Jesse Hart was born in Connecticut, in 1773, and died in Summit County, Ohio, July 18, 1868, aged 94 years. When twenty-eight years of age he married, August 22, 1802, Esther Warner, in Connecticut. She died March 28, 1811. Jesse Hart was married (second), also in Connecticut, to Freelove Ives, September 15, 1811. She was born in Vermont and died in Summit County, Ohio, November, 7, 1863.
In 1812, Jesse Hart left Connecticut with his family and made the journey to Summit County, Ohio, in covered wagons, bringing along many household treasures, and probably, as did many other early settlers, his cows and horses. he settled on what became known as the Hart homestead, in Springfield Township, west of Logtown, where the remainder of his life was passed. He found only a small portion of the land cleared, heavy timber covered the balance, and it required years for himself and sons to cut down the timber, blacken and then grub out the stumps and place it all under cultivation. His experience was that of other pioneer settlers, a little easier in his case because he possessed more ample means than many others. His older children, however, were all daughters and years passed before his sons could materially assist in the heavy labor. He first erected a log house of fair dimensions, and in this the family lived and increased for ten years. About 1822, he erected a substantial brick house, in which he lived until he died and which still remains on the farm in habitable conditions. In all that went to promote the civilization of this section and to advance the welfare of the community in which he had been an early pioneer, Jesse Hart was a man to be depended upon. He lived to witness wonderful changes in the country to which he had come so early, and on which he left an inpress on account of his sterling character.
