Samuel Hart (1747 – October 3, 1810) was an American merchant and politician. Born in England to Jewish parents, he moved to Philadelphia, and later to Nova Scotia where he ran in import/export business. It is here that he met Joseph "Weasel" Thomas, a highwayman, who at the time was working as a carpenter, mostly producing tables and chairs out of the local Eastern White Pine. When in 1798 Samuel's brother Moses Hart, working as a merchant in London, declared bankruptcy, the import/export business came under threat since Samuel had acted as a guarantor on some of his brother's debt obligations. This financial pressure led Samuel to become a fence, using his export network to move valuables that Weasel had stolen during his robberies.
