Notes:
Nathaniel Page Hart was born in the state of New Hampshire in the year 1826, and remained with his parents until the year 1846, at which time he was among the first to respond to the call of the president of the United States for volunteers to support the government in the war with Mexico, and joined the seventh regiment of Illinois infantry, and served under General Price through the war, and was honorably discharged in the year 1848. He then returned to Pike county, Illinois, and again engaged to labor on his father's farm, where he remained until the year 1850, when he was married to Miss Lucy A. Blair, daughter of Hon. Samuel and Lucy A. Blair, and who was born in the year 1830, being the first white child born in Barry township. Immediately after his marriage, Mr. Hart settled on a farm in section 26, Barry township, engaged in farming and stock raising. Nathaniel Page Hart commenced life in ordinary circumstances, and, though comparatively a young man, through a course of steady industry, close application to business, and good management, he has become one of the leading men of Barry township, and has frequently been chosen to fill important offices in his township, the duties of which he has always discharged to the full satisfaction of his many friends. He is a man of enterprise and energy, and is now the owner of a very fine residence, as shown by the lithographic views in this work. Nathaniel Page Hart fathered eight children: George B., born in 1858; Lucy E., born in 1860; Anna L., born in 1862; William N., born in 1865; and Clara B., — the baby, — born in 1867.
