FAMILY AND DESCENDENTS OF DANIEL DART OF BOLTON, CONNECTICUT
Compiled
by
Frank B. Manning
Richard
Dart, b. 1635 in Waterford, Connecticut. He married (1) /Bethia/,
married 1664, d. ABT. 1705. He married (2) Mary Roe Dudley, married
ABT. 1705. Richard died 24 Sep 1724.
The following is quoted directly from Bolton's book:
"According
to the town records quoted by Miss Calkins in her History of New
London, Richard Dart with a number of companions appeared in New
London in 1662. After remaining there for some time he with his
companions were ordered by vote of the town council either to become
citizens or to make their departure. Richard chose to become a
citizen. He bought a house Sept. 12, 1664. He was one of the grantees
for the town of Waterford to receive additional lands from the King.
The house he built is still standing and it is a good example of early
colonial architecture; it is located within the town of Waterford.
Apparently Richard became a man of influence for his name appears
frequently in the town records and his will would indicate that he
accumulated considerable property. His will, dated Apr. 4, 1711,
refers to his oldest son, Daniel, as having been "ungrateful and
treacherous to me" and accordingly his property is left mostly to
his second son, Richard. It appears that Bethia, his wife, died,
perhaps near the year 1705 and Richard married Mary (Roe) Dudley. The
date is not known. She was the widow of William Dudley. Upon the death
of her father and mother she became Lady Dudley of England. (Col.
Records.) Her will is dated June 15, 1726 and the settlement of the
estate was made May 7, 1728. In the will she mentions, her own sons,
William and Daniel, a grandson and a daughter, Elizabeth, married to
Joseph Remington. She mentions her "son-in-law," Roger - we
should now say "step-son."; "

The following was transcribed from "Flashbacks" by Phyllis
Swinsick, Tioga Printing Corporation, 1993, p 41.
Military service: He was a musician in the Revolutionary War, and
marched in Col. Ashley's 7th Co. He was made Colonel of the Militia
(probably in Vermont) and in his commission, his name was spelled
Dartt, and he and his children have retained it this way. Dartt
Settlement was named after Col. Justus Dartt, a revolutionary War
veteran who purchased 10 acres lf land in Catlin Hollow in 1811, of
which only 10 acres of land had been cleared. He operated a saw-mill
until 1830, served as a county commissioner in 1815, s a Wellsboro
Academy trustee and was the first postmaster in 1822. A later
postmaster with the same last surname, a James Dartt, once received a
check for 3 cents due him, said to be the smallest government check
ever issued in the country.
The following was transcribed from "History of Tioga County
Pennsylvania",
W. W. Munsell & Co., 1883, pp 116-117.
Colonel Justus Dartt, a soldier of the Revolution, and colonel in the
Vermont militia after the Revolution, settled in what is now known as
Dartt Settlement in the year 1811. He purchased 160 acres, only ten of
which had been cut over. At this time the only settlers in the whole
township were Moses Wheeler, Levi Elliott, Oliver Willard, Sleeman
Shumway, Caleb Austin, Nathan Niles, Rosel Bailey, and Timothy Culver.
. Charleston was then a portion of the township of Delmar.
The first school in the township of Charleston was opened in Dartt
Settlement. Colonel Dartt was one of the county commissioners in 1815,
and in 1817 was named one of the trustees of Wellsboro Academy in the
act of Legislature incorporating it. The first church edifice in the
township was built in Catlin Hollow, and the next year, through the
energy of the Dartts, one was erected in Dartt Settlement. The first
circuit preacher was Rev. Hiram Warner. Colonel Dartt was an
enterprising, industrious and public spirited gentleman, and he and
his descendants have made that portion of the township one of the most
prosperous agricultural sections of the county. On the old farm were
growing this year splendid crops of tobacco, corn, wheat and oats, and
all orchard products in abundance.
Colonel Justus Dartt died July 5th 1838, aged 81 years, and his wife
Hannah January 14th 1844, aged 86, and they are buried in the old
graveyard near the church in Dartt Settlement. The remains of many of
the old settlers lie in that silent city of the dead, among whom are
Justus Dartt jr., who died June 16th 1865, aged 84 years and 6 months;
Polly, his first wife, who died December 13th 1819, aged 35 years;
James G. Dartt, who died March 8th 1823, aged 38 years; Aurelia,
second wife of
of Justus Dartt jr., who died 1828, aged 37 years; Rosel Bailey, aged
58, who was killed by the upsetting of his wagon October 24th 1840;
Lucinda his wife, who died December 3rd 1822, aged 37 years, and
Aseneth, wife of Robert Baily, who died December 10th 1822, aged 63
years.
In the new graveyard on the hill in Dartt Settlement are buried Justus
M. Dartt, who died March 25th 1877, aged 73 years; Hiram Warner, who
died April 16th 1878, aged 78 years; Aurena Atherton, aged 81, and
Maria S. Marvin, daughter of Rev. George Spratt.
Among the decedents of Colonel Justus Dartt is his son Cyrus Dartt,
who was born in Castleton, Vt., October 25th 1800. He came to Tioga
county with his parents, and endured all the hardships of pioneer
life. In 1820 he married Miss Lydia Kelly. Their children were Horace,
Solon S., Hiram W., Charles M., Lydia Ann (wife of Adam Klock), Irene
(wife of Robert Roy), Phidelia (wife of John Wortendyke), and Amelia
(wife of W. L. Richards, State mining inspector). Mr Dartt was again
married in
1837, to Matilda Sweet. Their children were: Albert, J. P., Elnora (
wife of L. P. Potter) and Hannah (wife of Frank Holden). Mr Dartt is
one of the few remaining who saw Charleston township a wilderness,
without roads, without schools, without churches, without any of the
conveniences of life; and now behold it as one of the finest
agricultural districts in the county, with roads, schools, churches,
and all the appliances of wealth and prosperity. A saw-mill was early
built by Colonel Dartt, which enabled him and his neighbors to erect
suitable framed buildings and clear up the county. Dartt Settlement is
on the western line of the township of Charleston, about four miles
from the courthouse at Wellsboro.

