HISTORY OF YATES COUNTY. THE HARTWELLS.
Samuel Hartwell was a native of Connecticut and married Elizabeth Wilkinson, a sister of the Universal Friend.
They came very early to the Friend's Settlement, lived in the Henderson neighborhood north of Silas Spink's, and about 1800 moved to No. 8, just south of Havens' Corners, where they erected a log house.
From there they moved to Canada and when the War of 1812 broke out were driven away, by an act of the British Parliament, allowing none to remain who were not loyal to the Crown.
They came back and lived some years in Jerusalem and moved thence to Cohocton, where Samuel Hartwell died at the age of ninety-one and his wife at about the same age. Their children were Samuel, Elizabeth, Amy, Stephen, Joseph, Elijah, Mercy, Moses, and Aaron.
Samuel was supposed to have been drowned in Niagara River. He and his brother Stephen were taken prisoners at Hull's Surrender of Detroit [War of 1812] and tried for high treason as British subjects. They were condemned to be hung, but daring a respite of the sentence, each separately escaped and endured great hardships and suffering in getting back to the protection of their country's flag.
The mother made the most heroic efforts to save her sons from the hard fate which seemed to await them but did not succeed in getting a reprieve for them. Samuel broke jail at Kingston [Ontario], Stephen passed his guards at another point, and both had noteworthy adventures in eluding a recapture.
Elizabeth Hartwell married Abel Lent and lived on Lent's Hill in Cohocton. They had several children.
Rachel Lent, one of the daughters, married William Rynders, now a citizen of Branchport.
Rosetta, her sister, was the wife of the late Caspar Hibbard, of Jerusalem.
Another sister, Maria, who was a school teacher, married John Atwell and resides near Blood Corners...
... Amy Hartwell was the mother of Samuel Street, jr., long a resident of Jerusalem. She died in Jerusalem at an advanced age...
...Stephen Hartwell married Catharine Lambert, in Canada. They lived many years in Blood's Corners, had a large family, and are now at the West.
Joseph married Polly, daughter of David Kidder, and moved West where it was reported he became wealthy.
Elijah married Triphena Bramble at Cohocton and died there leaving a number of children. His daughter Deborah married Elijah, son of Raphael Guernsey, now living in Jerusalem. Elijah Hartwell, while a young man, resident in Jerusalem, was a very prominent and active citizen.
Mercy married John Lambert, a cousin of Stephen's wife, in Canada. She died near Rochester many years ago, leaving three children, now residents of Canada.
Moses Hartwell, born in 1798, married Honor, daughter of Stephen German, of Jerusalem, and resides on land of the Friend's tract, on lot 1, Guernsey's Survey…The children of Moses Hartwell have been Mary and Olive. The latter died in her sixteenth year, and Mary is the wife of James K. Harris.
