Notes for JOHN WILLIAM HART:

John W. Hart, eldest son of Edwin Hart, was born in the year 1824, in Clarke County, Virginia, and passed his childhood and youth there, learning, besides the studies regularly taught in school, the trade of carpenter and that of millwright. In these he became very proficient, and while still a very young man left home with the laudable desire to make his own way in the world. Young Mr. Hart was a very enterprising character and the success of his undertaking was never in doubt. He went to Wellsburg, West Virginia, and there met Sarah McNamee whom he married. Miss McNamee was a native of Crottsbutg, a district on the south side of Pittsburgh, where she was born October 9, 1821. Her grandfather, James McNamee, was the first of the name to come to Crescent Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, his arrival being in the year 1820. He bought three hundred acres of land in the location now occupied by the town of Shousetown in that township, and later sold one hundred and fifty acres of the tract to Peter Shouse, who founded the place named above. The remaining half of the porperty was retained by the McNamee family and a portion of it is still owned by them. John McNamee died in 1826 and his son, Michael McNamee, became a glass blower, living first on the south side of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and later at Wheeling, West Virginia. From the latter place he returned to his native Shousetown, where he spent the remainder of his life, his death occurring in the year 1856. He was married to Sarah Adams, daughter of James Adams, who fought in the Battle of Brandywine, under General George Washington, September 11, 1777, and was wounded by having one of his heels shot off, and by her he had eight childred, as follows: Sarah; John, who passed his entire life in Hopewell Township, Beaver county, Pennsylvania, working as a farmer and glass blower; William, a farmer and bottle blower and a resident of Allegheny County; James, a bottle blower and aresident of Shousetown; Henry, now a resident of Portland, Oregon, where he works at the trade of carpenter, he left home during the gold excitement of 1849, going to California, and later served in the Confederate army; Abraham, disappeared in his youth and was never again heard of; Mary, married Robert H. Porter, a ship carpenter of Shousetown and later of San Fransisco, California, where they both died; Virginia, who married Fred P. Graham, a ship carpenter of Freedom, Pennsylvania, and later of Shousetown. After the marriage of Miss McNamee to Mr. Hart, in 1851, the couple removed to Shousetown, Pennsylvania, remaining for about seven years, but in 1858 went on to Allegheny in the same state. At the outbreak of the Civil War Mr. Hart enlisted in Knapps Battery of Heavy Artillery, and served the Union cause therein for three years. During the course of the war he contracted a disease which shortly after his retirement from service proved fatal, his death occurring at his home in May, 1865. Mr. Hart was survived by his wife and children, and Mrs. Hart set for herself the task of providing for them and keeping them together, a task requiring great courage and vigilance on her part. After her husband's death she returned with her children to Shousetown, the home of her family. To Mr. and Mrs. Hart were born six children, as follows: Eliza Virginia, who became Mrs. Abner Scott, of Wilmerding, Pennsylvania; Mary Emma, who married William Beatty, a carpenter of Sewickley, Pennsylvania, deceased; Sarah Ella, who married Dr. H.S. Jackson, a veterinary surgeon of Sewickley, Pennsylvania; Edwin Anderson, of whom further; George B., a real estate agent of New Castle, Pennsylvania, who married Catherine McGinnis; Josephine, who married James G. Cook, a railway eingineer and resident of Crescent Township.
