Excuse me for this little mistake. I mean Moses, not Jacob! Sorry! You said Catherine was a stepsister to your great-grandfather. Actually, Catherine and Sanford were half-sister and half-brother...not step-siblings. They had the same father (Samuel Maring) but different mothers (Catherine's Alma Hall and Sanford's Juliza or Julia if you prefer it).
I have been to the gravestones of Samuel and Juliza (Julia)Maring and some other family members including your great-grandfather Sanford some years ago at the local cemetery near Exline, Appanoose County, Iowa.My great-great-grandparents, Archibald D. and Catherine Jane (Maring) Hart, are buried at Highland Cemetery on the Mahaska county side of Eddyville, Iowa, near their two children, Nellie and Samuel. Their other children are buried elsewhere, including my great-grandmother Margaret Ellender (Hart) Shilling who was buried at Pleasant Corners Cemetery in Monroe County just about a mile or so from Eddyville. Also buried there was an infant son named John Hart (his stone is an old, small sandstone and barely can be read).
It's especially nice to know there is another cousin out there who is directly descended from Samuel Hart! Thanks for your post! If you have questions, feel free to ask. I have one question...do you know from your research what Samuel Hart was like from anyone's physical description of him? I suppose no one has a recorded description of what his first wife, Alma Hall Maring, was like since she died a long time ago.