settled on his father's farm, devoted his entire life to agricultural
pursuits, and, engaged in farming on a large scale, at one time having
100 acres of rye alone. When he died he, owned about 200 acres of
land, but his holdings of real estate in former years had greatly

Tolland Book of Land Deeds, Vol. 14, p. 329;
On 9th April 1822 Chester Dart of East Windsor purchased land from
John Aborn of Tolland. This shows the approximate time that Chester
moved from East Windsor to Tolland.
In 1824 he purchased about one acre from Oliver Lord located near his
sawmill on Burbank Road and Bald Hill Road.
In May 1825 he purchased land from Ashbel Chapman and in August 1828
he purchased a few more acres from Ashbel Chapman and Charles Chapman.
On December 16, 1861 there is another deed. This deed states "
Know Ye, that I Chester Dart of Tolland in the County of Tolland and
State of Connecticut for the consideration of Three hundred Dollars
received to my full satisfaction of my son Albert Dart of Vernon in sd
cnty and state do give, grant, and bargain, sell and confirm unto the
said Albert one certain farm on which I now live in said Tolland
containing about twelve acres of land .......... etc. The condition of
this deed is such that whenever the said Chester Dart is indebted to
the said Albert Dart by promissary note dated December second eighteen
hundred and fifty one for the sum of three hundred dollars payable on
demand with interest. Now if the said Chester Dart shall pay said note
within one year from this date according to its true intent and
meaning then this deed to be nulle and void otherwise to remain in
full force? power and vintue?." This deed identifies his son
Albert of Vernon.
The death records in Tolland state his age as 75, which verifies his
birth year, listed on p. 191 of the Thaddeus Bolton book.
Chester was listed in the census of Tolland in the years 1830, 1840
and 1850. In the 1850 census he is listed as a joiner carpenter, age
60, wife Laura age 57, daughter Pamelia age 25, son Charles E. age 19,
son Rastus E. age 19, and daughter Phebe A. age 14, and all born in
Connecticut.

