John was born about 1595 in Bury, St. Edmunds, Suffolk, England. John sailed over to New England in 1634 in the Griffin and lived in New Towne (now Cambridge) Massachusetts and in 1636 traveled with Thomas Hooker to Hartford, Connecticut.

In 1809 5 year old Leveritt Hart and his father Isaac traveled to the forests of Stow, Ohio.As a young adult Leveritt moved to the town over, the new town of Cuyahoga Falls.

This is where he died in the late 1800's. Over a hundred years later we are still here...this is where I grew up and continue to live in the year 2000.
