Notes for DEA. STEPHEN HART:

[Tyler, William Seymour D.D.,LL.D. with genealogy history written by Cornelius B. Tyler, Autobiography of W S Tyler, DD,LLD,  (Privately Printed, Massachusetts, 1912), pages 273 and 274.]

"It is said Hartford derives its name from a crossing of the Connecticut river he discovered, known as Hart's Ford. As early as 1640, he and his friends negotiated the purchase of Farmington from the Tunxis Indians, and that town was incorporated 1645. Of the ten most prominent settlers there, Professor Tyler is descended from four--John Steele, Stephen Hart, Thomas Thomson and Thomas Judd. Mr. Hart was one of the "seven pillars" of the church at Farmington, organized in 1652 under Roger Newton, and was chosen their first deacon. Among the other "pillars" of the church were Thomas Thomson and Thomas Judd, also ancestors of Professor Tyler. But Mr. Hart seems to have been the leader in the Farmington settlement, and his purchase about three miles north of Farmington village is still known as Hart's Farm. He is named as one of the original eighty-four proprietors, 1672."
