     Siegfried (?) Graf von Burghausen married Oda/Ida (?), daughter of Thierry II (Dirk, Didrik, Dietrich) (?) Duke of Upper Lorraine and Gertrude (?) de Flandres,
; NB: Genealogy.EU (Lorraine, p. 11) says: "Oda=Ida; m.Gf Siegfried von Burghausen (+1104)," and assigns this Oda/Ida as the dau. of of Thierry II of Lorrain by his 2nd wife, Gertrude of Flanders.
     Med Lands shows "SIEGHARD [X] von Tengling...Graf von Tengling. Graf von Schala. Graf von Burghausen...murdered Regensburg 5 Feb 1104" who m. "IDA von Süpplingenburg, daughter of GEBHARD von Süpplingenburg Graf im Harzgau & his wife Hedwig von Formbach."
     Both Siedgfrieds were "von Burghausen" and both d. in 1014. Both of them married a wife called "Ida". So it is reasonable to assume that one of these two sources has confused the wife's origins. GA Vaut.^2,3,4

     Epenetus Hart Sr. was born before 1736 at England; Date is an hypothesis only, based on a projected birth of his first son ca 1774 and speculating that Epenetus was at least 21 by the time he had immigrated to the American Colonies and settled in Fermanagh ca 1756.
Epenetus was born in England per Ellis & Hungerford [1886:838]: "Epenetus Hart, an Englishman, was a resident here in 1776..."^1,2,3 He married Mary Armstrong, daughter of Alexander Armstrong Sr. and Elizabeth E. (?), before 1774
; NOTE: This date is only hypothetical based on possible DOB of first child, Armstrong Hart.
Epenetus Hart Sr. died between 1 July 1801 and 25 March 1802 at Geneva (Originally Seneca), Ontario Co., New York, USA; He appears in the 1 June 1800 tax assessment roll for Seneca, Ontario Co., and again in the 1 July 1801 roll for Jerusalem, (then) Ontario Co. He also appears in a deed in 1801. In 1802 he has two lots siezed in a sheriff's sale for debts.

In 1800, a law suit is brought against Epenetus Hart by Charles Williamson for non-payment of a mortgage debt against properties in (today) Geneva. On 25 March 1802 this suit is re-filed against his heirs because "the said Epenetus Hart died intestate," so Epenetus probably died in late 1801 or early 1802.

Two parcels belonging to Epenetus in Geneva are sold by court order to repay the debt to Charles Williamson. (Liber 1, pp. 399-400)

There is an Ontario Co., NY land transaction dated 11 April 1798 (Liber 10, pp. 202-203), though this not recorded until 13 Sept 1804, when Thomas Howard attests the he knows Epenetus's signature on the original deed.^{4,5,6,7,8,9,10}
      ; From Ancestor Tracks website: "The process for obtaining land in Pennsylvania involved a 3-part process: (1) the prospective landowner had to file an application for land in fairly specific terms. When the Land Office received the application, they issued a warrant, or an order to have the desired tract surveyed. The applicant had to pay a fee for this warrant and became known as the warrantee. The loose warrant was copied into a ledger called a Warrant Register. (2) The next step was to pay a fee for the survey and wait until a deputy surveyor could be assigned to do the work. The results of the survey were returned to the Land Office with a precise description and map of the tract, nearly always including the names of the neighbors who owned the adjacent tracts. These loose surveys are on file at the Pennsylvania Archives in Harrisburg and have been copied into Survey Books. (3) The last step was to pay yet another fee to the colony or state and receive the final title which was called a patent. This is the official deed transferring ownership from the colony or state to the individual. He or she now became the patentee. Again, the patents were copied into ledgers called Patent Registers. Sometimes, many years passed between the 3 steps.
     "In our experience, perhaps 60-70% of the warrantees of a county were also the patentees. Often, however, the original warrantee died and the land passed to a relative or was bartered (sometimes for a gun or a coat) or sold to someone else; or he stayed on the land for a short while before moving on (usually west) and transferred the land to someone else who then patented it and became the patentee; or he was a speculator who never intended to settle on it and transferred ownership to someone else to then patented it."¹¹ GAV-4.

