I found this book online that gives information about Malissa Moon Hart:
Joseph Hart and His Descendants By Rev. Charles Coffin Hart (Published 1901).
Malissa Moon is the daughter of William (1810-1841) and Asenith Moon and the sister of my husband's ancestor William Mitchell Moon. Chapter 2 gives the following information about Malissa Moon and her husband Thomas Hart:
Thomas Hart was born Aug. 28, 1825; died Jan. 22, 1896, aged 72. He united with New Providence Church Sept. 2, 1838, with his sister Abagail and his brother John. On Oct. 1, 1856, he brought to the old home, as his wife, Miss Malissa Ceneth Moon, and on the family homestead they spent a long and happy married life, and there his widow and three of their daughters still live (February, 1900). The house has been remodeled, but a part of the original structure-as built by the patriarch, Joseph Hart, in 1793-remains in good condition. A railroad has been built near the dwelling, thereby mutilating the farm. But the "old spring" is still there, supplying an abundance of pure water, as it did in 1792, when the land was first claimed. Thomas Hart led a consistent, godly life, and on Aug. 27, 1865 he was ordained ruling elder in Rockford Church, with which church in course of time, all his family became members. For many years he was a trustee of Maryville College, and had at heart the good of all religious and educational institutions. Nine children were born to Thomas and Malissa Hart: Margaret Eliza, Laura Josephine, Effie Cenith, William Edward, Cora, Belle, Thomas Samuel, Ella Blackburn and Nellie Jane (twins) and Jessie Ann.
