• Notes

  Early Life The exact date of George's birth is not known, but his brother Merrick was born in 1628 and George was the elder brother. Given that George's children were born in the 1650s, it's likely that George himself was born some time between 1610 and 1627. George's parents were Henry Hart and Frances Bosvile. Family Life George Hart married Elizabeth Cary, the daughter of George Cary of Redcastle and Jane Beresford. They had three sons and three daughters: Henry, born 1651 who married Anne Beresford Elizabeth, born c. 1653 George, born between 1652 and 1657 Chichester, born c. 1658 Frances Mary Death George's will is given in FHoHoD1: 1659, 30 Aug.
