From another member:
A number of years ago I helped a friend of mine establish her relationship to John Hart, The Signer. In that research my friend sent me pages from several books (unfortunately not sourced). A paragraph from one of them may be useful: "For a long time it was believed she [Deborah] was the youngest daughter of Richard Betts Scudder, Sr., but his will proven, March 19, 1754, shows she was a granddaughter. She was the daughter of Richard Betts Scudder, Jr., born in 1691[sic] and died in 1731. The name of her mother has never been found."
