INDIANA HARTWELL FAMILIES

These families, or some of them may have originated in Virginia, although it is possible that New York State was their original home, or perhaps Tennessee. There seem to be three or more distinct groups of families in Jennings County Indiana. They may all be descended from REUBEN or possible brothers of REUBEN who is said to have gone to Indiana from New York State. One brother, OLIVER is said to have gone to Oregon, and was never heard of again. The first one known is:

There seem to be three other family
groups, in Jennings County, Indiana. They
may or may not be related to each other or
to the REUBEN family group, as no one in
Vernon seems able to give a coherent
account of their families or connections.
These families are headed by PHILLIP,
DILLAS, and JOHN, and the list of
descendants is sketchy, incomplete
and unsatisfactory. The name DILLAS is
unique. There was a JAMES HARTWELL
in Naples, NY in 1830 who m. HANNAH
GARFIELD, and had four sons and two
daughters. One of the sons, born
probably soon after 1809, was DILLAS,
and he, with his brothers, WILLIAM,
SIMPSON, and JAMES went to Indiana.
There may be some connection between
these men, and the Vernon HARTWELLS,
which further research may establish.
