lived in Berkeley Co., Va until about 1795 when he moved to Fleming Co., Kentucky. Appears on the Berkeley County, Va. tax rolls in 1782. and Fleming Co., Ky tax rolls in 1800.
John was among the 46 signers of a 'Petition of Dissenters of the Tucsarora Congregation' of Berkeley Co., Va. to the House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Virginia. It rejoiced 'in the prospect of having their freedom maintained to them & prosperity inviolate' following the deliverance from 'British oppression'. It stated that 'The Ecclesiastical Establishment is what your Petitioners have ever looked upon as a grievous Burden & inconsistent with the rights of Humanity wither civil or religious' and requested that it be suspended or put aside.
John and his son David are buried on a cemetery on the farm of A. J. SLOOP about 4 1/2 miles from Flemingsburg, Ky. On Hussey Road.
Thee farm is now owned by James and Ann Miller. When last visited in 1993, the cemetery was overgrown and for all practical purposes, inaccessible. (Albert D. Hart, Sr.,June, 2000)
We have not found any record of the ancestry of John Hart, Sr., nor his whereabouts before the reference to his being on the Tax Rolls of Virginia in 1782. He also appears on the tax rolls in Fleming Co, KY. in 1800. To get from Virginia to Kentucky he possibly could have traveled over the Great Valley Road or the Pioneers Road to Western Virginia, then southwest on the Philadelphia Road, then connecting with the Shenandoah River Valley. In 1746, travelers on the Great Valley Road at Big Springs, Virginia (now Roanoke) had to leave their wagons and use pack horses to continue into the valleys of the Clinch, Powell, or Holston Rivers leading into North Carolina or Tennessee.(Albert D. Hart, Sr.,June, 2000)
His will, dated 15 Aug 1826 and proved in 1832, appointed David Hart and Gordon Shanklin as guardians of his 'son John' and mentioned his grandson, Amaziah Hart.
