Michael Thomas (son of Johann Thoma and Anna Maria Blankenbuehler) is said to have married Eva Susannah Margaret Hart. In the last two notes, I have given the "history" of Eva.
There are Harts in the "Hebron" Communion lists. On Christmas Day in 1775, Vallentin Hart and his wife Anna Maria were communicants who sat "between" Christoph Mayer and his wife Catharina, and Peter [Klar] and his wife Maria. The year 1775 was the first recorded communion list. By 1775, Michael Thomas had moved to Pennsylvania.
In 1782, Moses Hart was confirmed at the age of 17. He could have been a younger sister of Eva. At this same service, Vallentin Hart and his wife A. Maria were communicants along with Elisabetha Hart. The Harts collectively sat between Carl Vorete (Frady) and his wife Barbara, and Christian Reiner and his wife Elisabeth (Fleshman).
Then in 1783, Mossis Hartt (this was during the term of J. Michael Smith as pastor when spelling was atrocious) was a communicant. He sat with Philip Schneider and Peter Risser.
In 1783, Elisabetha Hart and Anna Hart with Vallentin Hart and his wife A. Maria were communicants. The sequence of names is Veronica Hirsch, Vallentin Hart and wife A. Maria, Elisabetha Hart, Anna Hart, and Eberhart Reiner.
In 1784, Vallentein Hart, his wife A. Maria, and Elisabetha Hart were communicants. This trio sat between Joh. Blankenbuechler, his wife Barbara, and Christoph Tana wife Elisabetha (Aylor). Christoph’s sister Mary may have married John Thomas, Jr.
A Leonard Hart is in the 1781 Culpeper Classes (#96) along with names such as Weaver, Wilhoit, Razor, Barlow, Hufman, Clore, and a few English names.
By the time of the 1787 Culpeper County tax list (including today’s Madison County), the Hart name seems to have disappeared from the area.
There are no Harts in the Baptismal Register, but that may be because they came to the area after their children were baptized.
Michael Thomas and his family are not in the "Hebron" records, but that may be because they had moved away before the rewrite of the Baptismal Records about 1774.