ALBERT DART in ELLINGTON:
Ellington - Chronicles of Change, by Dorothy Cohen, Historian, 1987,
Town of Ellington, CT.
In an article on Daniel Halladay, inventor, the article discusses John
Burnham, Jr. and his partner Henry McCray, who manufactured pumps.
" The partners leased an upper south room that was reached by an
outside flight of stairs on the east side of the blacksmith shop owned
and operated by Albert Dart. The shop stood on the south side of
present day Main Street next door to Dart's house and orchard. Dart
agreed to erect a barn on the property for their mutual use to be
completed within four months, and also lease his house for two years,
all for $125 a year.
CENSUS INFORAMTION:
Albert's father, Chester, appears to have moved from East Windsor to
Tolland about the time of his birth in 1823. Albert's obituary says he
then went to live in Somers while very young. That is probably why he
is not listed with his father in the 1830 census of Tolland. It is
possible that the census mark was placed i the incorrect column and he
is in fact the one listed as being 10 - 15 when he actually 5 to 10.
He did have a brother and a sister that both died about he same time.
Obviously some disease probably went through the family. This could
have been the time he was sent off to Somers to live with an Aunt or
Uncle that lived there.
If he was living with another family during the 1840 census his name
would not show up.
He shows up in the 1850 census of Vernon, age 27, and occupation as a
blacksmith.
DART MILL
"TOLLAND COUNTY JOURNAL":
Saturday Morning, May 8, 1860
Important Manufacturing Enterprises.
Some time ago, when the gigantic water wheel just completed by Albert
Dart, Esq., was in process of construction, we promised our readers in
due time to give them a description of this wonder of mechanical
ingenuity and skill, and also some account of the building enterprises
progressing under Mr. Dart's direction and proprietorship. We found
time yesterday to spend an hour upon the premises of this gentleman,
and by his favor gleaned the facts embodied in this article. We can
scarcely give any description either of what is progressing or
completed here, without going back a few years for a starting point.
We have seen a photograph, taken seven years ago, of the premises now
occupied by the Carlisle, the Rose Silk, the shoddy mill, the Leonard
Silk, and Mr. Dart's new mill, with the dwellings around them. Where
are now symmetrical and stately edifices, then appeared a scanty
growth of trees, with willow and alder skirting the irregular margin
of the river, the surface of the soil uneven, and the general
appearance altogether uninviting to any observer. It has been the work
of seven years to effect the changes already made, and it will be yet
other years before the designs of the proprietor can be fully carried
out and the enterprise pronounced complete. The last finished of Mr.
Dart's mills stands almost directly west of the Rose Silk, being a
prominent edifice, which seen from the village below seems to stand
guard over adjacent structures. This edifice proper is 80 by 30 feet,
five stories high; with the wheel-house its dimensions are increased
to 160 by 30 feet. The masonry, wood work, etc., of this mill are all
done, and the shafting is now being put in, preparatory to occupancy.
All but two of the rooms are already let, and the tenants take
possession as soon as the shafting is all up. Upon the east of this
stands the mill occupied by Leonard & Lockhart, in the manufacture
of sewing silk. This building is 85 by 40 feet, and has three floors.
Upon the west is a building 100 by 50 feet, now in process of
erection, the two lower floors of which are to be occupied by Burt
& Putnam, wheelrights; and parties are at present negotiating for
a lease of the upper floor for an entirely new branch of business.
These three mills are or will be supplied with power from the same
source, viz: the great wheel which hangs caged in the massive
wheel-house upon the north of the main building. To form a correct
idea of the immensity of this "revolving lumber yard" one
must go around it, and look away through it, or get above it and peer
to the bottom of the wheel pit. In diameter it is 55 feet, with 7 feet
2 inches face. It contains over 35, 000 feet of lumber, and 12 tons of
iron work in one form or another. It has 192 buckets, breast, the
water reaching the buckets at about Ľ to 11. The shaft is live oak 4
feet in diameter. Every appliance of modern invention which good
judgment could approve, has been made in hanging the immense wheel,
and the result comes about as near perfection as human effort can
reach. So nicely are the bearings adjusted, so accurate is mechanism
of the wheel itself, that it revolves with a variation of but about
1/8 of an inch in its entire circumference, while its revolutions
occasion no perceptible jar of tremble in any part. The capacity of
the wheel is about 250 horse power, or more than sufficient to carry
30 sets of woolen machinery. It appears to be the most thoroughly
built, being braced and counterbraced with such a net-work of iron and
wood as to make it for firmness about equivalent to solid iron itself.
The cost of the wheel and wheel-house was over $12,000. It is believed
to be the largest wheel in the country. It was made by Messrs. Burt
& Putnam, of this town, whose always excellent reputation as
wheelrights has, by this achievement, reached the pinnacle of fame.
The castings were made at Murless's foundry, and finished at J. J.
Synyer's machine shop, and the forgings were by Pat. Hurley; so that
the wheel may be said to be altogether a home production, reflecting
no little credit upon the skill of the Rockville mechanics. The
wheel-house has a solid rock for its foundation, while its walls are
solidity itself, as indeed is the masonry of all the structures. This
department of construction has been under charge of Mr. Thomas McGee,
who evidently understands his business.
Within the principal mill, as well as elsewhere, we noticed a novel
self oiling bearing attached to the various hangers where shafting had
been or is being put up. It is an extremely ingenious and effective
arrangement, and we are informed is the invention of Mr. Sibley,
superintendent of the Mowrey Machine Works, Greeneville, Conn. All the
shafting, as well as pulleys and gears, in these mills (except first
motion) are from this establishment. The casting of gears and
segments, first motion, were furnished by Murless and finished by
Synyer. The main drum, with a four-feet face, is 17 feet in diameter;
it has a very heavy double belt, which, with all other belting on the
premises was supplied by C. Underwood of Tolland. In the boiler room
is a very large steam boiler, from the works of Pitkin Brothers of
Hartford. All piping is from the same place, and we noticed that
wherever valves were needed the famous Frink valve (also a home
production) found a place. Thomas Dwyer is the faithful boss in the
boiler house.
Mr. Augustus Truesdell has furnished designs for all of Mr. Dart's
buildings, and for the proposed new mill, 300 feet long, to be erected
south-east of those above described. Mr. J. G. Bailey has done the
joiner work of the new mills, and C. P. Emery the brick-laying and
plastering.
We heartily approve Mr. Dart's theory, that a diversity of business is
essential to the permanent welfare of a town; and we certainly hope
that his efforts to stimulate an influx of business and population may
meet their just reward. It may be well to place on record on of his
propositions, made in good faith, to which we cal particular
attention. Mr. Dart says: "To any party wishing to establish in
Rockville a new branch of paying business, which will give employment
to 100 operatives, I will give necessary grounds for building and
furnish 50 horse power, free, for a term of years." This is
liberal, and will, we trust, meet response.
In passing through these mills, and particularly in watching the
majestic motion of the immense water-wheel, we could scarcely help
contrasting the present gratifying results with the gloomy and
discouraging predictions of many who originally doubted the
possibility of making so large a wheel work. We recollect that the
project was carried forward against the judgment of many sound-minded
men, and despite the actual ridicule of some, the proprietor and the
master mechanics retaining their confidence through it all. It must
now be very gratifying to Mr. Dart and the builders to find that the
wheel more than answers every expectation. Scores of practical
machinists and manufacturers from various parts of the country have
visited the place sorely to see this king of water-wheels, and all
view it with astonishment and admiration. It is a "moving"
proof of what may be accomplished by men who determined to succeed.

