue another week; the time Genl. Green requested. After staying a few days at the Moravian Town, to have the wounded taken care of, Colo. Crocket and myself came home, accompanied by only two or three young men." Jefferson subsequently wrote him in commendation of his course of action: "I am obliged to you for the Narrative of your Proceedings to the Southward. It was certainly not only justifiable but laudable and even indispensably necessary that you should have proceeded as you did to oppose the public Enemy without orders from Government which it would have been fatal to have awaited." On 2 March 1781 Col. Preston's troops joined Greene's army at Guilford in North Carolina. His company with others was left to cover the rear of Pickens' wing and was attacked by British cavalry at Whitsell's Mill on 6 March 1781. In this engagement his horse took fright, dashed through the mill pond and threw its rider. Had not Col. Joseph Cloyd leaped from his horse and helped Preston to mount again, he would probably have been a casualty of the battle. Preston's troops also served at the battle of Guilford Court House on 15 March 1781. Gen. Greene appointed him on 26 Feb. 1781 as one of the commissioners to treat with the Cherokee Indians and on 24 March 1781 the Virginia Council also named him, Col. William Christian, and Maj. Joseph Martin to join with commissioners from North Carolina to make a treaty with the Cherokees, but on 17 April 1781 the Council advised the Governor to withdraw Virginia's appointment since the three were already appointed by Gen. Greene. On 20 July 1781, however, the Council appointed Preston with four others to serve as commissioners for the Western Country to settle the disbursements of public monies and other matters and to meet at the Falls of the Ohio. Preston's health had declined steadily following his return from North Carolina, and he had the premonition of apoplectic seizures a number of times during the two years following. As a result, he resigned as commissioner, and Granville Smith was appointed in his place. On 26 April 1782 Col. Preston wrote to Governor Benjamin Harrison concerning recent Indian atrocities in Montgomery County. The Governor replied on 4 May that the defense of the frontier inhabitants would be left to Preston's prudence, but on 10 June the Commissioner of War ordered a meeting of the field officers of Montgomery and Washington counties with Col. Preston in command. The officers encountered many difficulties in getting the men who were drafted during this year to report for duty. William Preston's death occurred while attending a muster of the Montgomery County militia in company with Gen. Evan Shelby and his son John Preston. The day was warm and after several hours on the reviewing field, near Michael Price's house about three miles from "Smithfield," he complained to his son of a severe pain in his head and desired to lie down on a bed at Price's. Shortly afterward he attempted to mount his horse to return home but fell back into his son's arms and was again laid on a bed at Price's house. He lost the power of speech but made motions to be bled. His wife was sent for and was recognized by him but shortly after this his breathing became labored and about midnight he died. His daughter Mrs. Floyd gave this description of him: "Col. Preston was above the ordinary height of man--five feet eleven inches. He was large, inclined to corpulency; was ruddy, had fair hair and hazel eyes. His manners were easy and graceful. He had a well-cultivated intellect and a fine taste for poetry. I remember reading several beautiful productions of his, addressed to my mother, in praise of her domestic virtues." His correspondence gives evidence of an acquaintance with the literature of this time and he acquired a library which was evidently well used. Consistent with the times and frontier conditions, the family acquired many of the amenities of life. His widow made her home at the Horseshoe Plantation until 1791. She later resided at "Smithfield.'' When she became too advanced in years to manage her affairs the Negroes belonging to the estate of Col. William Preston were on 11 Oct. 1816 divided among the heirs. There is a book published about the life of William Preston: William Preston & the Allegheny Patriot by Patricia G. Johnson (Walpa Publishing, 1976).

Thomas Hart and Susanna Rice had the following children:

46 i. Thomas³ Hart was born in Hanover County, VA December 11, 1730. Thomas died June 23, 1808 in Lexington, KY, at 77 years of age. His body was interred in Old Episcopal Cemetery, Lexington, KY. He married Susanna Gray in North Carolina, 1764. Susanna was born in North Carolina 1749. Susanna was the daughter of John Gray and unknown. Susanna died August 26, 1832 in Lexington, KY, at 83 years of age. Her body was interred in Old Episcopal Cemetery, Lexington, KY. At 19 years of age Susanna became the mother of Eliza Hart September 9, 1768. At 23 years of age Susanna became the mother of Thomas Hart, Jr. in North Carolina, 1772. At 31 years of age Susanna became the mother of Lucretia Hart in Hagerstown, MD, March 18, 1781. Susanna became the mother of Nathaniel Gray Smith Hart in Hagerstown, MD, ca 1784. Susanna was listed as the head of a family on the 1810 Census in Fayette County, Kentucky. In the 1810 Census for Fayette County, Kentucky, Susanna Hart is listed with 1 white male 16-26, 5 white females under 10, 1 16-26, 1 26-45, and 3 slaves.

At 37 years of age Thomas became the father of Eliza Hart September 9, 1768. At 41 years of age Thomas became the father of Thomas Hart, Jr. in North Carolina, 1772. At 50 years of age Thomas became the father of Lucretia Hart in Hagerstown, MD, March 18, 1781. Thomas became the father of Nathaniel Gray Smith Hart in Hagerstown, MD, ca 1784. Thomas was listed as the head of a family on the 1790 Census in Washington County, Pennsylvania. Thomas Hart is listed in the 1890 Census for Washington County, Pennsylvania with one male white age 16 or over, 2 under 16, 4 white females and 18 slaves. Thomas Hart was engaged in business and had an entrprenurial bent. He was a member of the Transylvania Company and was one of the purchasers of some 20 million acres of Kentucky and Tennessee from the Cherokee Indians in 1775. This purchase was later nullified by the legislatures of Virginia and North Carolina. Thomas moved to Lexington, Kentucky from Hagerstown, MD in 1794. He had moved to Hagerstown from North Carolina during the Revolutionary War for safety. His biography from Dictionary of North Carolina Biography edited by William S. Powell, Univ. of North Carolina Press, 1988 follows: Hart, Thomas (ca. 1730-23 June 1808), merchant, public official, and militia officer, the son of Thomas and Susannah Rice Hart, was born in Hanover County, Va., on a plantation settled in 1690 by his English-born grandfather, also named Thomas. John, Benjamin, David, and Nathaniel were his brothers, and Ann his only sister. 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 Ł1,000 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.
