General Notes: Child - John Jay Hart

It is likely that John Jay Hart was named after one of our nations founding fathers, John Jay of New York. John Jay was born December 12 , 1745. to a prominent and wealthy family in the Province of New York , Jay attended Columbia University and then practiced law. Establishing a reputation in New York, Jay was elected to serve as delegate to the First and Second Continental Congresses. These groups debated whether the Colonies should declare independence from Britain. Of all the nation's founding fathers, John Jay held more high offices than any other. He become Minister to Spain during the Revolution, and Secretary of Foreign Affairs under the Articles of Confederation. With Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, John Jay was the author and key negotiator of the Treaty of Paris ending the Revolution. He was appointed the first Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, and later became Governor of the State of NewYork. He also wrote that state's first constitution in 1777 and produced, with Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, the Federalist Papers that helped convince the voters of New York to ratify the United States Constitution. He died on May 17th, 1829. John Jay Hart was born twelve years later, in New York. John Jay Hart served in the Kansas 8th Infantry Regiment, on the side of the North during the Civil War. His records say; "John J Hart, Claimed Residence in Greensburg (NY), Enlisted 20 January 1862, Corporal, "H" Co. 8th Infintry Regiment Kansas, Mustered Out at Huntsville, AL on 28 Jan 1865." After the war, he went to Salem, Nebraska where he met and married Alverda (Margaret), and where most of his children were born. Alverda was the daughter of Davis Kinnison, a physician. John Jay Hart was elected to represent Richardson County in House of Representatives of the Eleventh Session of the Territorial Legislature of the Territory of Nebraska in 1866. The following is taken from the records of that Session; Quote "The eleventh session of the Territorial Legislature met at Omaha, January 4, 1866. The Council was: T. L. Griffey, E. A. Allen, B. E. B. Kennedy, J. R. Porter, J . Albertson, J. S. Miller, J. W. Chapman, John Bennet, O. P. Mason, A . S. Holladay, O. P. Bayne, J. N. McCasland. The officers were: O. P. Mason, President; W. E. Harvey, Chief Clerk; William W. Watson, Assistant Clerk; Charles Ulry, Doorkeeper. The House: Richardson, L. Crounse, William Parchen, J. D. Ramsey, --------John Jay Hart--------; Pawnee, John R. Butler; Nemaha, W. B. Phelps, John Green, W. A. Pollock ; Otoe, John H. Maxon, James Thorn, M. S. Campbell, Albert Tuxburv, James A. Gilmore; Cass, Joseph Arnold. W. F. Chapin, Samuel Maxwell, Benjamin Austin; Johnson, James Robinson; Lancaster, John Cadman;Clay , Lancaster, Seward and Saunders, Marcus Brush; Sarpy, T. H. Robertson, N. P. Lefler; Douglas, G. B. Luke, J. W. Paddock, C. H. Brown, Fred Drexed, J. G. Megeath; Dodge, J. G. Smith; Platte, G. C. Barnum; Washington, E. H. Clark, Charles Eisley; Dakota, Cornelius O'Connor; Dakota, Cedar, Dixon and L'eau qui Court, R. H. Wilbur; Dakota. Cedar and L'eau qui Court, L. E. Jones. The officers were: James G. Megeath , Speaker; George May, Chief Clerk; E. S. Towle, Assistant Clerk; Chester Lusk, Sergeant-at-Arms; Dennis Dugan, Doorkeeper. The preceding year had witnessed the close of the rebellion and the return of national peace; but the Indian war upon the western borders of Nebraska still continued when this Legislature met. During the year 1865, the savages, emboldened by temporary successes, had grown exceedingly reckless in their assaults upon settlers and upon the overland stages and telegraph lines. Outrages of the most atrocious character had been repeatedly perpetrated. It had become necessary to call on Congress for more stringent action for the suppression of this form of lawlessness. This year (1866) the laws of the Territory were revised, arranged and issued in the form of revised statutes, the immense labor being completed in time for presentation early in the session and approved February 12, 1866. The new laws went into effect July 1. That mighty undertaking, the Union Pacific Railroad, was so far in hand that, with the beginning of 1866, fifty-five miles were completed west of Omaha. As this subject receives detailed attention elsewhere, further allusion in this place need not be made to the work." End Quote John Jay and Alverda were married in 1866. Per 1870 Richardson Co. , NE p g 114 Salem Post Office census: Hart, John J., age 27 from NY, Buying /Selling cattle. Had $5,000 real estate and $5,000 personal property . Alverda, age 26 from VA, Mary age 3 (b. NE); Gedney age 2 (b. NE) ; Rockwill, Ellen 21 b. WI (may have been a boarder/housekeeper). The 1880 Salem, Richardson Co, NE census