; from Egle [1883:811]: "By the time of the Revolutionary War there had been many additional families settled in the county, among whom we may name ... in Milford ... Epenetus Hart..."¹²

;      The name "Epenetus" is rather rare, though it was used in this family for several generations. Epenetus named a son, Epenetus, Jr., and had two grandsons and a great grandson named Epenetus, as well.
     The name is from St. Epenetus/Epenet/Epaentus, first century AD apostle revered by the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches, who St. Paul called the first Christian convert of Asia (Romans 16:5) and who was the Bishop of Carthage. He died in 64 AD.¹³

; "A part of this land came to Michael Bashore March, 2, 1816, who bought, at the same time, a tract adjoining, of Epenetus Hart."¹⁴

Epenetus Hart Sr. and John Pauly lived between 1756 and 1760 at Fayette Township, Cumberland Co. (now Juniata Co.), Pennsylvania, USA; from Jordan [1913:158]: "Other pioneers in Fayette township were John Quigley, James Jamison, Michael Stuhl, Joseph Bogle, Samuel Sharon, William Martin, Epenetus Hart, Hugh Watt, Jonathan Kearsley, Reuben Leonard, Richard Dunn, John Paul, the Shellenberger family, and others." Jordan does not give a specific date for the arrival of these "pioneers", but in the prior paragraph mentions settlement in the area ca 1756.¹⁵

Epenetus Hart Sr. lived in 1774 at Citation, Milford Township, Cumberland Co. (now Juniata Co.), Pennsylvania, USA; per Ellis & Hungerford [1886:I:750]: "Epenitus Hart" is listed as an "Additional Name for 1774" in Milford Twp. Milford Twp was formed from Lack Twp. on 7 Nov. 1768, in response to an Oct. 1768 petition, which included a "James Armstrong" as one of the signers. There is a Pattis Hart listed as an "Additional Name for 1773' on same p.750. There is no known relationship between this Jame Armstrong and the Fermanagh ARMSTRONG family, nor between Pattis Hart and Epenetus Hart.^16,14

Epenetus Hart Sr. lived in 1775 at Citation, Milford Township, Cumberland Co. (now Juniata Co.), Pennsylvania, USA; per Egle [1880, p. 811]: "By the time of the revolutionary War there had been many additional families settled in [Juniata] county, among whom we may name ... in Milford ... Epenetus Hart ... in Fermanagh (p. 812) ... Nathaniel Hart.¹⁷ He is mentioned in the Land Transaction of Alexander Armstrong Sr. and Elizabeth E.

Epenetus Hart Sr. lived between 1776 and 1791 at Citation, Cumberland Co. (now Juniata Co.), Pennsylvania, USA; From Ellis & Hungerford [1886:838]:      Epenetus Hart, an Englishman, was a resident here in 1776, and in 1778 took out his warrant for one hundred and fifty acres of land. He was in sympathy with the settlers who organized for the protection of the frontiers in May, 1780, as his name appears among them. In 1786 he built on the place a distillery, which he continued as long as he lived there. On the 6th of November, 1787, he warranted a tract of one hundred and ninety-seven acres of land in Beaver Dam township (now Beaver, Union County), adjoining other lands of which he was in possession and lands of Alexander and Margaret Armstrong. On the same date he also warranted a tract of land (one hundred and twenty acres) in what is now Walker township, and which in 1827 was owned by Michael Bashore. On the 7th of April, 1791, he sold the tract on which he lived to Robert McMeen, who came from old settled parts of Cumberland County, where his family had for many years been prominent. He was a single man at the time, but soon after married Margaret, a sister of Samuel Curran, whose father, William, had located near Cedar Spring.

