From Wikipedia.
In my Cooter's History Thing blog I have been writing about Georgia's American Revolution heroine Nancy Hart who moved to Kentucky after the war and is buried there. I came across the name of a Hart County in Kentucky and though it might have been named after her, but upon further research found out it was named after Nathaniel G.S. Hart, who fought and died in the War of 1812.
Born 11784 Died January 23, 1813. Lexington, Kentucky, lawyer and businessman who fought with the Kentucky militia in the War of 1812 as captain of the Lexington Light Infantry.
He was taken prisoner at the Battle of Frenchtown in Michigan Territory and killed along with many of his men at the River raisin Massacre the next day.