Saturday, March 12, 1870
LETTER FROM ALBERT DART.
To the Voters of the Town of Vernon:
GENTLEMEN: After an absent of five months, I have returned to
Rockville. Circumstances, caused by no friends of yours, or mine, (to
say the least,) prevented me from the completion of my report, that
the law required me to make on the 4th of October, 1869, as Agent of
the Town. The Auditor's Report that you have received is taken from
the town books, kept by A. Holt, which is in the main correct, as far
as the expenses of the fiscal year is concerned; but they do not
include any old contracts, or notes of the town paid by me, as Agent
of the Town. As there has been correspondents from Rockville to
different papers in this State, and elsewhere, in regard to the
financial management, and that I have been reported as a defaulter, to
a large amount, by the Auditors of the town accounts; this was the
date of Sept. 24th, 1869. This you see, gentlemen, was false in every
particular; for I was then in town, and had not been absent from
Rockville, for one year, 36 hours at least. Now as regards my being a
defaulter, bear with me in my statements. - For the last twenty years
in Rockville, If I have had any pet scheme it has been to build up
Rockville and benefit Vernon. -You all know with what success.
But of this I will not speak only as I have served you as town
officer. Of the twenty years that I have been a citizen of Rockville,
I have served you to the best of my judgement in the office that your
votes have placed me. As Surveyor on the Roads, and Agent of the
Cemetery, I have served the town eleven years; for this service I have
not received one dollar. I have been elected and served the town of
Vernon as Selectman five years; with what success you must be judge. I
will not attempt to state why the Auditors of town accounts left out
of their reports notes given in 1865, 6-7, and perhaps 1868. The
statement in the Springfield Republican, of October 19th, 1869, is
false in regard to the expenses of 1869. If this is the Auditor's
report they must have made some mistake, for I do not think they meant
to injure me. They without doubt (one of them at least) knew that
$7,000 in notes were not included, there were also old claims to the
amount of from $7,000 to $8,000, which did not, under any
circumstances, belong to the expenses of 1869. - Now, gentlemen, is
this right to add the expenses of other years to 1869, which makes a
difference of nearly $15,000, which is not the expenses of that year?
Is it fair and just that I should be charged with the expenses of
others? But of this I will leave you to judge. I will speak only of
the expenses of the last twenty years, paid by me while serving as
officer of the town. I will include only that which is east of Vernon
avenue, on public improvements; that is to say, all the bank walls,
land damages, culverts, railings on Main and Brooklyn streets and
Vernon avenue, ending at the Rock Co.'s dye-house; this does not
include the railing on the New England Bridge, so called. I will now
speak of the three years that I served you, during the war, as
Selectman. By a vote of the town to procure volunteers, and pay
bounties, I sent seven men to the field and paid bounties. I sent
Trumbull Tracy, and others to the army of the Potomac, which was
approved of by the Selectmen; I also went six different times for the
interest of the town to the army; the expenses of bringing home the
bodies of three of those volunteers were paid by me in full. I will
say nothing of what I paid families of deceased soldiers, which
amounted to several hundred dollars, -- You may with all propriety ask
why this bill was not presented to the town, which amounted to $4,300.
Then I had a favor to ask of the town, which, if granted, would, at
that time, have been considered as a fair offset, (which was promised
me by the Selectmen of the town), although I could at that time, by a
vote of the town present a bill and receive payment in full. Now I
will speak of 1865, in which I acted as Agent of the town. By a vote
of the town I was not restricted in any manner. I had a right to make
agreements, sign notes, or contracts for the interest of the town; as
a proof of this I refer you to the records. And I, as Agent of the
town, approved of the agreement of 1864, made to the owners of the
Paper Mill property, so called, and further agreed that all
improvements made on Main street, commencing near Joseph Selden's
store and running east to the Panola Mills, under the approval of the
Selectmen, would be paid, one half by the town of Vernon, the other by
the owners of the Paper Mill property, or might be done previous to
January 1st 1870. The owners of the Paper Mill property made extensive
improvements under this agreement, and no bill that year was presented
for any expenses east of Selden's store, except one culvert - less
than $50. Then of the improvementss west of the American Mill on Main
and Brooklyn streets, the whole bill presented to the town amounted to
$3,000 in all, of this the owners of the Paper Mill property paid
one-half , on the condition, that the town should at some future
meeting, by vote, cause to be straightened and widen Main street,
commencing near Seldon's store, running east to the Panola Mill. Now
this agreement was made, signed and subject to the approval of the
town, not to exceed four years from date, in town meeting legally
warned, the town voted all that agreement required, so that agreement
became binding on the town in every particular, as regards the owners
of the Paper Mill property. The owners of the Paper Mill property now
hold this agreement with the forfeit. So much for 1865.
It now brings me to speak of 1869. I was elected Agent of the town
without my consent, as I was absent from home at that time. I should
not have served you on any condition if I had been; but under the
circumstances, I concluded to do the best I could with the amount of
other business I had, with an understanding that we should make as few
improvements as possible, and thus lighten the town expenses. But,
gentlemen, you know this; a petition was legally signed and presented
to me for improvements on Main street; this I was in favor of, and the
only one of 1869. I opposed from the first all improvements on Grove
street and all other expenses, except general repairs on roads. C.
Hunt at first agreed to this, but sometime in June 1869, the majority
of the Board were against me; I submitted to their decision in regard
to Grove street bridge. After a meeting had been called and some
alterations had been voted, although I did not approve of them, as it
would be a gr3eat expense to me, as no party was willing to take the
contract at the stated price voted by the town. I was not in favor of
any improvement unless it was substantial, and that the voters of the
town would approve of. You all know the difficulties that I
encountered with different parties in building the bridge; as I could
not close my contract with parties without a great disadvantage to the
town. I made on enemy sure, he says he will be my bitterest enemy as
long as he lives; him I have some respect for, for I think he will do
as he agrees. The only reason that I ever gave him for this assertion,
(that I know of,) is this: In looking over the town indebtedness, the
Auditors had not reported the amount of the notes and orders of
several thousand dollars that should have been reported in 1866-7-8,
as indebtedness to the town. I did not consider this gentleman guilty
of any wrong at the time, and nothing of the circumstance was said by
me outside of the board, for I have nothing but the kindest of
feelings toward him and he has done much to build up Rockville. I have
enemies of another kind that I do not know where to find; they will do
nothing themselves, but will do all they can to prevent others from
building up Rockville. And now in regard to bills paid by me. No order
on the Town Treasurer has been given, only when signed by two of the
Selectmen; no bills of 1869, to exceed $50, have been paid except by
the approval of two of the Selectmen; no improvements have been made
on roads or bridges without the approval of two of the Selectmen. In
regard to Grove street bridge no extra work was done without their
approval. In regard to my report before the Auditors, I have not made
any for 1869. They had only the books and bills of that year, and
justice done to all concerned, I think they were nearly correct, as
concerned the year. - You may ask why I did not make a report? Well
then no law of the State, or vote of the town of Vernon, required this
report until October 4th, 1869. I was reported, (so the Springfield
Republican says) by one of the Auditors of the town, Sept. 21, 1869,
as a defaulter of the town to a large amount, which was false. I was
absent less than thirty-six hours in all, on my own business.
I did not think that I was obliged to report to the town Auditors or
the third Selectman my business of the 22d and 23d of September.
Perhaps I did wrong in not having the particulars published in some
paper, or placed on the bulletin board in Rockville or Hartford, for I
was not aware that the gossip of Rockville was better posted in my
affairs that I was myself. So much for my thirty-six hours absence
from Rockville. On my return to Rockville, I of course received a very
cool reception from the party who wished all they had said were true.
I endeavored to explained (sic) to one of the Auditors the reason for
my absence, and claimed my right as chairman of the board. I was
politely informed by George Talcott, Esq., that I had better not
assume any rights, for he should be sorry to shut up the first
Selectman in the lock-up. Not being posted as to the powers delegated
to the third Selectman, and knowing that all the departments were
engaged for the present, I concluded to let Mr. Talcott and the
Auditors have their own way, as I could not be of any service to the
town, under the excitement of the day. I will close by saying, I have
not received one dollar but has been paid on notes, bills, claims and
agreements, that the town of Vernon has not by vote agreed to, except
perhaps land damages on Grove street. Now if the town of Vernon will
give the owners of the paper mill property the exclusive right they
once enjoyed, that is now used by the public, then the amount which
has been paid of five hundred dollars to the owners of the paper mill
property for such damages will be returned to the Treasurer of the
town. I also say to the town, and all others in Rockville and
elsewhere, excepting those who have left their claims with the lawyer
or sued them, will be paid in full at no distant day, although I have
been crippled financially by the town officers and others in Vernon.
Of my enemies I ask no favor. I will say to my friends, who have been
true to the interests of Rockville, they have my thanks. - I can say
to the public in truth, that until October 1st, 1869, I had never had
any note protested at any bank with my name on it. No correct bill
presented twice. I never was sued by any man for debt, and I never
sued any party for debt, but have always been willing to help others
when called upon. I have helped in different ways all those who have
now sued me (with two exceptions), to three time the amount of claims
the7 have against me; although I left every dollar of my property in
Rockville, they were not satisfied until they could say, "I
helped break him down, and drove him Rockville." Is this building
up Rockville? Are they any better satisfied? Does the credit of
Rockville stand any better financially? Does the First National Bank
declare any larger dividend? Are the deposits in the Savings Bank more
prosperous? Does the clergymen preach better sermons? And are men more
honest? Do men attend to other people's business less? In fact, is any
one any better satisfied? I hope so. With my best wishes for your
future welfare and interest.

