John Hart was born February 20, 1780 in Montgomery (now Grayson County) Virginia and died August 18, 1855 in Meadow Creek, Whitley County, Kentucky. He married 1st ca 1800 (probably Grayson Co., Virginia) to Permelia Morgan (born ca 1783 and died ca 1829-1830, possibly Sullivan County, Indiana). She was daughter of William and Mary Morgan.

John was a slave owner, though the circumstances surrounding his status as a slave owner are rather uncertain; in particular, it isn't clear why he would want to purchase a 3 year old boy.
