Notes:

From the book "The Irish Colony In Texas" (p.186)

Mrs. G.H. Heldenfels of Beeville recalls "Timothy Hart, my grandfather, set out for his sheep ranch in McMullen County. He rode off with the money bags tied to the back of his saddle. With it he was to pay his sheep herders and a Tilden merchant who supplied them with provisions. On the way he stopped at the house of a Mexican friend who asked him to spend the night rather than to continue his journey. He thanked him but declined, saying he must push on as the sheep herders expected him. But his amigo urged him to spend the night, saying that there were two very bad hombres in the area, and he did not think it safe. Again Tim refused to stay. (When) he did not return to Papalote ... the alarm went out. A search was made to no avail. The only clue they had was what the Mexican man had told them. And this led to nowhere."

According to "Refugio" by H. Huson, Timothy Hart was among the signers of the Goliad Declaration of Independence.

Timothy married Mary St. John before 1847. Mary was born before 1831 in Ireland; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Her father was Edmund St. John, born in Ireland. Per a letter to Esther McGrew Hardin from Jeannie Ross (a great granddaughter of Julia Hart McGrew), Edmund St. John was on a boat that Colonel Power brought over. It was believed to have been shipwrecked off the coast of Texas, and many passengers fell to Cholera. (She cited H.Huson "Refugio") Jeannie also received information from the Texas State Archives that Ed. and William St. John were in the Texas Revolution, and were granted bounty lands.
