HART FAMILY HISTORY SILAS HART, HIS ANCESTORS AND DESCENDANTS By WILLIAM LINCOLN HART ALLIANCE, OHIO 1 9 4 2 "Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations; ask thy father, and he will show thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee."- Deut. 32, 7. "Those who do not look upon themselves as a link connecting the past with the future, do not perfonn their duty to the world."-Daniel Webster. "Ancestral glory is a lamp to posterity. "-Gallust. "We are the carriages in which our ancestors ride."-Unknown. "The great ocean of national existence is made up of the single drop;i of Individual life and action."-Edward Everett. CJOAT OF ARMS Adopted and Register<>d by the Stephen Hart Family Prior to 1500, A, D, Pilgrim Hymn O God, beneath thy guiding hand Our exiled fathers crossed the sea; And when they trod the wintry sti·and, With prayer and Psalm they worshipped Thee. Thou heard'st well pleased, the song, the prayer; Thy blessing came; and still its power Shall onward, through all ages, bear The memory of that holy hour. Laws, freedom, truth, and faith in God Came with those exiles o'er the waves; And where their pilgrim feet have trod, The God they trusted guards their graves. And here Thy Name, O God of love, Their children's children shall adore, 'Till these eternal hills remove, And spring adorns the earth no more. (John Hatton, died 1793) Presbyterian Hymnal, No. 462 Methodist Hymnal, No. 493 Christian Worship Hymnal No. 543.
