F. J. DeHART, Route 1, Cortland, N. Y. - �I only wish that we might be able to attend your annual reunion. If is possible for me to do so, I will. I wish to thank you again for the interest you have taken in writing me and assure you that I will write you again in regard to matters concerning the origin of our name. I might say that this same story that has been handed down to you about the four brothers coming from �France and landing at Charleston, South Carolina, has also been told to me by grandmother who married Abram DeHart, and this other F. J. DeHart was told the same story.
