Mrs. Hart, born at Lynn, 27th of May, 1699, was the daughter of Moses Hudson, (a descendant of Thomas Hudson, an
ancient colonist at Lynn,) who married Sarah Collins, descended from "Henry Collins, of Lynn" of whom
Lewis, in his History of Lynn, says: He "embarked in the Abigail, of London, June 30, 1635; lands were granted
to him in 1638; in 1639 he was a member of the Salem court; and in 1645 on of the selectmen of the town. He was
born in 1606, and buried, February 20, 1687, at the age of eighty-one years. His wife, Ann, was born in 1605. His
children were, Henry, born 1630; John born 1632; Margery, born 1633; and Jospeh, born 1635. He was associated with
John Hathorne in 1662, in defending the town against a prosecution by William Longley. The first monthly meeting
of Friends in Lynn was held at the house of Samuel Collins, July 18, 1690. There were only five Lynn men present."
