"The Great Migration Begins Vol 2, pp 866-869 has an entry for Edmund Hart::

. Charity Hart "b. say 1646 m. by 1677 Thomas Loveland...research of Gale Ion Harris, forthcoming in TAG". Entry for Edmund Hart says origin unknown, migrated 1632 to Dorchester, rem to Weymouth 1636 and Westfield 1664. Wife unidentified; she died Weymouth 20 August 1659; they had 9 children. There's a quote about Edmund's death [shortly before] from Hampshire County Probate records v. 1, p. 147: "30 September 1672 Edmund Hart of Westfield dying suddenly this sennight past inquiry was made by a jury of 12 men concerning his death who found it to be by the immediate hand of God in thunder & lightning as they conceive; their verdict is on file. And the said Edmun Hart dying intestate...""

A quote from the January 1997 TAG article, p. 44, by Gale Ion Harris:

It seems to have escaped prior notice that a sixth sister, Charity Hart, had married Thomas2 Loveland, son of the "widow Lovenam" of Wethersfield (modern Glastonbury), the other administrator of Elisha Hart's estate in 1683. On 20 May 1678, Thomas Loveland "of Wethersfield," for twenty bushels of wheat, sold to John Root of Westfield land "which fell to him the said Loveman {sic} by the decease of Edmund Hart formerly of the said Westfield." The deed recites that the land was Loveland's "proper right by his present wife Charity daughter to the said Edmund Hart Deceased and whatever was willed and ordered by Springfield Court to be the portion of my Said wife out of his Fathers estate." Witnesses John Chester Jr. and Steven Chester were Wethersfield men. Thomas and Charity "Loveman" both signed by marks.

In the footnote to the above passage, Harris notes that Jacobus and Waterman conclude their account of the Loveland descendants in Hale, House and Related Families with the remark, "While most of the Glaastonbury families are difficult, the Loveland family is terrifically difficult."