ALBERT DART OBITUARY
"TOLLAND COUNTY JOURNAL," Saturday June 3, 1882
An Old Resident Gone
Albert Dart, who died on Tuesday last at the house of Mrs. Gainer on
Prospect street at the age of 59, was formerly one of Rockville's busy
and enterprising citizens, being identified with some of its earlier
building operations. Mr. Dart was born in Tolland and when quite a
young man removed to Somers where he learned the trade of
blacksmithing, afterward removing to Ellington, thence to Rockville in
1842, and carried on his business of blacksmithing for sometime. The
Windermere mill was burned in 1854, and he brought the water
privilege, after which he sold it to Hacker, Lee & Co., commission
merchants of Philadelphia, who employed him to rebuild the mill. A
short time after this he purchased the privilege of the gingham mill,
afterward selling it to Clark Holt and Julius Rich who erected the
present mill. After selling the gingham mill property, he purchased
the mill privileges now occupied by Belding Bros, and Samuel Fitch
& Sons and also of the stone mill which he erected. He graded the
grounds upon which the mill stands. In these operations he was not
successful, being obliged to compromise with his creditors. Mr. Dart
was one of the selectmen for several years, and a prominent
characteristic possessed by him, was, he kept his own counsel. A great
trader, he thought more than he gave utterance to. For several years
past he has not been engaged in active business.
Note: The death certificate for Albert does list his parents as
Chester and Laura Dart. It also states he was born in Meredith. The
location of Meredith is somewhat of a puzzle as the letters for the
state are not recognizeable, but the first one is an N. It could be
Meredith, New Hampshire as some families were in that area. His
obituary and the 1850 census state he was born in CT. His father
purchased land in Tolland shortly before the birth of Albert and
stated he was from East Windsor, but a record of his birth is not
found there or in Tolland.
"TOLLAND COUNTY JOURNAL":
Saturday Morning, June 3, 1882
The Dart Gainer Story
Since the death of Albert Dart, on Tuesday last, various rumors and
contradictory stories have been rife upon the street, as to the
relations said to have existed for a longer or shorter period between
the deceased and Miss Rosa E. Gainer, whose residence has been his
home during the latter years of his life. Miss Gainer having always
been a lady, who has enjoyed an excellent reputation among all who
knew her, both socially in her church connection with the First
Congregational society, where she has long been an active member, it
was the earnest desire of this paper to place the matter in its true
light before the public. To this end the Gainer residence on Prospect
street was visited by a representative of the Journal. Miss Gainer was
not at home when we called, but were told that she would be shortly,
and were politely requested to walk in and wait, which we did. Shortly
Miss Gainer came in, and after a few remarks concerning the death of
Mr. Dart, the reporter asked the privilege of seeing the deceased, who
was then lying in an ice chest in the front hall. The request was
readily complied with, and Miss Gainer accompanied the reporter to the
hall, with a sister of Mr. Dart who was visiting the house. While the
sister was at the front door, the reporter found an opportunity of
introducing the subject, in answer to a question "whether there
was anything more he wished to know about ?" when he simply said
"that numerous reports were flying about the village, and it was
with a view of correcting any falsehoods, he had called to get the
real facts in the case, provided she wished to reveal them." Miss
Gainer made no attempt at concealment, but merely asked advice as to
her course of proceeding. The reporter told her, that now Mr. Dart was
dead, there could be nothing gained by keeping the matter of a
marriage between them, secret, provided there had been one, and when
the public knew it, she would feel better about it as it would relieve
her of burdening her mind longer with the subject. She at once said
she was married, and asked if she should show her certificate of
marriage, which the reporter consented to; whereupon she produced that
document. This certificate simply stated that on the 21st of
September, 1874, Albert Dart of Rockville, and Miss Emily Gainer, were
married in New Haven, by Rev. Edward E. Atwater.
The lady remarked, that up to Sunday last not even her mother
suspected it. She further remarked that Mr. Dart was exceedingly
particular not to have a person know it, and she had promised him that
no one should know it, and had kept her promise faithfully. She felt
it to be her duty to marry him to take care of him, but felt sorry if
she had done wrong in keeping it a secret. The lady appeared to be
perfectly sincere in her motives, and the only reasons she alleges for
marrying Mr. Dart are these: To take care of him and prevent him from
spending any more money for patents, for which she was convinced he
would never reap any benefit from. We are not at liberty to state all
the conversation which took place, but are convinced that the lady has
acted in a conscientious manner and intends doing her full duty, in
the matter, and were we at liberty to state what the lady has done in
a financial way, and what she proposes to do, she would be exonerated
from any mercenary motives which some might attribute to her. It
struck the reporter that when she entered into the state of matrimony
with Mr. Dart she assumed a responsibility which few would like to
undertake, and one which will take years to carry out to completion.
DEFAULT ON LAND DEAL:
In June 1852 Albert Dart purchased about 212 acres, (three lots) of
land from Earl Simons in Tolland for $1800.00. This land was north of
the Turnpike to Snipsic Pond. See Tolland land Deed book, Vol. 20,
page 117.
On pages 114 to 119 of Tolland County Deed book, Vol. (?) it mentions
that Albert had purchased about 200 acres of land in Tolland north of
the Tolland and Hartford Turnpike and on 12 December 1864 mortgaged it
to the Savings Bank of Tolland. This is probably the land mentioned
above. The court was petitioned to the fact that Albert Dart was
justly indebted to the Savings Bank of Tolland in the sum of
$2,0000.00. He was in default of his promissary note and this land was
seized in May of 1870.