(p. 839)     The name of Epenetus Hart is not found in the records of the county from the time of the sale, in 1791, and he probably moved to his lands in Beaver Dam township. Robert McMeen lived upon his farm until his death, in 1818, aged fifty-two years. His wife, Margaret, survived until 1827, when she died, aged seventy-three years. They are buried in the Cedar Spring burial-ground. Their children were Josiah, William, Samuel, Eleanor and Margaret. Josiah settled on the Samuel Vines tract, at Van Wert. William married Margaret, a daughter of General James Banks, and settled on the homestead, where he lived until 1840, when he sold the farm to Michael Yoder, and it is now owned by the estate of Edmund S. Doty. William McMeen then purchased the farm, April 22, 1840, on the south fork of Lost Creek, which lies south of McAlisterville (known as the Edward Armstrong tract). Upon this place William McMeen lived until his death, December 9, 1873. He devised the farm to his youngest son, James N. McMeen, who died in 1883, leaving a widow, Catharine S. McMeen, and seven children, who now own it. One hundred acres of the tract were sold, April 4, 1855, to Jacob Smith, and are now owned by John Musser.¹⁸

     "By virtue of a Writ of Venditioni Exponas to me directed, will be exposed to sale, at the court-house, in the borough of Carlisle, on Thursday, the 19ths of April instant, a certain tract of land in Fermanagh township, seized and taken in execution as the property of Epenetus Hart, and to be sold by Chalres Leeper, Sheriff.

; from Ellis & Hungerford [1886:I:420]: "At the October sessions, 1787, a report was made in favor of a road, which was prayed for by petitioners of Milford and Fermanagh townships, from Captain Enoch Anderson's mill on Juniata to Robert Nelson's and thence to George Pyle's, on the line of Northumberland County. At some distance from the starting-point the road crosses Lost Creek at Epenetus Hart's house; passing Hugh McAlister's house, it recrosses Lost Creek, then passes David Martin’s house, to Cocolamus creek at William McAlister's house; just above the forks of the creek, then passes Michael Page's house, then crosses the Mahantango creek at George Pyle's house, and then down the creek by J. Shellenberger's house to a maple on the bank of the creek."⁶⁷
Epenetus Hart Sr. was mentioned in a land transaction on 6 November 1787 at Mill Creek Valley/Black Oak Ridge, Beaver Dam, Northumberland Co., Pennsylvania, USA,
Memo: NOTE: There are 1788 warrant transactions by: 1) Thos Howard, John McLean and George Armstrong; and 2) Alexander and Margaret Armstrong for land in Beaver Dam Township "adjoining land of Epenetus Hart". This probably refers to this 1787 warrant for Epenetus. This may also be the location that Ellis & Hungerford [1886:839] refer to when they state that Epenetus is not found in the Fermanagh area after 1791 and "probably moved to his lands in Beaver Dam Township."

Epenetus Hart Sr. emigrated before 1793 from Ontario Co. (then), New York, USA; PA->NY (area of Geneva)
Various Notes:

     1) per S. Conybeare research notes, the last date she found a record of Epenetus in Mifflin Co. was an 7 April 1791 land sale "to Robert McMeen of the tract on which he lived (150 A Fermanagh - probably)". The earliest record she found of Epenetus in Ontario Co., NY was 1795: "Martin Armstrong of Sumerset [sic] Co., NY to Enos Tubbs 100A Lot 27 twp 8 1st range witness John Griffin and Epenetus Hart" However, this is superseded by the information that Turner [1851] shows a meeting re formation of Seneca Town in the home of Epenetus HART in 1793.

     2) There is a newspaper notice by Epenetus HART dated 25 July 1793 in the Carlisle PA Gazette announcing the loss of a horse, so he was probably still in PA on that date.
     3) per Dumas email: "The Armstrongs, Harts, Trimmers and so on were among the earliest settlers in that part of Jerusalem (now Torrey), arriving about 1798 and all together, making it probable that they were probably related already."

     4) from Cleveland [1873], p. 300: During the last year or two of the eighteenth century, there came a colony of settlers from Pennsylvania, who located in east Benton, some of them in what now Torrey. Among them was Anthony Trimmer, who was descended from Scotch or Irish people, who had settled an early colony in Northumberland county, Pa. His wife was Sarah Howard, a sister of Thomas Howard, also an early settler and noted citizen, who resided about one mile north of Hopeton. The Armstrongs, Harts, McLeans, Howards and Trimmers were all member of the same colony.

