Joseph Hart
(Bet Abt 1695 and 1700 - March 1777)
Yeoman
Joseph was born about 1695-1700, the son of John Hart and Mary Hunt. As a child, he relocated with his father and brothers from Newtown, Queens Co., Long Island, NY, to Maidenhead, old Burlington (later Hunterdon, now Mercer) Co., NJ, in or about 1703. He referred to himself as a yeoman.

Their brother Amos, who was given the plantation on which he lived, was to pay £15 to each sister. Their brother Joseph, who was given the home plantation, was to pay £5 to each.