Rosa: OBITUARY:
found in The Rockville Leader, Tuesday, Sept 16, 1930
Mrs. Rose Gaynor Dart, 94, widow of the late Albert Dart, died on
Friday at her home in Plainville, after a lingering illness, having
been in failing health since the time she left Rockville, about three
years ago.
Mrs. Rose Dart, was born in Rockville, and lived for many years in the
house which has been remodeled for use as the Rockville City Hospital.
It was from the Gaynor family that Gaynor Place derived its name. Mrs.
Dart is survived by her sister, Mrs. Kate Lucas of Plainville. Before
their removal to Plainville, Mrs. Dart and Mrs. Lucas resided on Elm
street. Mrs. Dart was a member of the Union Congregational church of
the city, and also a member of the Burpee Women's Relief Corp.
Mrs. Rose Dart was a lover of flowers, and took great pride in tending
to the flowers on the altar of the Union church, while she was able.
She saw to it that flowers were furnished for the altar every Sunday,
and when the members of the church no longer had any cultivated
flowers with which to decorate the church, Mrs. Dart took long walks
on Saturday afternoon through the woods and fields to pick wild
flowers to place in the church for Sunday. She was a woman who was
very much loved by all who knew her, a true friend, and during her
life in this city she endeared herself to a large number of neighbors
and friends.
Mrs. Rose Dart was employed for many years at Belding's Silk Mill. It
was her expressed desire long before her final illness, that at her
death among her bearers would be Elmer Leonard, Arthur T. Dickinson
and E. F. Osborn. This wish was carried out. The other bearer was a
nephew, Frank Gaynor of Plainville.
Rev. George S. Brookes officiated at the services in Lucina Memorial
Chapel and at the grave of Mrs. Rose Dart in Grove Hill cemetery.
Burial took place on Monday afternoon.

left wrist and sprained her right one. She had failed rapidly since
that time. Death was due to the infirmities of old age. Mrs. Dart had
resided in Rockville since 1896. Her husband, Adrian Dart, owned a
farm on the edge of South Windsor, and was a prominent and well known
citizen in his day. He died just 26 years ago Monday. Mrs. Dart was a
woman of most beautiful character, quiet and unassuming, but always
thoughtful and considerate of those around her. She had endeared
herself to a wide cir le of friends. She is survived by a daughter,
Miss Grace K. Dart, of Manchester, a son, Samuel E. Dart, of Troy, N.

From "Commemorative Geographical Record" page 1023
George Dart was born in South Windsor, where he grew to manhood. He
attended the home schools and spent two terms at Manchester. Feb. 9,
1852, he married Harriet M. Thompson, a daughter of James A. and Maria
(Barber) Thompson, and a granddaughter of John McKnight and Sabra
(Allen) Thompson. Soon after his marriage he was given a farm of sixty
acres by his father. Upon this he built a house and barn, and settled
down for farming, but at the request of his father soon returned to
the old homestead, where he devoted himself to the care and comfort of
the parents as long as they lived. His entire life was devoted to
farming and he threw himself heartily into it. Though a hard worker,
he found time to devote himself to the interests of his town and
church. In politics he was a Democrat and served in various offices,
as selectman, assessor and representative. When he was fourteen years
of age he united with the Congregational Church at Wapping and, in
1852, with his parents, united with the church at Vernon Centre.
Intimately associated with the church for a number of years before his
death he served it as deacon. He was a man of few words, but of strong
convictions. Mrs. George Dart joined the Vernon Centre Congregational,
Church in 1852, and is still a member.
George Dart of Manchester sold land to his son Albert C. Dart of

