Harty Family History

All of the information shared below was given to me by my Third Cousin, twice removed, Mr. Paul Hampton Harty, Jr. This man is a treasure and I hope to meet him very soon! Thank you, Paul for all of the time you have invested in digging up our family roots. 

The Harty Family

Hans Jocobsen Hartje:

Hans Jacobsen Hartje, a weaver, was born in Berne, Switzerland around 1645 probably while his parents were traveling from Holland to America.The last name was also known as Harte, Hertjie, Herte, Harding, and Sardingh. The name Hartje was pronounce Har-ti-a and Hertche by some. He was known as Hans Jacobsen Sardingh on the ships manifest of De Bonte Koe or "The Spotted Cow". Sardingh is pronounced as Harding, thus the name used by some to identify him. His name translated into English is John Jacob Harty, but in Dutch, the middle name Jacobsen indicates that he is probably the son of Jacob (because the the "sen" added to Jacob), and Jacob's wife was probably Frena (all based on the Dutch naming system), since Frena was the name given to his second natural born daughter.

Hans Jacobsen Hartje married Geertje Lambertse Moll (the "se" on the end of Lambertse indicates that she was the daughter of Lambert Mol/Moll). Hans and Geertje were married on 29 July 1668 in Nieuw Amsterdam, Nieuw Netherlands. Hans and Geertje raised ten children. The first child was either adopted or born out of wedlock but she was raised as a Hartje.

Children:

1.     Barbara Hanse Hartje B. 31 Jan 1666  New York, Kings, New York (England conquered the Dutch and changed the name from Nieuw Amsterdam to New York and the county to Kings, New York). D. 8 July 1749. M. Jacob Jacobsen Kool/Cool.

2.     Tryntie Hanse Hartje C. Catherine for maternal grandmother Tryntie Pieterse Kowenhoven March 1670. M. Peter Paulusse.

3.     Frena Hanse Hartje C. Frena for her paternal grandmother Frena C. 26 Aug 1671 M. Jurre Jansen Mares.

4.     Koenradt/Conrad Hansen Hartje (Our Direct Ancestor) C. 26 Nov 1673 M. Leuntie Miggilse Kool/Cool daughter of Miggil/Michael Kool and Elizabeth Vreeland, on 31 Dec 1698. D. Dec 1712.

5.      Lambert Hansen Hartje C. 26 Apr 1676 named for Lambert Huybertson Moll, his maternal grandmother.

6.     Reyer/Roger Hanse Hartje C. 27 Feb 1678 D. Early

7.     Johannes/John Hansen Hartje B. 10 July 1679 M. Else Wietse Banta.

8.     Jacob Hanse Hartje B. 26 Nov 1671 M. Tryntje Stratemaker

9.     Lambert Hansen Hartje B. 21 Nov 1673

10.   Ameline/Emeline Hanse Hartje B. 4 Nov 1685 M. Johannes Veveelen.

**** As you will note above, the Dutch had a naming system that made it possible to identify the lineage of families. The first female baby was named after the mother's mother and the first male baby after the father's father. The second daughter was named after the father's mother and the second son was named after mother's father.****

Our direct descendant, Conrad, did not fit this naming system. His name should have been Jacob Hansen Hartje. Some researchers seem to think that he was named after his father's brother, Conradt, while other think that his father, Hans Jacobsen Hartje should have been called Hans Conradse hartje and that the Jacobsen name came to be associated with his name, as he and his grandson Hans Jacobsen Hartje were confused by early researchers. The grandson "Hans Jacobsen Hartje" was the son of Conrad. His name should have been Hans Conradsen Hartje but he was known as Hans Jacobsen Harty. Some say that he was called Hans Jacobsen Hartje after his grandfather, breaking the Dutch tradition, and this caused confusion between him and his grandfather in historical accounts.*****A special thank you for additional information received from "Hartje to Harty" Please visit this site:

Please allow me to reintroduce Mr. James Reed Brannock

On 2/12/13, I introduced James Reed Brannock. Please read :"Tragedy Strikes the Brannock Family Again". I would like to share a few photos I have since received of James, and a story of how friends  are found in the most unexpected places. 

When I set out to start this blog, I relied on family members, a few photos, and leaned heavily on online resources. I often find little gems of knowledge, but by the time I get there, I have no idea how to describe my path. This is what happened to me in regards to James. 

I can tell you that I came across the most adorable blog:

http://lauravanderbeek.blogspot.com/

Laura had this fantastic class photo with graduation program listing all students.  I asked her if she would share it with me, and she did! What I would love to know is which of these folks is James.

**Side note on Laura. She is wonderful! Her family too came from Stoddard County, Missouri. She has been eager to share information and/or anything she thinks might be of interest to me. I tried desperately to make her my cousin, but alas, have not found that thread yet.  She was able to get me in touch with a Harty family member, that yielded more information than I could have ever imagined. More on Paul Harty to come.....**

The only other photograph I have of James is from the scrapbook I speak so highly of.

William Raymond Grace is my great grand uncle. I am happy to report that he was present at every roll call until he came home and kissed his mother.

When property rental was $25 a month!

My 3 x Great Grandmother, Amanda Elizabeth Campbell, and her son, Milton W. Brannock owned multiple plots of land in Stoddard County, Missouri.

I recently discovered a lawsuit they brought upon a renter that did not pay.

The lawsuit was filed in 1914:

Mr. Bacon rented from Milton and Amanda from 8/1/1914 - 12/31/1914. No rent money was ever received, therefore, they took him to court. The amount being sought was $125.00.They were awarded $116.66. The court collected this breakdown of fees:

The Priscillas ****UPDATE****

Amanda Elizabeth Bennett Harlan Campbell is my 3rd great grandmother.

Amanda was born 10 May 1869 in Alabama to John Bennett and Eliza Whitmore.

Amanda was first married to James Franklin Brannock. Amanda and James had three children:

Milton W. Brannock                     9/6/1862 - 11/22/1922

Franklin Alexander Brannock      5/21/1869 - 3/18/1961

Jason "Jasa" W. Brannock            7/6/1872 - 1/10/1903

I know that she married David Bonham Harlan 26 Nov 1882, however, the 1900 census shows Amanda as divorced. She is later referred to as Mrs. Amanda Campbell, but I have been unable to locate a marriage record to a Mr. Campbell.

Recently my mom gave me an old scrapbook that had belonged to her great grandfather, Frank A. Brannock, son of Amanda. In this book, I found a small newspaper tucked inside. A photo caught my attention. It was a group of women wearing white bonnets. As I read the caption, I realized that I was seeing the first photograph of Amanda!

The article is titled, "Are they the Priscillas?"This article was published in the Bloomfield Vindicator out of Bloomfield, Missouri. Bill Harty is the person who identified some of the women in this photo. Mrs. Campbell would be our Amanda Elizabeth Benentt Brannock Harlan Campbell. Mr. Harty also identifies his mother, Mrs. Harty. She would be Susan C. Moore Harty, my other 3rd great grandmother!

I would appreciate any information on this women's group "The Priscillas" for I have come up empty handed.
