Captain Samuel Hart, I

Samuel Hart is listed as an ancestor or Rutherford Endicott Smith on his SAR application. Samuel Hart is listed as being born 1659 and died 1730 and his wife was Sarah (Endicott) Hart.

There seems to be some discrepancies surrounding his wife Sarah. "My Hartt" says that Captain Samuel Hart's spouse Sarah was a "reputed niece of Governor John Endicott," however others say that Sarah is a granddaughter of Gorvernor John Endicott.

According to Genealogical and Personal Memoirs Relating to the Families of the State of Massachusetts, Volume III, page 1719 by William Richard Cutter in 1910, Samuel Hart's wife Sarah is said to be a niece of Governor John Endicott.

According to History of the town of Lynnfield, Mass., 1635-1895 by Thomas B Wellman in 1895:

Mrs. Samuel Hart ,of the east part of the town, whose name was Sarah Endicott, a near relative of Gov. John, was seized as a witch and lodged in Salem Jail.