     5) Two of Epenetus's daughters, Betsy and Amy, married husbands in Geneva, Ontario Co., NY in 1795, so he probably had moved to NY by then. (See Cleveland [1873], and p.857 for marriage of Betsey Hart to John Griffin, and p. 859 for marriage of Amy Hart to Richard Montgomery Williams.)^{104,105,106,107,108}

Epenetus Hart Sr. lived after 25 July 1793 at Citation, Seneca Township, Ontario Co., New York, USA; Turner [1851/1976] mentions Epenetus HART and a ---- ARMSTRONG as pioneers of the Town of Seneca which embraces the village of Seneca". the earliest settlers mentioned seem to be ca 1789. There is other Evidence of Epenetus being there by 1793.¹⁰⁹

Epenetus Hart Sr. lived before 1794 at Citation, Geneva (Originally Seneca), Ontario Co., New York, USA; Turner [1851/1976:517] cites "Epenetus Hart" and "--- Armstrong" as "Pioneers in that locality" [Geneva]
Epenetus's home in Seneca (eventually Geneva) is often stated as being next to "Powell's hotel". Viz., Aldrich [1893:417]: "...the house of Epenetus Hart, adjoining Powell's Hotel..."
Barber & Howe [1846:409]: "To give encouragement to this settlement, Capt. Williamson built a very large and handsome hotel, and invited an Englishman of the name Powell to take the superintendence of it. Capt. Williamson has two rooms in this hotel appropriate to himself; and as he resides here the greater part of the year, he takes care that Powell does justice to the establishment and to his guests. From this cause it is, that, as it respects provisions, liquors, beds and stabling, there are few inns in America equal to the hotel at Geneva. That part of the town where the hotel is situated is intended for a public square."^110,111,112
Epenetus Hart Sr. was mentioned in a land transaction on 22 December 1794 at Land Transaction, Seneca Township, Ontario Co., New York, USA,
Memo:      The first record of Epenetus in NY is a mortgage recorded on December 22, 1794 between Epenetus Hart of Geneva, Ontario Co., and Charles Williamson of Bath.
     In 1811, Charles Williamson's heir is recorded as acting on Epenetus's failure to satisfy the repayment of the 1794 mortgage and acting to have the pledged land sold at public auction.

Epenetus Hart Sr. was mentioned in a land transaction on 13 August 1796 at Land Transaction, Geneva, Ontario Co., New York, USA,
Memo: 13 Aug 1796- This is a record of a mortgage to Charles Williamson, Esq. by James Hill for the sum of $430 for part (200 acres) of Lot 56 "in the Gore of Land called the Sixteen thousand acres". It references a prior mortgage to "Epenetus Hart of Geneva" for $200 to be paid on 5 June 1797 "with interest from the twenty second day of July now last past..."

The reference to interest seems to indicate that Epenetus had the mortgage from July 1796 ("July now last past"). I assume from this that Epenetus was still living in the area at that time (July 1796).¹¹⁸

;      This extensive file of records is associated with a legal case brought against Epenetus Hart, his heirs, and three others in 1800 by Charles Williamson, the agent for the sale of lands from the Phelps & Gorham Purchase. The case was originally brought against Epenetus Hart (Sr) for non-payment of a mortgage bond made with Williamson on 22 Dec 1794 for various properties along the shore of Lake Seneca in the area of modern Geneva.
     Apparently Epenetus didn't repay the mortgage and later mortgaged some of the same properties to George Bennet, William Dunn and Timothy Alleyn. Williamson includes these three in the suit in an effort to reclaim the properties or the value of the original loans (with interest).
     What is particularly notable is that these documents document the death of Epenetus Hart (Sr) in or about 1801. The evidence is:
          1. References in three depositions to the "late" or "deceased Epenetus Hart" and two references to his having died intestate. These references are in the depositions of Armstrong Hart, John Griffin and his wife Elizabeth (Hart); the deposition of Mary Hart (minor with her brother Armstrong as her guardian); and Jonathan Hart (minor with an Albany lawyer James Van Ingen as his guardian.
          2. The fact that the case is originally launched ca 19 July 1800 and then relaunched ca 25 March 1802 with a Bill of Revivor stating "the said Epenetus Hart died, intestate, leaving issue and heirs at law ..."
     On 16 Dec 1802 two parcels belonging to Epenetus (Sr) in Geneva are sold to repay this debt.^10,9

