Aaron and Levina Hartt

Aaron Hartt was born, in 1811, to Thomas and Phoebe Phillips Hartt.  Aaron was married twice; first, to Levina Tracy and, second, to Margaret (Mary) Jane Alexander.  

Levina Tracy was the last principal at Mount Bleak Academy.  She was born on October 4, 1817.  Aaron and Levina had a daughter, Levina Emilina, in 1840.  She, later, married David Duplisea.  Levina and David raised a girl by the name of Mamie DeWitt.  Mamie married a Bunker that had property at Tracy Station, N.B.

After Levina Tracy Hartt died, Aaron married Margaret (Mary) Jane Alexander on May 4, 1848.  Mary Jane was born, in 1827,  the only daughter of Thomas Alexander (1773-1868) and Jane Little Alexander (1774-1868).  Both of Mary Jane's parents were born in Ireland.  Mary Jane and Aaron were married on May 12, 1848, by Elder Abner Mersereau.

Aaron was a farmer and lumberman.  He built the first homestead erected on the present-day Don Byers property.  The original house was built on high ground near the bank of the North Branch of the Oromocto.  The farm, much of which was flooded annually during the spring freshets, extended to "the Forks" of the river.  The house was often surrounded by water and accessible only by boat.  Later, the old house was moved from the river to be used as a shed when a new house was built.  They found the walls insulated with sheets of birch bark, a common practice years ago.  -- Courtesy of Dewitt, Katherine and Norma Alexander, Days of Old: History of Fredericton Junction.

Aaron died in 1868.  Aaron , Mary Jane Hartt , Thomas and Jane Alexander  are buried in Gladstone Cemetery.

Note:  According to the 1861 census, the family had an eleven-year-old servant boy named Samuel Tucker.
