Apr- 3-1858,4 [Reports of Sarah Garrett Hart's death date as Apr 3 1850 are incorrect.  They are based on a reading of a damaged portion of her headstone, which appeared to bear that date.  But the 1850 Census of Doddridge County, enumerated on July 23 1850, shows that she was residing with her husband in the home of their son John.  A re-examination of a photograph of the headstone shows that what had appeared to be a zero as the last digit of the year 1850 was more likely the upper portion of an eight, making the death date Apr 3 1858.  The lower portion of the headstone has become even more damaged since the photo was taken.  No death record was found for her at Doddridge County.], buried in Hart Cemetery, Taylor Drain Rd, Doddridge Co WV,4 [From a photograph, the hand-carved inscription on the fieldstone marker reads:  "Garrett, Sarah Hart, the wife of Josiar Hart, died in the yeare of our Lord 1850 April 3."  Subsequent to the taking of that photo, the lower portion of the fieldstone, containing the date, has deteriorated and no longer exists.].

9.    Andrew N.4 Hart, also known as Anda (Andy) Hart,19 (4.John3, 2.Josiar2, 1.William1) b. Nov- 6-1846 in Doddridge Co, WV,[47] [Age 64y 7m 18d at death would put birth date at Nov 6 1846.  Also, age given at marriage in Aug 1867 was 20, and in Aug 1888 was 41, both of which would support a birth date in Nov 1846.  Other sources have given his birth date ranging from ca 1844 to ca 1849, to include the 1900 Census listing his birthdate as Sep 1847, and a family information survey completed by son John W. Hart in 1931 which reported the birth of Andew N. Nutter as Sep 6 1848 in Harrison Co.  His birth place was reported in his marriage record as Doddridge Co, but Harrison Co is considered more likely.], d. Jun-24-1911 in Summers, Doddridge Co, WV,[48],38 occupation farmer, census 1910 in Central District, Doddridge Co, WV.  The 1870 Census lists Andrew N. & Emeline [sic] Hart as being 22 and 25 years old and having one child, Francis E. Hart.  Andrew & Emaline also had a child Frances in 1887.

      

       The 1900 Census of Doddridge County shows the household of Andrew N. Hart consisting of himself (b. Sep 1847), his wife of 28 years Sarah E. (b. Aug 1847), dau Denovas M. (b. Jan 1882), dau Etta W. (b. Mar 1893), and son Alaska (b. Sep 1896).  Wife Sarah was shown to have given birth to 8 children, of whom 6 were still living as of June 1900.

      

       1910 Census, Doddridge Co, WV (Central District), enumerated on Apr 20 1910:

       Andrew N. Hart, 63, b. W.Va., father b. Maryland, mother b. Ohio, farmer, married 21 yrs; wife Sarah E., 64, mother of 3 children (all still living); dau Etta W, 17; son Alaska S, 13.

      

       According to Doddridge Co Probate Records (Bk 2, p. 227), Sarah E. (i.e. Elizabeth, his 2nd wife) Hart was "appointed guardian of Alaska Hart & Etta Hart, orphans of Andrew N. Hart." He married (1) Aug-30-1867 in Doddridge Co, WV,[49],[50] [Wes Cochran's "Doddridge County WV Marriages 1845-1937" gives marriage date as Oct 30 1867.], Sarah Emaline Britton, also known as Emaline Britton,19 census name E. Britton,12 b. ca 1846 in Monongalia Co, (W)VA,35,34 [A family information survey completed by son John W. Hart in 1931 identified his mother as Miss Emaline Britton, born Mar 14 1850, died May 18 1890.  Those dates are at variance with information contained in her marriage and death records.], (daughter of George Wade Britton and Mary J. "Polly" Husk) d. May- 4-1887 in Doddridge Co, WV.[51],38  He married (2) Aug- 2-1888 in Doddridge Co, WV,[52],19 Sarah Elizabeth Harlow, also known as Elizabeth Harland,[53] also known as Elizabeth Harlow,28 b. Aug-  -1847 in Augusta, VA (now Hampshire Co, WV),36,34 d. Apr-14-1918 in Joy (Cabin Run), Doddridge Co, WV,20 census 1910 in Central District, Doddridge Co, WV, resided 1888, 1900 in Doddridge Co, WV.34,36  Sarah: The name Sarah Elizabeth Harlow (or Harland) appearing here is deduced from the records of her marriage and the births of her children.  Marriage records identify her as "Mrs. Sarah E. Nucholes" (previous marriage?), born in Augusta, VA (now Hampshire Co, WV).  Birth record of daughter Dalla identifies her as Elizabeth Harland Hart, born in Augusta Co, VA, but Dalla's obituary identifies her as the daughter of "Andy and Martha Nuckles Hart."  Dalla's death record identifies her as the daughter of Andy Hart & Martha Muckles [sic].  Birth record of son Alaska identifies her as Sarah E. Harlow Hart, born in Augusta Co, VA, and his death record also identifies her as Sarah Harlow.  Based on apparent quality of the records, the latter is believed most accurate of those.  But obituary of daughter Etta Wanda Hart Merritt identifies her parents as Andrew and Elizabeth Poole Hart.  A death record for a Sarah E. Hart (d. Apr 14 1918) is on file in Doddridge County, age and parents are not listed, cause of death given as "old age."
