The First American Hartleys ...

Early pioneer Hartleys in America [some mentioned below] are found in Pennsylvania and Virginia.

One of the earliest American Hartley Family Trees is recorded in:

The 'Hartley Record' ...
[NOTE FROM HartleyFamilyOrgUK: this connects to the ancestry of John HARTLEY [1580] of Chamber [Quaker] Bridge, Little Marsden, England - 'The HARTLEYs of Chamber' [see below]].

[many thanks to Linda Hartley for the The 'Hartley Record'] [ NOTES FROM LINDA: I HAVE TRIED TO COPY THIS INFORMATION EXACTLY AS IT IS PRINTED IN THE TEXT, INCLUDING PUNCTUATION [spelling/grammar].

The 'Hartley Record' was compiled by J.R. and William HARTLEY - two brothers of Chrisman, Ill - 1908 "This book contains the complete record of the family of Joseph HARTLEY, Jr., and Ann [nee HOULT] HARTLEY his wife, and their descendants with considerable of the records of their ancestors, who came from England to America prior to 1702; about 1682 or 1683".

PREFACE. The last written, usually, though the first read by most intelligent book men, is this page; hence it is, that authors often use this privilege to fence against adverse criticism, or apologize for errors of omission or commission. Singular forgetting the fact that nothing of man's creation is perfect and that the dear critics are not only busy pointing out "the mistakes of others," but are exploiting upon the faults of creation itself.

We welcome them all, for doubters and critics we esteem the salt of every civilization and we will rest content. That every person competent to know, after even a superficial examination will realize that the whole has not been the work of "the idle singer of an empty day."

Instead of devoting a large space to prehistoric times, it is intended to make this a live Cyclopedia which, while it preserves much that is valuable in the past, will include the names and dates of those that are molding the thoughts of the present time.

This Record, we believe, will supply an invaluable and useful means for establishing identity, of relationship, etc.

J.R. and William HARTLEY are decedents of the Fifth Generation from Edward HARTLEY, one of the pioneer brothers from England.

The HARTLEYs are of English Quaker origin, who came from the Moother [sic] Country, England, to America, prior to 1682 or 1683. There seems to have been four or more of the pioneer HARTLEYs probably brothers who came from England: they were Anthony HARTLEY, James HARTLEY, Edward HARTLEY and Henry HARTLEY.

Edward HARTLEY and Henry HARTLEY, two brothers, pioneers in America settled in Solebury township, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia prior to 1702. Anthony HARTLEY, a "Ventner" [Wine Merchant] purchased land in Philadelphia in 1714 and died there in 1732 apparently without issue, his will names no children but devise his estate to his brothers, James HARTLEY, Henry HARTLEY and his sister Mary and wife Mary.

Edward HARTLEY was a resident of Solebury when a deed was made to him May 28, 1702 for 300 acres of land there upon which he lived until his death in 1745. Tho he had conveyed the greater part thereof to his two sons Thomas and Roger HARTLEY, he was not a member of the society of Friends but his two sons, Thomas and Roger made application for membership in Buckingham Meeting in 1724. The land was located near the line of Buckingham township, and less than a mile from Buckingham Meeting-house, where the Friends of both townships worshiped until 1810, when a meeting house was erected. The will of Edward HARTLEY registered in the registrar's of will office at Doilestown in Will Book No. 2, Page 52, is dated fourth month, June 13, 1744, and was probated a year and a day later, June 14, 1745. [Under the old calendar prior to 1752, March was the first month of the year.] This will devised his estate to daughter Jennet HUGHES, his son Thomas HARTLEY, and his son Roger's seven children as they arrive at the age of 21 years, real estate to sons, Thomas and John HARTLEY;

Roger HARTLEY, the second son, died September 3, 1743, in his 41st year, he had married June 21, 1727, Rebecca PACKER who after his death married Matthew ASPDEN, and had a son Matthew ASPDEN, Jr., who died without issue leaving an immense estate to his half-brothers and sisters and their representatives, then much scattered over the United States which has been a source of considerable agitation and litigation among the HARTLEYs to this day.

[NOTE FROM HartleyFamilyOrgUK: LDS RECORDS SHOW ROGER'S FATHER AS 'SAMUEL EDWARD HARTLEY', NOT 'EDWARD HARTLEY'. ROGER'S MOTHER WAS SARAH MIDGLEY. [there are places named Midgley near Wakefield and Halifax, Yorkshire]
'SAMUEL EDWARD HARTLEY' WAS BORN 16 MAY 1666 MARSDEN, LANCASHIRE, ENGLAND.
FATHER: ROGER HARTLEY. MOTHER: ALICE VIPONT. ROGER AND ALICE MARRIED AT MARSDEN MONTHLY MEETING AND DIED IN ENGLAND SO DID NOT EMIGRATE.
SAMUEL EDWARD HARTLEY AND SARAH MIDGLEY MARRIED 14 NOV 1693 AT HEPTONSTALL, LANCASHIRE, ENGLAND.
SAMUEL EDWARD HARTLEY DIED 14 JUN 1745 AND WAS BURIED 'NOT A QUAKER'.

Roger and Alice's children were - Anthony Hartley * - James Hartley * - Henry Hartley * - Mary Hartley - Jane Hartley - Ann Hartley - Ellen Hartley - Alice Hartley - Judah Hartley - Jennet Hartley - Edward Hartley ** so that confirms the four pioneer brothers, Anthony, Henry, James and Edward]

continued The First American Hartleys [Part Two]

In the USA, a few of the Hartleys in the USA go back a long way ... some of the earliest records show Hartleys in Accomack, Virginia; Patterson's Creek, Hampshire, Virginia; Westmoreland Co, , , Virginia; Hampshire, Kentucky; Sassafras River, Stephen's Parish, Cecil, Maryland; Colleton, South Carolina; and Solebury, Lahaska, Bucks, Pennsylvania as early as 1680-1700
most Hartleys journeyed and settled there much later on with waves of emigrants from England and Ireland.

In 1840 - 36% of Hartleys lived in OH/PA = 244 families in total in USA

by 1880 - 40% of Hartleys lived in IL/IN/OH/PA/NY = 5763 families in total in USA

by 1920 - 41% of Hartleys lived in CA/MO/IL/IN/OH/PA/NY - 4185 families in total in USA

40% were Farmers [1880] against 35% for the total population.
