Got this from a relative who found me through Clif Hullinger's DNA.  She and we are related to Ian

Thanks for the links Craig!  The story about Missouri America was great.  For a little on the Hart family history in Pennsylvania I suggest reading the story posted on Find-a-Grave for John Hart and his wife Susanna Rush Hart.  John emigrated from Oxfordshire and bought land from William Penn:  "By deeds of lease and release dated October 12, 1681, he (John Hart) purchased of William Penn of Worminghurst, county of Surry, England, Proprietary of Pennsylvania, 1000 acres of land to be laid out in the Province of Pennsylvania." John Hart was a member of Colonial Assembly from Philadelphia county, 1683 and 1684, and signed the first "Form of Government" 2mo. 2, 1683"  Susanna was a descendent of John "Old Trooper" Rush who served under Cromwell in the English Civil War and was the ancestor of Dr. Benjamin Rush, signer of the Declaration of Independence.
