John Hart was the son of John Hart and Mary (—?—) (Hart).1 He died in 1662.1
George Pollard of Marblehead left five pounds to "John Hart ye younger" by will in 1646, John Hart witnessing the instrument. In 1661 John Hart of Marblehead was one of eight defendants sued by William Shakerlie for abandoning a fishing voyage to Monhegan before it was completed. In that same year he sued his partners John Larcum and Walter Munjoy for withholding his share of the proceeds of a fishing voyage. Charles Knight testified that Hart "being not fit to go to sea" hired him to go in his place and, the catch being good, Larcum and Munjoy had offered to pay him his wages to defraud Hart of his profits. In 1662, he was "cast away" with John and Nicholas Lookman and Richard Holman, and administration of his estate was granted to George Corwin and Moses Maverick.2
