bullet John HARTMAN was born in Nov 1757 in Berks Co., Pennsylvania. He died in Jan 1847 in Bloomsburg, Columbia Co., Pennsylvania. He served in the military Revolutionary War in Pennsylvania. He was a Farmer.
The best source of information on John Hartman's early life comes from an application for a government pension which he submitted in 1833. All surviving Revolutionary War veterans were given a pension by the federal government by special legislation enacted in 1832. In order to obtain this pension, an application or affadavit of service had to be submitted for review. This had to give a description of service including date of enlistment, the name of the military unit, names of officers served under, and date of discharge.
John mentions in his application that he was born in Berks county in November 1757. The exact date and place of birth as well as the names of his parents are not mentioned and are still unknown at the time of this writing. He stated that he was living in Rockland township at the time of his first enlistment. He also mentions that he was initially drafted in a company of Pennsylvania militia in Rockland township about August 31, 1776.
One can only speculate on John's childhood years before he left home to "fight the Redcoats". Although he may have been a "hired hand" or farm laborer on another's estate or even an orphan, he was probably living with his parents at the time. They were probably immigrants from some Germanic state who arrived in Philadelphia in the 1750's. This is only speculation because there is evidence of the Hartman name in colonial America as early as the late seventeenth century.
Colonial life was full of hardships. Young John was never educated and even at the age of 75 could only make his mark instead of writing his signature on the pension claim. He was born during the French and Indian War at a time when attacks by the Delaware Indians against outlying settlements in western Berks county were common. Two years before his birth , Native American warriors on the French side had attacked a Hartman family. Henry Hartman (some accounts say John) and one of his sons had been killed. Two daughters, Regina and Barbara, were taken as captives. Barbara died in captivity but Regina was later returned to her mother in 1763. Perhaps our John was related to this family. He may have had many brothers, sisters and cousins in Pennsylvania.
An account of John's Revolutionary War service is in the pension claim. Pennsylvania militiamen were untrained and ill equipped. They were not involved in the heavy fighting at the battle of Brandywine. At Germantown, most of them fled the field of battle when "the going got tough". Later in the war, American generals developed tactics to effectively use militiamen. Our John was probably a rather confused young soldier who never fired his musket in anger. Nevertheless he endured long marches and tough conditions like so many other young American servicemen over the years. Very few of the Germanic or "Pennsylvania Dutch" immigrants were disloyal to the cause of American independence.
John was probably married between 1781 and 1785. Very little is known about his wife. Kimber Hartman's "History of the Hartman Family" and an undated and unsigned "History of the Early Hartman Family" which I obtained from Jennifer Hall mention that his wife's name was Margaret Shortly.
The only other source for determining John's wife's name is a letter of administration issued by the Columbia County Register for the Probate of Wills after his death. It mentions that his wife's first name was Susanna. Perhaps she was known by both first names or maybe John was married twice.
John's children were Jacob Hartman, Susannah Hartman Harris, John Hartman Jr., George Hartman, Joseph Hartman, Adam Hartman, Charles Hartman, Polly (or Mary) Hartman, and Catherine Hartman Billick. He did not relocate from Berks county to the small village of Buckhorn in Columbia county until about 1796 or 1797 as he states in the pension claim. Most of these children were probably born in Berks county. John was probably about forty years of age when this move took place.
According to the early Hartman histories, he at first moved on to the wrong tract of land which was behind the then (1915) Theodore Dent farm near Buckhorn. After having already built a rude log house there, he learned he was on the wrong land and had to relocate to a tract which in 1915 was known as the Andy Beagle farm. He cleared the land and built a house and barn from logs. John and his family lived at this site for many years. Over time, his children grew to maturity and left home to raise their own families.
The original homesite is located alongside present day Ivey Drive and is shown as Lot 25 on a recent tax map given to me by Rev. Dale Neufer.
Eventually John moved to what was in 1915 called the William Earnest farm so that his son George Hartman could move onto the larger original farm with his large family.
Amos Hartman, one of George's sons, lived at his grandfather John's house for a number of years until John's death in January of 1847. John grew blind in his old age and died after falling down the cellar stairs. He died at the age of 89. I have no information as to when his wife died. It was of course after his death because she is mentioned in his will. John and his wife were buried in the old Lutheran Cemetary in Bloomsburg. This cemetary, remains-coffins-headstones, was moved to the old Rosemont Cemetary many years ago to make room for a school. A number of Hartman family members have tried to find the headstone of John and his wife but have had no luck. There are many headstones and markers that are completely worn away. I have given up on ever finding the gravesite.
Perhaps John and his wife's bones lie under the school! Some other family researchers and I jokingly think this is why so many of his descendants entered the teaching profession! Parents: Michael HARTMAN and Magdalena (Hartman).

Children were: Susannah HARTMAN .

bulletMichael HARTMAN died on 20 Nov 1768 in Berks Co., Pennsylvania. He was born in Germany.

Children were: John HARTMAN.

bulletSusannah HARTMAN Photo was born in 1787 in Pennsylvania. She died on 10 Nov 1869 in Saint Joseph Co., Indiana.
Probably the second of Revolutionary War John Hartman's children was Susannah Hartman. She was born in 1787 in Berks county and may have been given either the first name or middle name of her mother - Susannah Margaret or Margaret Susannah Shortley Hartman. This is unsure though.
She came with her parents to Buckhorn in Columbia county at about the age of ten. Around 1807, she married Jacob Harris. Research seems to indicate that he was the son of a Scot immigrant who had died on the voyage across the Atlantic. Jacob had probably been bound to John Hartman to help pay for the passage or to ease the financial burden on his widowed mother.
Susannah Harris and Jacob may have lived with John Hartman for a while after their marriage or lived nearby. There is a possibility that they lived just to the north of Buckhorn in Greenwood township. Around 1815, they moved to Stark county in Ohio. In the spring of 1829, Jacob again moved to an area of St. Joseph county in Indiana not far from South Bend and Mishawaka and put in a wheat crop. His family soon followed. This area was called Harris Prarie and the township named Harris township after this pioneering family.
Susannah's children were John Harris, Sarah Harris, James Harris, Permilla Harris, William Harris, Thomas McLaughlin Harris, Jacob Harris, Hannah Harris, Eliza Harris, George Harris, D. Wayne Harris, and possibly Marcus Harris. Needless to say, there are many Harris descendants today!
Jacob Harris died on March 5, 1860 in Harris Prarie. Susannah Harris followed him on November 10, 1869. They were well known as kind and caring pioneers who hosted many travelers and opened up a new area of the western frontier.
