The following letter to my mother, Mrs. Louisa H. Kendall, from Dr. Neisler, formerly of Athens, dated Butler, Ga., February 8, 1872, and her reply, in relation to the history of Mrs. Hart, will give the facts much more accurately than I can state them. Dr. Neisler says: "He remained in Elbert a year, then moved near my grandfather, Jesse Lane, who lived on Long creek, three miles from Lexington, in Oglethorpe county, which was a wilderness and had not been named. After living there several years Mr. Hart moved to Spark's Fort, three miles below Athens on the other side of the river, the Indians being exceedingly troublesome on this side. He only remained there one year, then bought or leased land near a valuable plantation owned by my grandfather, Lane, on the Oconee, a few miles below Athens. This property was afterwards bought by Colonel Harden. John Hart then bought the land purchased by your grandfather, Mitchell, above Athens [illegible] afterward moved to Kentucky, taking his mother, Nancy Hart, with him who was related to the Morgans of that state. Ben Hart, her husband, was brother to the celebrated Col. Thomas Hart, of Kentucky, who was father of the wife of Henry Clay. It is thought that Thomas Hart Benton is also a member of the same family."