Dea. George Dart
A second time since the advent of the year 1889, has the church in
Vernon Centre been called to mourn for one who has been among its
prominent members, and served it officially and faithfully. With the
closing of the past week, closed the earthly life of Dea. George Dart,
leaving a deeply stricken household, a bereaved church, and a mourning
community. Only a few short months ago, who had filled for a time a
like position in the church, was called hence after a brief illness,
and to many who supposed him still in life and unbroken health, the
Sabbath dawn brought the sad tidings of his sudden death, overcasting
the glory of the sacred day with clouds of darkness and sorrow to many
aching hearts. Again was the brightness of the Sabbath morning
shrouded in gloom, as the mournful tidings came to us that Dea. Dart
would worship with us no more in this earthly sanctuary, for a voice
had said to him in the solemn stillness of the night, "Come up
higher." Mournful indeed for us, but joyous for him who had
entered into the "holy of Holies" and joined the sweeter
service in the shining temple not made with hands. We could scarcely
realize that we should no more see that familiar form in the
accustomed place, nor listen again to his words of friendly greeting,
he was an active and useful member of this zion which he loved and
served so well. Consecrated to God in early youth, he united with the
2nd Congregational church in South Windsor, in August, 1842, whence
his relation was changed, with that of his parents, to membership in
the Congregational church in Vernon Centre, on the 1st day of January,
1852. In October, 1874, he was chosen as one of three deacons then
elected, and retained that office through life. That this church, with
all its interests, was closely shrined in his heart, his life gave
ample evidence. In times of darkness and perplexity, let others change
or fail us, he was ever loyal and true, endeavoring to bring to an
amicable settlement any little differences which would naturally arise
from various opinions and temperaments, and though he had his own
decided views, he was ready to defer to the decision of the majority;
a peace-maker and a peace-lover always; and ready to veil with
Christian charity the faults of others; seeking rather to win by
kindness than reproof. Zealous to promote the welfare of this people
at all times, his generous hand often supplied deficiencies unknown to
any save his most intimate friends. The objects of benevolence to
which the church was went to contribute, were all dear to him, and we
remember well with what reluctance he yield3d to the omission of any
of these when the numbers of the church were decreased, and its
finances proportionately diminished. His offerings were given freely
and cheerfully, yet unostentatiously; as esteeming it a privilege and
honor to be in any degree a careworker with the Master in the
upbuilding of His glorious kingdom. It is sweet to remember, that that
among his last conscious utterances were the precious words and rich
promises of his Lord and Redeemer. The Sunday school, in which he was
a teacher many years, ever held a warm place in his heart, and it was
his delight to gather in all whom he could bring to his gospel feast
so full and free. The light-hearted children little knew how the tall,
quiet man who moved among them with a pleasant word and smile loved
and cared for them, and longed to see them all safe within the fold of
the Good Shepherd. But the teachers knew, and to them his kindly words
of encouragement and appreciation of every effort to win and guide the
little ones aright, were often as cold waters to a thirsty soul. Truly
he will be missed and mourned by all who knew him. The church, the
Sunday school, the community, and the many who claimed him as friend
have bid farewell to one faithful and true. And to the nearer, dearer
household band his loss is irreparable. To the large-hearted husband
and father, these precious ones were a part of his very life and
being. And as one by one, the three sons, grown to manhood, and the
cherished only daughter, went forth from their childhood's home to
form new ties, and take new responsibilities, he seemed but to hold
them with a closer affection, and few days elapsed without some token
of thoughtful care for them still, and each and all knew that in the
father's home and heart there ever awaited them a royal welcome. Very
tender was his love for the one petted grandchild, the sunny haired
boy, too young to know his loss, thought his little heart seemed
sorrowful as he asked with touching pathos, "Is my grandpa all
dead?" What richer boon can we ask for these his dear ones, than
that they make his early choice their own, the life which only is
grand and noble, and truly joyful, and follow him even as he followed
the Lord; growing meek for the better land, and making glad the
heaven-born spirit, watching for them at the beautiful gate. Of their
grief we may not speak; but our heart is full of tears for them, and
we know that pleading prayers are breathed from trembling lips, that
the God of the fatherless and the widow will hold them safe amid the
surging billows, folding them close to the Heart Divine, and tilling
each soul with His own love and peace.
Not dead - but born unto the __e eternal,
Gone hence to dwell on high,
Earths faded joys exchanged for the bliss supernal,
Where loved ones never die.
Not lost - though to our vision dim, uncertain,
Far, seem the gates of gold,
Their clearer sight may pierce the shadowy
Curtain,
And still earth's griefs behold.
Yet they weep not - they know the Father's
Chastening -
Is sent in tenderest love;
And swift the resurrection dawn is hastening,
When we shall meet above.

Oliver Dart met with an experience during the war of the Rebellion
that few could have survived. He was a member of the 14th C. V. I.,
and Dec. 14, 1862, when the battle of Fredericksburg was at its
height, a shell burst in the midst of Company D, his company, killing
a number of men and blinding Mr. Symonds, of Rockville, while a
fragment of the shell tore off the lower portion of Mr. Darts face and
jaw, and inflicted a severe wound on his arm. For hours he was left on
the field of battle, thought to be either dead or fatally wounded.
With others he was sent to the hospital at Washington, being met on
the way by his older brother, George, who found him neglected and in a
terrible condition. From the hospital at Washington he was presently
taken to the home of James Dart, where he underwent the first
operation, his wound demanded. At the old homestead he passed through
the second, and gradually made recovery. George Dart and his wife were
almost constantly with their injured brother, and gave him every care
and attention. In time he recovered, though the wound was always
visible and in later years his mind was somewhat affected, undoubtedly
due to the shock and the suffering that ensued from the injury.

Mrs. Ella M. Strong
Mrs. Ella Marie (Dart) Strong, one of Vernon Center's best loved
residents, widow of the late Norman Strong, died very suddenly about 8
o'clock Saturday night, aged 69 years. Death was due to heart trouble.
Mrs. Strong's death, coming without a moment's warning, is a shock to
the family and has cast a gloom of sorrow over Vernon Center, where
she had lived all her life. Apparently in excellent health, having
been in Hartford during the day having been in during the day with
other members of the family. Mrs. Strong returned late Saturday
afternoon to her home, the Strong homestead, a Vernon Center landmark.
She ate a hearty supper with members of the Strong family and appeared
to be in the most cheerful spirits. Following supper she took a short
walk and then returned to the homestead. Going to the shed adjoining
the house she was suddenly stricken. Mr. N. Morgan Strong, looking out
of the window saw her fall and immediately went to her assistance. She
reached her just as she breathed her last. Mrs. Strong's son, N.
Morgan Strong, and her daughter, Miss Edna Strong, who had gone to
Manchester on business, were notified by telephone of the serious
illness of their mother, who passed away before they arrived home.
Mrs. Ella Marie (Dart) Strong was born August 25, 1856, the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. George Dart, well known residents of South Windsor.
She was married to Norman H. Strong November 28, 1878, who died in
1911. A resident of Vernon Center for nearly fifty years, Mrs. Strong
was actively identified with the life of that community and had a very
wide cir le of friends. She was a member of the Vernon Center
Congregational church.
Mrs. Strong is survived by one son Selectman N. Morgan Strong, a
daughter, Miss Edna L. Strong and two brothers, Albert C. and Charles
O. Dart of Vernon. There are two grandchildren, Norman and Gwendolyn
Strong, children of Mr. and Mrs. N. Morgan Strong.
The funeral was attended at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon from her late
home in Vernon Center. Simple but impressive services were conducted
by Rev. Edward Eella, pastor of the Vernon Center Congregational
Church, assisted by Rev. F. P. Bacheler, pastor of the Talcottville
Congregational Church. The floral tributes were numerous and
beautiful, silent testimony to the love in which Mrs. Strong was held.
Burial was in Elmwood cemetery, Vernon Center. The bearers were Elmer
S. Dart, Henry Guenther, W. Gallup, George Guilard, Irwin Campbell and
Benjamin P. Woodward.

