HARTWELL
This branch of the Hartwell family, nine generations of which are mentioned in this article, is descended from William Hartwell, an immigrant from England, who was one of the founders of old Concord, Massachusetts, and whose posterity are now widely distributed through many states in the Union.(I) William Hartwell, with several other intelligent Englishmen who were desirour of worshipping unmolested according to the dictates of their conscience, settled in Concord in Sept., 1635. Receving an allotment of land amounting to about nine acres, he erected his dwelling house on the Lexington or old "Bay" road, about one mile east of the public square. He was made freeman in 1642, and in 1653 signed a petition asking the general court to authorize the establishment of the adjoining town of Chelmsford. As the settlement of Concord advanced in growth and prosperity, his possessions increased, and in 1666, when the board of selectmen found it necessary to make clear the titles and boundaries of each proprietor, he was one of the largest real estate holders in the town, owning nineteen separate tracts, the whole comprising some two hundred and forty-seven acres. Though not conspicuous for his prominence in the town government, he nevertheless fulfilled with marked ability his share of public service, both civil and military, and possessed the confidence of his fellow-townsmen. He was one of a committee of nine, formulated in 1672, for the purpose of framing rules for the guidance of the selectmen; was appointed a corporal in 1671; quartermaster in 1673; and ws subsequently chosen cornet of the Second Troop of Horse, Middlesex county militia. He was probably about twenty-three years old at the time of his settlement in Concord, and his death occurred March 12, 1690, in the seventy-seventh year of his age.Jazan, his wife, who was born in England in 1608, died in Concord, Aug. 5, 1695. Children:1. Sarah, married Benjamin Parker, of Billerica; died July 8, 1674.2. John.3. Samuel, born March 26, 1645; died July 16, 1725.4. Martha, April 25, 1649; died prior to 1690. (II) John, eldest child of William and Jazan Hartwell, was born in Concord, Dec. 23, 1640; died Jan. 12, 1702-03. He served in Captain Wheeler's company, which marched to the defence of Quaboag (now Brookfield) during King Philip's war, and in 1689-90 was made a freeman of the colony. June 1, 1664, he married (first) Priscilla, daughter of Edward and Elizabeth Wright, who died March 3, 1680-81, and on August 23, 1682, he married (second) her sister Elizabeth. She died Dec. 16, 1704.Children:1. Ebenezer, born Feb. 28, 1665; died Jan. 1, 1723-24.2. John, April 15, 1669.3. Samuel, Oct. 9, 1673; died Dec. 31. 1694.4.

Elizabeth, Dec. 23, 1684; probably the one who married Samuel Wilson.9. Edward.10. Jonathan, Feb. 15, 1692, died Oct. 18, 1713. (III) Edward, son of John and Elizabeth (Wright) Hartwell, was born in Concord, Aug. 23, 1689; died Feb. 17, 1785. In 1707-08 he was a soldier in the colonial forces serving against the allied French and Indians; he was a sergeant in the militia in 1722, and subsequently attained the rank of major. When a young man he located in Lancaster, Mass., where he married Sarah, daughter of Thomas Wilder, and in 1724 removed to Lunenburg, Mass. A man of gigantic stature and unusual physical strength, his mental powers were equally superior, and possessing a remarkably forcible character he was especially fitted for leadership in a newly settled county. He was therefore one of the most conspicuous figures on the frontier in his day. For many years he acted as a justice of the peace; was judge of the court of common pleas from 1750 to 1762; a member of the committee of safety from 1773 to 1776; and when more than eighty years of age represented Lunenburg in the general court. He lived to be over ninety-five years old, surviving his wife, who died Aug. 7, 1764, aged eighty years. Children:Jonathan, died young.Sarah.Ashael.Elizabeth.Edward.Jonathan.Joseph.Joseph.Benjamin.Phineas. (IV) Jonathan, son of Edward and Sarah (Wilder) Hartwell, was born Sept. 21, 1719.

His name appears in a petition for a garrison at Lancaster for protection against hostile savages, and he also petitioned with others for a new road.He married Nancy Daggett, born in 1753 or 1754, and she survived him many years, dying April 21, 1838.Children:Edward.Jonathan.Alfred.Nancy, and probably others. (VI) Alfred, son of Jonathan (2) and Nancy (Daggett) Hartwell, was born in Lancaster, New Hampshire, in 1796. In early life he resided for a time in Bennington, Vermont, going thence to Keeseviklle, N.Y. in 1822, and in 1839 established himself as a woolen manufacturer at Ausable Forks. In 1845 he removed to Plattsburgh, and resided there for the remainder of his life. He was married in 1819 to Fanny Bronson; her death occurred about 1865. (VII) William Wallace, son of Alfred and Fanny (Bronson) Hartwell, was born July 28, 1821. He became a prosperous merchant and manufacturer, and was one of the most prominent business men of Plattsburgh and vicinity, carrying on an iron foundry, operating flouring mills, dealing in lumber and conducting an extensive grocery and hardware business. His surplus capital was invested wisely in real estate and in numerous local enterprises which rendered excellent financial returns, and he was connected with various banks.Mr. Hartwell died in Plattburgh, 1891. He married June 3, 1852, Maria McLean, of Stillwater, N.Y., born Oct. 18, 1829. She became mother of five children, four of whom died unmarried.

