This is information on George MORTIZ and Anna Margaretha Craydle WOLF HARTMAN. They may have resided in York Co, Lancaster Co, Berkeley Co, WV, Washington Co, MD, And Pendleton Co, WV. The only children for which we have total proof is John Peter born April 2, 1768 and baptized April 24, 1768 in the Christ's Reformed Church in York County, PA. The translated record reads Parents: George MARCUS and Anna Margaretha HARTMAN. Sponsor, Peter Wolf, Grandfather. According to Christ's Reformed Church Records, Anna Margaretha was born December 20, 1746 at John Peter's birth. The other child with proof is Moritz who was born October 20, 1784 and baptized October 27, 1784 in the Reformed Church of Shepherdstown, VA/WV. The record says Parents were MORITZ (MAURETZ) and Margaretha Hartman. Sponsors: Johannes MOHR and wife, Elisabeth. Does anyone know who johannes and Elisabeth Mohr are? Children of George & Anna :First is Henry born February 21, 1775, place unknown, but probably Berkeley County. He married first to Catherine FRESHOVER on February 16, 1796 in Berkeley County. According to Morton, he married 2nd Eve FULTZ and 3rd to Elizabeth WISE on May 26, 1825 in Pendleton.. The next child mentioned is James. Morton says he left when young and was never heard from. The census index has a James Hartman in 1810 living in Estill Co., KY. Does anyone know more about him? Moritz is listed next.Moritz was born 10-20-1784 in Washingon Co, MD. He married Elizabeth COOK and Sarah HAROLD HOOVER. John is child #4.. Morton says John married Mary HUNTER in 1795.A great grand daughter of John says Mary says Mary was a FISCHER. Does anyone know anything? Child #5 is Daniel.. He married Mary TILLER on December 24, 1811 in Pendleton. 1830, 50-60yrs in 1840, Daniel was born around 1788. Margaret is Child #6. She was born January 4, 1787 and died April 6, 1883. She married July 15, 1807 in Pendleton to Jacob BOLTON. Child #7 is Elizabeth. Morton says she married John George DAHMER in 1796. There is no proof. We believe that Elizabeth died between June, 1807 (birth of last child) and November 20, 1810, when George remarried to Nancy Skidmore. Child #8 is Mary. Morton says she married Jacob CLAYTON. No proof. Mary must have been born 1780-1782. There are supposedly 7-8 other children.
