Hello Indiana County, I recently came across some information regarding the Cookport Evangelical Lutheran Church, Cookport, Green Twp., in which a Conrad G. Hartman & Catherine Hartman are listed as having been confirmed in the Reformed faith, and received the sacrament on 23 Oct. 1853. In Dec. of 1855 Conrad Hartmann, along with Henry Houck & others was a signer of a constitution & organized a congregation. Does anyone know ANYTHING about this Conrad or Catherine Hartman?? or Henry Houck?? Is this the Henry Houck (Heinrich Hauck born Bavaria, Germany about 1821, married to Elizabeth Myers??? Who was his second wife?? Does anyone know anything about a Henry Hartman, who immigrated in Sept. of 1841 or 1844 to Indiana County from Germany? His sponsors were H. Conrad & Peter Kinter Henry Houck also immigrated from Germany in Sept. of 1844?, and his sponsors were John Weamer & Henry Kinter Are Peter & Henry Kinter brothers? Thanks for any help anyone can give me. Jean Klein

I cannot give you a lot of information. My 2nd great grandfather was Moses Crawford. He died in Indiana County, PA in 1831. Moses had two wives. The first was Nancy Scroggs. She died prior to Moses coming to Indiana County. He married Mary Jamieson and they came to Indiana County. Moses and Nancy had several children - among them was Jennet. Moses and Mary had several children. Moses died intestate and the settling of the estate went on for a long time - years. I don't know a lot about the law. I have papers pertaining to an inquisition in which Henry Kinter served as a witness. I find Jennet listed as daughter of Moses and wife of Henry Hartman. I can't tell you when Jennet was born. Census records of Wheatfield Township, Westmorland County, PA show Moses and Nancy in 1800 with 2 girls 10 years or younger. Two girls in 1810 are age 10-16 and there is another girl 10 or under. By 1817 Nancy was deceased. I don't know exactly when she died. I do have a letter Moses wrote to Mary Jamieson in 1817. This was when he went to visit his mother in KY. They were not married at that time. The letter is written to Miss Mary Jamieson. By 1820 they have one little girl in the household age 10-16. The other two are gone. At that time we pretty much have to guess marriage is what took the two older girls out of the household. Jennet could be any one of the girls. If your Henry Hartman is Jennet's Henry Hartman and he did not come till 1841 it would seem unlikely he was her 1st husband even if she was the girl age 10-16 in 1820 but it is possible she married late. It is 1831 when Moses died and the inquest took place in 1854. Here is where Henry Kinter served as a witness and where it is stated Jennet is child of Moses Crawford and wife of Henry Hartman. At that time your Henry would have been here 14 years and entirely possible he is Jennet's husband. I know I have provided you with much you probably don't need. If it is possible for you to go to Indiana County and visit the historical association's library I would really recommend it. I was able to be there only a short while but the visit really did help me.
