HISTORY OF COLUMBIA & MONTOUR COUNTIES, PENNSYLVANIA; FHC #974.83 H2bh, pg 341; Biographical sketch of Henry C. Hartman...The Hartman family of Bloomsburg is descended from Nicholas and Isabella Hartman, of Baden-Baden, Germany.
Their son William, at the age of twelve or thirteen came to America, September 14, 1753, locating temporarily at Bristol, Bucks, Co., Penn., and paid for his passage to this country after his arrival. He was a tanner by trade, and later settled half-way between Bloomsburg and Berwick previous to the massacre of Wyoming. One day on his return from the mill he found his cabin in ruins, having been set on fire by the
Indians. His wife had discovered the presence of the savages in time to escape with her infant child, and was overtaken by her husband while on her way to Catawissa. There they afterward settled. He was a man of very genial nature, kind to the poor, and a pioneer known far and wide as one of good repute. He and his pioneer wife are both buried in the old Quaker graveyard at Catawissa. There he was probably
married, his wife's madien name being Frances Reamy. He owned about 300 acres of land, which with the aid of his children he cleared up; he died aged about eighty-three years. He and is wife were Lutherans, parents of twelve children, of whom Thomas was the father of Henry C., the subject of this sketch...(see Thomas Hartman) side or the other had to be recognized, his sympathies were with the American
colonies. He was a tanner by trade, tanned hides for the Indians, and prepared all kinds of furs. He lived here until his death, after which the
estate was divided, and Casper got a third of the homestead.
