Heinrich settled in the Williams Township area just south of the Lehigh River in Northampton Co. PA. He and his family arrived on the Plaisance in 1732. Many of the descendents are still in the Easton area, while many also migrated further north in both the Bangor/Mt. Bethel area and Stroudsburg in Monroe Co.
George arrived on the William And Sarah in 1727. He settled the area of south Bethlehem known as Saucon Valley. A large group of children and grand children settled in Adams and Westmoreland Co.'s PA. while son Leonard moved to North Carolina.
Ulrich Hartzell came to America with older brother George on the William and Sarah in 1727. Ulrich lived in Upper Salford Tsp. where the modern day borders of Montgomery Co. intersects with Bucks Co. Son Henry moved to Berks Co. PA.
Melchior was a nephew of the three brothers, Heinrich, George and Ulrich. His father Christoph died before he was able to bring his family to the United States. After arriving on the Francis and Elizabeth in 1742, Melchior first settled Haycock Township, Bucks Co. PA and then moved to Somerset Co. Son Jacob Hartzell moved to West Virginia.
Paulus arrived with cousin Heinrich on the Plaisance in 1732. He settled in Rockhill Township, Bucks Co. but accumlated land in what is now Montgomery Co. Later generations lived in on the Montgomery Co. properties near Souderton
Heinrich came to America in 1750 on the Sandwich but his heritage is not certain. There are no records to indicate a direct link with the Reihen Hartzells. Heinrich and his family lived in Lehigh Co., near the area of Macungie PA. Son Peter moved to Catawissa, Columbia Co. PA.
Conrad immigrated on the Enterprise in 1738 along with Jacob and Jacob Jr. While living later in Upper Milford Tsp., Lehigh Co. PA, he first spent several years in Germantown near Philadpelphia where severl children were baptized. He died in Northampton Co., intestate, and is buried at Plainfield. Son Conrad Jr. moved to Bellwood, Blair Co. PA which was Bedford Co. PA. at the time.
Jacob arrived on the Enterprise in 1738 with his son Jacob Jr.
Christian Hartzell came directly to Warren Co. PA after arriving in the early 1800's, much later than the other group of Hartzell's. He is realted to the large family of Hartzell's of Sundhausen France, described in the Mormon IGI index.
George Henry was born somewhere in Pennsylvania but his parents have not been firmly established. Some researchers have tied him to Conrad Sr. while Jacob Sr. would be just as strong a candidate. In either case, there is not much proof either way. George Henry came from Northampton Co. to Deerfield Tsp., Portage Co. OH in 1807.
Abraham Hartsell is the ancestor of a large group of Hartsell's in Tennesee. It is believed he came from Pennsylvania but his exact ancestry is not known. In the diary of his son, Jacob Hartsell refers to himself as Jacob Jr. leading to the idea Abraham's real name was actually Jacob. Almost all of the descendents spell the name with an "S".
Not much is known about the Mathias that came to America on the Betsy in
1739.
