from the excellent farms there. About this time Mr. Roger Newton, a student of theology with Rev. Thomas Hooker, whose daughter he married, began to preach for them, and in 1632 was ordained their pastor. Stephen Hart was one of the seven pillars of the church, and was chosen their first Deacon. The other pillars were Rev. Roger Newton, pastor; John Cole (Cowles), John Bronson, Robert Porter, Thomas Judd, and Thomas Thompson.
Stephen Hart appears to have taken the lead in the settlement among the Indians in Farmington, and purchased a large tract on the border of the present town of Avon, and known to this day by the name of Hart's Farm. He was one of the first Representatives in 1647, and continued, with one exception, for fifteen sessions, until 1655, and once in 1660. No man in the town was more active. influential, and useful. His house lot, which was four or five times as large as any other, was on the west side of Main Street, in the village, opposite the meeting-house, and contained fifteen acres, extending from Mill Lane to the stone store south.
He was a farmer and large land-holder, located in the village of Farmington, and was a man of great influence, and a leading charac- ter. He died March, 1682-3, aged 77 years.
