Surnames: Oyler, Oiler, Hartman, Brooks, Kelly, Colter, Reynolds Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GBC.2ACI/290.1 Message Board Post: Sarah Hartman, born 1795 and married Tunis Brooks on 1/24/1815 was the daughter of John Hartman, Jr. and Hannah Kelly of Roanoke, VA. Her siblings were George (married Nancy Brodkin), Abraham (married Catherine Hardabarger), Catherine, Michael, Elizabeth, Susanna and Lewis Hartman (who I am descended from). John Hartman, Sr.'s spouse is unknown. Hannah Kelly's parents were John Kelly and Catharine Hartman. Another mind twister: Sally Brooks, Tunis's sister married Lewis Oyler who I am also descended from. All were from Botetourt County, Back Creek, VA. May have been descended from the Germanna Colonies who were a large group of Germans who went specifically to Back Creek to work in the mines in the late 1600's and early 1700's.