Epenetus Hart Sr. was mentioned in a land transaction on 5 October 1801 at Land Transaction, Ontario Co. (now Yates Co.), New York, USA,
Memo: Charles Williamson "of Bath in Steuben county" NY was the original agent for the sale of the Phelps & Gorham Purchase. These sales were apparently recorded in Williamson's ledger which is apparently in the Steuben Co. Historical Society. In 1801, his wife, Abigail Williamson, recorded a deed confirming the sales of her husband. This 1801 deed lists all of the purchasers, including Epenetus HART and a James ARMSTRONG. It is not clear if Epenetus was alive at this time or not.⁸

; This announcement seems to imply that Epenetus Hart left NY or died sometime after he appeared in the 1801 tax assessment list for Jerusalem Twp. and June 1802, the date of this hearing. However, Richard Williams and his wife Ami [sic] [Amy Hart - Epenetus's daughter] were later in Yates Co. (and both died there).
     "At a Court of Chancery held at the Chancellor's dwelling house, in the city of Albany, on the 19th day of June, 1802,
     Present The Hon. John Lansing, Junior, Esquire, Chancellor.
     Charles Williamson v. Armstrong Hart, Epenetus Hart, Jonathan Hart, Mary Hart, Richard M. Williams and Ami [sic] his wife, John Griffin and Elizabeth his wife, George Benet and William Dunn.
     It appearing to this court that a bill hath been filed therein by the complainant against the defendants, whereupon process of subpoena for the defendants to appear and answer hath been regularly issued and returned, but that the said defendants, Richard M. Williams and Ami his wife, and Epenetus Hart, have not caused their appearances to be entered in this cause as, according to the rules and practice of this court, the same ought to be done in case the said process had been duly served; and an affidavit having been made to the satisfaction of this court, that after enquiry made for the said defendants, Richard M. Williams and Ami his wife, and Epenetus Hart, they could not be found within this state in order to be served with the said process - Whereupon, and on motion of Mr. Beers, of counsel for the complainant, it is ordered that the said defendants respectively do cause their appearances to be entered in this cause on or before the twenty-third day of August next, and in default thereof, that the complainant's bill of complaint be taken pro confesso, to the end that such decree may be thereupon made as shall be just - And it is further ordered, that a copy of this order be inserted in one of the public newspapers printed in the city of Albany, and be published therein eight weeks successively, at least once in each of the said weeks.

; Epenetus has two lots in/near the village of Geneva, Ontario Co., NY sold by the court to pay his mortgage to Charles Williamson (whom he probably originally bought the lots from in 1794. I assume that this means that Epenetus had left the area by the date of his mortgage being declared in default. If he had died by then, I would assume that the land (and mortgage obligation) would have passed to his heirs. This does not seem to be the case.

Summary of Record: Jacob W. Hallett, Master in Chancery for the State of New York, at a Court of Chancery on 2 Oct 1802, ordered that "several lots of land" mortgaged on 22 Dec 1794 by Epenetus Hart to Charles Williamson, Esq. be sold at public "vendue" ... which premises are in the Co. of Ontario between the Old and New Preemption lines, being Lot No. 29 (beginning at a white oak on the Seneca Lake thence West on the North bounds of J Neilsons Lot two hundred perches thence North hone hundred and twenty perches a post thence east to the Seneca Lake thence up said Lake to the place of beginning containing one hundred and sixty acres. Also Lot number 18 beginning at a white oak on said Lake in the South east corner of a Lot conveyed to Thomas Rees Junio thence West on Rees line two hundred perches thence South of Thomas Peacocks line forty six perches thence on a line of said Peacocks and Amos Jenks to the place of beginning containing one hundred acres be the same more or less both lots inclusive. In pursuance of said order the above premises were by me publickly advertised in one of the newspapers printed in this State for the space of eight weeks next preceding the say of sale ... at Powells Hotel in the Village of Geneva... aforesaid was purchased by John Heslop of said village for the sum of Two hundred dollars ..."⁹
