My name is Hardie Hartung. My great-grandfather was Conrad Hartung and my great-grandmother was Anna Elisabeth Trube(Truby). My known connection to Armstrong County, PA, is that my great-grandparents and their three oldest sons left Freeport,Armstrong,PA by barge between 1855 and 1861. They went by barge to Pomeroy,Meigs,OH were they settled and had four more sons and one daughter. The daughter is believed to have died at an early age. Sometime after the last child was born, my great-grandparents and the youngest four boys left OH and went to the Junction City,Geary,KS area where they stayed. I do know that my great-grandfather arrived in this country during the early 1840s and served in the Mexican-American War. Because he was a teenager then I don't think they were married then. The oldest of the children was born in 1851. I do not know if they were married in PA, but according to the OH Census of 1870, the three oldest children were born in PA. Also, according to this same census, my great-grandparents were both born in Germany. My wife and I have a home page on Family Tree Maker - The Hartung-Ritter Family. This page has a descendant tree, which is my current knowledge of the tree. I would appreciate any help in tracing the PA connection for both the Hartung and Trube(Truby) sides of the family.