D., whose line of descent is as follows: (she married (second) Oct. 1909, Walter Geer Rogers of Ausable Forks.) Dr. Clarkson Crosby Schuyler was a descendant in the seventh generation of Philip Pieteire Van Schuyler (1), a native of Holland, who settled in Albany, N.Y. about the middle of the seventeenth century, was commissioned captain in 1667 and died there May 9, 1683.

SECOND ENTRY: The Hartwell family in England is traced back to the days of William and Conqueror, who allotted land to one of his followers in Normandy by the name of Hartwell, perhaps the progenitor of all the English families of that name. He must have been born as early as 1050 A.D. Although the American progenitor's ancestry is not definitely known, he is probably a descendant of this ancient family, and he is undoubtedly the ancestor of all the American families of that name.(I) William Hartwell, immigrant ancestor, was born in England about 1613. He was among the first settlers of Concord, in New England, in 1636, and was admitted a freeman May 18, 1642. He signed a petition for the grant of Chelmsford in 1653.

The Homestead
The homestead was built in that part of Concord that later became Lincoln, on the road that became Highway 2A between Lincoln & Concord.The British marched past this house on the way to Concord. They didn't burn it, though they DID burn many others. One British soldier put his bayonet through a window. Sgt. Samuel Hartwell, a gunsmith, and his w. Mary Flint, were living in the house at the time.
The house burned down ca 1956. The gigantic brick hearth remains within the National Park, just to the east of the Hartwell Tavern

Family history
Taken from: Historic homes and institutions and genealogical and personal memoirs of Worcester County, Massachusetts:with a history of Worcester Society of Antiquity, Volume 4, by Eleanor Bicknell Crane. The Lewis Publishing Company, 1907
THE HARTWELL FAMILY in England is traced back to the days of William, the Conqueror, who allotted land to one of his followers from Normandy by the name of Hartwell, perhaps the progenitor of all the English families of that name. He must have been born as early as 1050, A. D. Although the American progenitor's ancestry is not definitely known, he is probably a descendant of this ancient family and he is undoubtedly the ancestor of all the American families of the name.
(I) William Hartwell, the immigrant ancestor of the family, was born in England about 1613. He was among the first settlers of Concord, in New England, in 1636, and was admitted a freeman May 18, 1642. He signed the petition for the grant of Chelmsford in 1653. He was commissioned a corporal in 1671 and quartermaster in 1673. He had a homestead in Concord a mile east of the common on the road to Lexington, lately occupied by E. W. Bull. In 1666 he owned two hundred and fortyseven acres of land and was among the largest taxpayers of the town. He died March 12, 1690, aged seventy-seven years. His wife Jazan deposed May 11, 1675. that she was sixty-seven years old, which would fix her birthday in 1608. She died August, 1695. Their children were: Sarah, died July , 1674; married. April 18, 166r, Benjamin Parker, of Billerica, April 18, 1661; John, of whom later; Mary, probablv born 1643, died February 13, 1695-6; married Jonathan Hill; Samuel, born March 26, 1645, died July 26, 1725; married Ruth Wheeler, daughter of George and Catherine Wheeler; Martha, born May 25, 1649, died before 1690.
(II) John Hartwell, eldest son and second child of William Hartwell (1), was born in Concord, Massachusetts, December 23, 1640, and died of smallpox, January 12, 1702-3. He married, June 1, 1664, Priscilla Wright, daughter of Edward and Priscilla Wright. She died March 3, 1680-81. He married (second), August 23, 1682, his first wife's sister, Elizabeth Wright, who died December 16, 1704. He served with Captain Thomas Wheeler's company at Brookfield and elsewhere in King Philip's war. He was admitted a freeman, March 21, 1689-90.
His children were: Ebenezer, of whom later; John, born April 15, 1669, married Sarah Shepard; Samuel, born October 9, 1673, died December 31, 1694; Sarah, born February 12. 1676-7, married Ebenczer Lamson; William, born December 22. 1678, died July 10, 1762; married Abigail Hosmer; Joseph, born January 24, 1680-1, married Ruhamah Cutter, of Charlestown; Elizabeth, born October 23, 1683, died young; Elizabeth, born December 23, 1684, probably the one who married Samuel Wilson; Edward, born August 23. 1689, died February 17. 1785; soldier in 1708-9 campaigns; married Sarah Wilder; he was major, justice of the peace, judge of the court of common pleas, representative to the general court until past eighty years old, was on committee of safety and correspondence, the most conspicuous man of his day in Concord; Jonathan, born February 15, 1691-2, died October 18. 1713; married (first) Elizabeth Brown and (second) Sarah Wheeler.

William Hartwell:
Notes:
William was either an original 1635 settler of Concord, or he arrived in the spring of 1636 when he was awarded "the fifth allotment from Meriam's corner" and nine acres of land. He married his wife at about that time and was made a freeman in May of 1642.In 1659 he and four other men petitioned the General court for assistance in maintaining the bridges across the Concord River. With Timothy Wheeler, William was road overseer in the west quarter in 1663-64. By 1666 the Hartwells were large land holders, with 157 acres of land "be they more or less" in twenty separately described tracts. William was appointed corporal of the 2nd troop of horse for Middlesex County in 1671. William and Jazan probably lived out their lives at the Hartwell farm, which is in present day Lincoln.
