John David DeHart was born in the 1950s in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, British West Indies, son of Dwain Lee DeHart (1925–1986) and Helen Patricia Mann (1924–2001). John's family was in Trinidad because his father was working for Alcoa there.
John's family moved several times:
- from Trinidad to the Pittsburgh Pennsylvania area in 1960.
- to Edison, New Jersey in about 1963.
- back to the Pittsburgh Pennsylvania area in about 1970 when John was in the middle of fifth grade.
- one last move for the family was in about 1973 to Massena New York, just before John started eighth grade.
John graduated from Massena Central High School in 1978.
John attended Washington University in St. Louis from 1978 to 1984 earning Bachelor's degrees in each of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering and a Master's degree in Computer Science.
After graduation John worked for 4-5 years for AT&T Bell Laboratories in Holmdel New Jersey.
John moved back to St. Louis in September of 1989 to take a job in the Applied Research Laboratory in the Computer Science Department at Washington University, where he still works today.

We are both descended from Elias Richard DeHart. Glad to have you on WikiTree. Let me know if I can be of any help. It’s so much fun!

Thanks! One question I have down the DeHart branch is the connection that goes Elias Richard DeHart -- John DeHart -- William J. DeHart Sr. I have some information that it might actually go through Reuben(or Rubin) William DeHart instead of John DeHart. I'm still trying to work that out though. Have you seen any evidence of Elias Richard DeHart having a son Reuben?
Regards, John
If you aren't already a member of familysearch, it's absolutely free and a great resource.
I know I have a copy of Andrew Jackson DeHart's [De_Hart-982] listing of DeHart genealogy. He was Martin's brother. I'll poke around and see what I've done with it and see if Reuben is on it. Very exciting!
Tabor
P.S. -- for context, Andrew Jackson and Martin's sister Lydia Jane was my great great grandmother. :)

Are you aware of this: http://www.collectornuts.com/ The http://www.collectornuts.com/surnames.html link there will lead to a link for their research on the 'DeHart' surname: http://collectornuts.com/dehart.pdf Between work and travel, I have not had time to dig through the references to verify anything yet.
Regards, John
I, too, have that pesky thing called a career. I try to do what I can in-between work and home. I get it!
