From the Reed College Library Research Handbook

What is history ? What is a fact ? How do we know something is true ?

A Brief History, How It Began This part of Bucks County is steeped in Colonial tradition. John Fitch, the inventor of the steamboat, lived nearby. Congressman Robert Ramsey was born in Warminster Township. John Hart, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, was born and lived here. General Washington had his headquarters in Hartsville in 1777; his army passed through on York Road several times and Washington stopped over at the Hartsville Inn on several occasions, traveling between Philadelphia and Coryell's Ferry (New Hope). The action of the Battle of Crooked Billet took place just south of the Borough; the territory of what is now Ivyland was part of the area covered by forces under the command of Brigadier General John Lacey Jr., of Bucks County, given the responsibility of preventing local supplies from reaching the British Army in Philadelphia.

John Hart Representing New Jersey at the Continental Congress Born 1713 Birthplace: Hopewell, New Jersey Education:(Farmer) John Hart was a New Jersey farmer. His exact date of birth is not known. His father had moved from Connecticut to a farm near Hopewell, New Jersey.

“…Two or more sources are better than one. In assessing information from unnamed sources, weigh the source’s track record, position and motive. Use your common sense. If it sounds wrong, check further.”

“Anybody can make history ; only a great man can write it.” –Oscar Wilde History is a guide to navigation in perilous times. History is who we are and why we are the way we are.” –David McCullough “People will not look forward to posterity who never look backward to their ancestors.” --Edmund Burke
