A Naval Biographical Dictionary/Hart, George Vaughan
HART. (Lieut., 1827. f-p., 11; h-p., 16.)
George Vaughan Hart is son of the late Gen. G. V. Hart, M.P. for co. Donegal, and Military Governor of Londonderry and Culmore forts. This officer entered the Navy, in 1820, as Midshipman, on board the Rochfort 80, Capt. Chas. Marsh Schomberg, bearing the flag of Sir Graham Moore on the Mediterranean station, where, until 1825, he also served in the Medina 20, Capt. Hawkins, and Dispatch 18, Capt. Edw. Hinton Scott. He then became attached to the Brisk 10, Capt. Chas. Hope, and, after cruizing for some time in the North Sea, was appointed to the Calliope 10, Lieut.-Commander John Powney, tender to one of the Royal yachts, in which vessel, we believe, he attended the Lord High Admiral and his consort in their visit to the different dockyards in 1827. Being in consequence promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 11 Aug. in the same year, he afterwards served in that capacity on board the Gloucester 74, Capt. Henry Stuart, Prince Regent 120, Capt. Hon. Geo. Poulett, and Victor 18, commanded on the Lisbon station by Capt. Alex. Ellice. He has been on half-pay since 1832.
Lieut. Hart is a Magistrate for co. Donegal. He married, in 1835, his cousin, Jane Maria, daughter of the Rev. G. V. Hart, Rector of Castlebar, and grand-daughter of the late Very Rev. Dean Hume, of Derry, by whom he has issue six children. Agents Messrs. Ommanney.
