REVOLUTIONARY WAR
JAMES HART
I can't find a clear record that James Hart was in the Revolution but this excerpt came to my attention some time ago. I don't know what book or document it came out of.
"Issued the First of October, 1784 to Mr. James Hart, Late Sergeant in Moore's Troops, Myddleton's Regiment, Sumpter's Brigade State Troops for One Hundred and Five Pounds, Fifteen Shillings Sterling being the amount pay and Bounty due him for service in that troop together with interest theron from the First of April, 1782 to date hereof; agreeable to a resolution of General Assemby of the Eleventh of March last."
If this be our James Hart then it would appear that he was a "Sergeant" as stated and was paid for her service. That being said - I still don't have the Papers to prove it.
WAR Of 1812
HENRY HART
From the Battle of New Orleans comes this account of the son of James Hart.
"Henry Hart is listed on the muster rolls of Captain Thomas Scurry of the Second Regiment, Tennessee Volunteers Mounted Gunmen commanded by "Col. Thomas Williamson in the service of the United States from the 28th day of September, 1814, to the 27th of April, 1815. These men mostly came from: Bedford, Davidson, Robertson, Rutherford, Sumner, Williamson, Wilson, Giles & Smith counties. This regiment was part of General John Coffee's brigade that fought at Pensacola and New Orleans. Marching from Fayetteville to Camp Gaines (30 miles from Fort Montgomery), they helped Jackson take the port of Pensacola from the Spanish on 7 November 1814. Williamson's men then participated in all of the engagements at New Orleans, where they were part of the left line of Jackson's breastworks. In March 1815 they returned to Tennessee via the Natchez Trace." [Tennessee State Archives] National Archive records bear out the fact that a Henry Hart of Bedford County was with this unit."
Henry applied for and received a land grant for his services in the war. Although he did not use it, his children did. Almost all the Harts, except for Henry and his son Derrel, took this grant and settled in Pope Co., Illinois. This land grant, called the Granting Bounty, gave land to certain officers and men who had been engaged in military service of the country. Two Henry Harts from Bedford County applied and received land grants from this act. Most of the grants were in Arkansas, Missouri & Illinois. Henry's children probably used this grant when they moved to Illinois. Henry was known to have been in Bedford Co., Tenn around the 1812-14 time frame. After Henry died, his wife Nancy Rainey Hart, moved to Illinois to live with their daughter Nancy Hart Gossage.

in Germany in 1946. Our Mom had written on the
back of the picture, "Germany", but I have a group picture that this picture was taken off of & it looks like the picture's that were made during
that time while men were in Basic Training.
Vick made a good Military man as he served over 20 years, one tour in Korea & one tour in Viet Nam & retired as a M/Sgt. Vick died in 15 Oct 1979 with Lung Cancer.

Shadows fall upon us
With glitter and with gleam
For Veterans united
Upon the earth esteemed
Each one our inspiration
For love that they did give
With honor to their country
They fought so we could live
Within the fields of battle
Upon the foreign shores
Each Veteran remembered
With honor and much more
Such glory and such honor
Within each war they fought
Pride we feel within our hearts
Such sadness for those lost
Flag they held still flying
With dignity so blest
Our heros of the many wars
Have given all their best
Bow your heads in silence
For those who are not here
Remember all those living
Their courage we revere.
