JANE GOFORTH, called “Jennie”, b. ca. 1798 in Duck River, TN, d. Oct. 1, 1880 in Grayson Co., KY, md. in Hardin Co., KY on Nov. 25, 1814 to HEZEKIAH HART, b. ca. 1793 in SC, d. Sept. 7, 1873 in Grayson Co., KY.
Jennie was a pretty little black-eyed woman, a midwife. When a woman’s ‘time’ came, the expectant father would go after Jennie on his horse and she’d ride behind him back to his home. She was blind before her death. Jennie & Hezekiah are buried at Antioch Church Cemetery near Big Clifty, Grayson Co., KY. They had at least ten children: John Calhoun, Martha, Josiah, Oliver, Emily Elizabeth, William W., George Robert, Anne, Sarah Waggoner and Mary Lucretia. (Note: Most researchers agree that the Aaron P. Hart born ca. 1815 and who married Lucinda Akers was the son of Oliver & Jane (Polk) Hart. Perhaps he might have been the son of Jennie (Goforth) & Hezekiah Hart. If so, he was probably the oldest child.)