Norman H. Strong
Norman H. Strong, a successful farmer and livelong resident of Vernon
Center, died at his home in that place Friday morning, aged 54 years.
Death was due to pneumonia. Mr. Strong was taken ill two weeks
previous. While his condition was considered serious from the start,
he had the best of care and all that medical skill could do was done.
Dr. W. B. Bean was the attending physician and Dr. Frederick B.
Willard of Hartford was called in consultation. Many of Mr. Strong's
numerous friends in this city, who did not know of his serious
illness, were shocked when they heard of his death.
N. H. Strong was born in Glastonbu0ry, April 26, 1857, the son of
Nathan Morgan Strong and Abbie Louise Hollister. He was about a year
old when he came to Vernon Center to reside. He had lived in the town
ever since - a period of 53 years. He took a prominent and active part
in the life of the community. He was a prosperous farmer. He was
identified with many important interests. He was a prominent member of
the Vernon Center Congregational Church. He took great interest in the
welfare of the church and had served it faithfully in various
capacities, having been repeatedly on the society's committee and
having filled other positions of trust. Possessing a sweet and
pleasing voice and musically inclined, Mr. Strong had been a valuable
member of the church choir. He was constantly doing things to help the
church and was always ready when called on, no matter what the task.
He was a valuable member of the Vernon Grange, Pp. of H., and of the
Ancient Order of United Workmen of Rockville. He took a keen and vital
interest in all movements and causes looking to the well being of
people of Vernon Center and the advancement and progress of the town.
No man in Vernon Center was more willing to contribute to the welfare
of the community. He was never an office seeker, but a good citizen,
always ready to help other worth citizens to attain positions of
public trust.
Interested in dairying as well as farming, Mr. Strong was a director
of the Vernon Creamery company, and possessing excellent judgement,
his advice was freely sought. In his death the Creamery company loses
a popular and valuable official. Mr. Strong was a good business man
and possessed many fine qualities. He was already to lend a helping
hand to others. He was a staunch and loyal friend. He possessed a most
genial disposition and a large and kind heart. In Vernon Center, where
he had lived for over half a century, he will be greatly missed, for
he entered with his whole heart into the various activities of the
community. Mr. Strong was devoted to his home and family, and they
will have the sympathy of all in their great affection.
Mr. Strong is survived by his mother, a wife, to whom he was married
34 years ago last month. Her maiden name was Ella M. Dart, daughter of
George Dart. There are two children, Nathan Morgan Strong and Edna
Louise Strong, both of Vernon Center. He is also survived by one
sister, Mrs. Minnie Williams, wife of Prof. Williams of Providence, R.
I.
The funeral was attended at 2:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon from his
late home at Vernon Center. Rev. E. P. Bacheler of Talcottville
Congregational church, conducted the service, assisted by Rev. A. H.
Marquardt, pastor of the Vernon Center Congregational church. Burial
was in Elmwood Cemetery, the bearers being William Gallup of Hartford,
Charles A. Kneeland, Williver C. Driggs and George H. Hammond, of

employed 'in the neighboring farming communities, and at the age of
twenty-one began teaming for a grist mill company. For about a year he
worked for that establishment and then came back home to remain
another year. His next move was to go to Northfield, where he spent
two years, when he came back to work in the Hockanum mills for about a
year; he then bought a farm of seventy acres in the Dart District,
which he farmed for two years, and then sold, in order to return again
to the old homestead, where he was needed, and where he remained four
years. For three and a half years he was employed on the Hayden farm,
and in the spring of 1899 located on the Oliver Dart, Jr., place, a
farm: of, about sixty acres. There he engages in general farming and
dairying, keeping about twelve cows, and is also a stockholder and a
director of the Vernon Creamery. Mr. Dart is a Republican, and attends
the Congregational Church. He belongs to the United Workmen and is
also a member of the Wapping Grange. Mrs. George William Dart is a
daughter of J. B. and Belle (Seymour) Brown, and their daughter, Belle
Harriet, was born May 11, 1893.
In April 1870 George W. Dart purchased a piece of land from Harriet M.
Dart, Norman H. Strong and his wife Ella M Strong, Albert C. Dart and
Charles O. Dart. The two pieces of land were in South Windsor. The
first piece bordered on that of James Dart. The second piece was
bounded by heirs of Oliver Dart on one side, Frank M. Dart on another
side. Said premises were the home of the late George Dart. The
grantors were his heirs. The house was situated west of the Center

schools, and continued his schooling in the winter, until he was
nineteen years old. He remained at home until he was; twenty-two years
old assisting in the farm work. Prior to this, however, he had been

possibility of recovery. However, he has worked hard, given his farm
anxious thought, and brought it up to a high pitch of fertility. It
now amply supports thirty cows and four horses and yields a good
profit to its owner. Mr. Dart sells his milk to the creamery at
Wapping, of which he is a stockholder and director.