did not list John Jay. This is consistent with notes of Edith Bresee (their granddaughter) which said John Jay Family came to MO in or before 1879. Edith had also said that John Jay was still in MO when she was born which was 1899. She also had told her daughter, Ruth Bresee Guthrie that John Jay gave their farm to son Gedney Hart. This was probably early 1900's as Gedney did not leave MO until about 1923. After leaving Nebraska, John Jay and Alverda moved to the Peal Bend Community near Warsaw, MO. Anna, Samuel and Monmouth were all born in Missouri. John Jay may have moved to Kansas City, Missouri where a John J. Hart was listed in the City Directory of 1889-91. His place of business was listed as " 563 Walnut" and his occupation was listed as "saloon". In 1888, John Jay was listed in the "Benton County, Missouri Early Birth Records " as father to Monmouth, occupation- "farmer". John Jay would have been about 47 year old, at this time. John Jay and Alverda moved to Winthrop, ARK. probably after 1910. Patricia Gilbert has an original 1 920 letter postmarked Winthrop, ARK from John Jay to his granddaughte r Edith Hart. He writes about believing in woman's rights to marry, have a home and family...and warns her not to wait too long and be an old maid (Edith married Loyd Bresee in 1922). The letter also discusses his x-ray treatment for cancer, his wife cooking too much food for the two of them and he wishes the best to Edith's sisters by name . The letter's handwriting/grammar supports that John Hart was well educated. ___________ From the 1889 Benton County Tax List; Cole Township: Boone Hart Tom Township: Alvirda V. Hart, J. J. Hart Union T ownship: J. J. Hart, J. W. Hart, G. S. Hart, G. A. Hart ____________ _________ Transcription of Letter from John Jay Hart to Granddaughter Edith Hart (who later married Loyd Bresee) by Pat Gilbert, granddaughter of Edith Hart Bresee: Postmark is from Winthrop with a 2 cents stamped envelope "Winthrop. Ark 2-6-1920 My Dear Grandaughter Edith , I often think of when I layed in my Cot at the old Place with my broken thigh fearing that my little Baby or her mother might be cold down at your Fathers House without the House being plastered. Then I think when I get so I could go down with crutches and see you a Bright Black eyed thing so good lying bed looking around your Mother her Work then I think how you, John & Annie running to meet me when you see me coming.....then I think of you all up on Place I sold Sam? , now I t hink of you as a young lady 21 years old . Well Edith I believe in Wo men's rights to Marry, have a Home and Family of her own. Do not do like the old maid did wait until you are too old and then take a crooked stick. Her father said you could have done much better being long a go. She said Father go out in that Timber and cut the straighted pole as you go through. She came back with a crooked one but then your Great Aunt Lizzie two girls waited and seem happy in their late choice . I went down to Laursport Loll? Wednesday and took Xray treatment to kill my germs of cancer. I must go back in six weeks again for treatment. I yem? Turn down there for treatment Loss of time?. Told that they know several who had been cured by Xray treatment alone. So I am leaving nothing that I think may save me from a return of the cancer. I caught a little cold coming ? Night before last but I think I throw it off in day or two. I like this country our coldest has been 1 6 D F'heat just before Laurine? 17-18-26 and 28 ?? is the coldest before sunrise. White frost of night frequently fine warm sunshiny day. The doctor that gave me Xray treatment said my Beard ? would all come out on that side of my face. I asked him if it would come back . He gave me no satisfaction. I left home at 6 "A"M" got back at "11:40 "P" M". Well your grandmother is all the morning washing dishes and getting dinner. You know how many dishes she can dirty & you know how much cooking she has to do for her and me but then she enjoys it and must have something to do to kill time. Well I managed to write John a long letter the other day. How is my witches getting along and my baby Bernice and Ora. I know Annie is big enough Tell her to not hurt herself at Bathe? Ball and stim? little From how she is spank. Kiss & Hug Frankie for me and O accept thanks for Christmas gift . Your old g randpa with Love & Best wishes to all- John Juy Hart" My Notes- Who i s Aunt Lizzie? Could that be Eliz. Hart, d/o Elijah Gedney Hart and H annah Downing i.e. John Jay's Aunt, Edith's Great Aunt. John, Bernice , Annie, Ora are all siblings of Edith. Frankie is likely Eugene Frank Hart b. 1915, Edith's brother. ______________________ From; Marie (via Pat Gilbert) who was a lookup volunteer of the Cemetery surveys from "Little River Co, AR Cemetery Census" whose work was done primarily in 1979.
