James Hart Family Genealogy

Contributed by Charlie Patton
William Jasper Hart as an old man with the extended family. Two things are going on in this picture: (1) Aunt Autry is looking back to see what her husband Bruce Rees is doing and (2) William Jasper's hat has just fallen off on Truman's shoulder. The little girl behind Katie Lou Rees is not a family member. We think she was just visiting that day. 1st Row - Dora Hart Rees, Charles Truman Ashby, Nannie Hart Ashby, Evelyn Rees (Marshall), Katie Lou Rees (Groce), Reba Ashby (Patton) 2nd Row - Edger Rees, William Jasper Hart holding Lillie Kathryn Rees, Bruce Rees, Kate Hart, Joe Hart, Garland Dusenberry, Audry Hart Rees, Newton Dusenberry, Elma Hart Ashby, Clarence Ashby, and Lois Hart Dusenberry.

Nell Givens Hart, with two of her sister's sons, Eugene and Lee Douglas Griswold. This picture was made at her mother's house in Altamont, Tennessee. Sam Hart, who contributed this photo says he remembers that back porch well, although he wasn't there until years after this picture was made, which was 1921. There was a room off to the left there where Grandma kept a churn full of green tomatoes pickled in brine. He really loved those things!

This picture was made a few years before Nell met and married Sam's father James Derrell Hart.

Notice all the different items on this back porch -- it was like an extended room of the house.












Texas County MO - ~ Coats homestead where Thomas Keggie & Missouri Kizzarah (House) Coats lived. This is how it is today (2004). Ansel's daughter (their grandaughter) lives here now. Marguerette Powell, contributor of the photo, says this is the homestead that Wilson Coats filed for before his and Phamy's deaths and that heirs (3 children, Sarah Jane, Johnsie, and Keggie inherited.
