In 1693, he married 1st Hannah ___________. Her last name was thought to be Williams but we have no proof that it was. Hannah died before 31 Oct 1708 when Richard took a 2nd wife, Amey Gibbs. Nothing is known of the background of either of Richard's wives. He inherited the 2 parcels of his father's property in Little Compton which Richard sold, with his mother's consent, on 4 May 1696. In July of that same year, he purchased 100 acres with buildings in Little Compton from his brother-in-law, George Pearce for 100 pounds. Richard died in April or May of 1745. His will written 19 April 1745 was proved 10 June 1745 (recorded at Taunton, Mass., Book 11, pp 1-2). His son Stephen was made executor. The will left to Amey the household goods and a cow. To son Richard, beetle rings, wedges and 5 shillings. To Stephen, all lands, houses, orchards, and husbandry tools provided he maintain his mother and care for her. The 4 daughters were given 5 shillings each plus a share of the money left over from the sale of all livestock (except sheep) after the debts were paid. Two of the grandchildren, Hannah and Richard, children of Richard (4), were to receive a trammel and fire tongs, respectively. the inventory gave a value of 250 pounds for the land and buildings, and 47 pounds, 6 shillings for the personal property, books, and animals. Richard was buried in the burying grounds on his farm in Little Compton. Early tradition says that his wife Amey outlived him by many years. She visited the family cemetery so frequently, she wore a pathway to the graves. That path became known as the Amey Hart Path.

It is supposed that their only child, Richard, was born in England. On 21 May 1651, Nicholas purchased 8 acres and a house in Portsmouth, RI from Ralph Earle. The Harts must have been living there when Nicholas died before 1661. Joana sold a piece of property that year in Taunton, Mass.
