About Moses Hart

Moses Hart (November 26, 1768 – October 15, 1852) was a Canadian businessman and seigneur, eldest son of Aaron Hart.

Biography Moses Hart was born in Trois-Rivières to Aaron Hart and Dorothea Judah.

He was an unsuccessful candidate for the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada, attempting to follow in the footsteps of his brother Ezekiel.
