Notes:

BIRTH: Date and place of birth are approximations. Her name is not found on any rec, including her death rec, which calls her simply "wife of Edmund Hart." Edmund's son, Elisha Hart, chose his "uncle" George Phelps to be his guardian in 1673 (Hampshire Co. Probate, 1:154 [FHL #879184]). Hence, it is possible that Edmund Hart's wife is a sister of George Phelps. Other possibilities also exist.
DEATH: VITAL RECORDS OF WEYMOUTH, 2 vols. (Boston, 1910), 2:276 (FHL #974.47/W1 V2n).
