Handrick/Henry Hartough/Herzog - 2nd Generation ca 1715 -

Information from Howard Dale Hartough states that Handrick was probably born around 1715. He married Anna Marie Leckenar and they lived in New York City where their first child, Catherine, was baptized at the First Reformed Church in 1744. They must have moved to New Jersey sometime before 1750 and he died there on his farm before or during the Revolutionary War. The immediate family for the most part remained and still live in New Jersey. Howard Dale also states that Handrick is a brother to Peter and that they both can be seen in the Janeway books of New Jersey. The lawsuit between Handrick and Peter is also described by Howard in his book "The Hartough Family in America", which was written in th 1970s.

It would seem that there was little or no contact between the families of Peter and Handrick after their separation in the 1750's. However, two pieces of information seem to contradict this. The first is, that George Hartsock, a great grandson of Peter, was sometimes described as being from New Jersey, when in fact he was probably from Maryland or Virginia. The second is, that Cornelius DeHart Hartough, the great-grandson of of Handrick, emigrated to Warren County, Ohio in the 1830's or 1840's. Not too far from where he lived near Lebanon, the families of George, William and Elijah lived between Waynesville and Xenia. There is no proof that they actually knew each other, but it is a little too coincidental that members of both families emigrated to the same location.
