The following information on Zachariah Herzog is quoted directly from Rev. Lewis Hartsough's "Hartsough Family".
"General George Hartsuff says three brothers came from Germany before the Revolutionary War. One settled about New York City, on in New Jersey, and the third near Wilmington, Delaware. There were in three generations a Hartsough named Zachariah. I do not know where the first Zachariah was born - no doubt in Germany - but he was one of three three brothers referred to, who settled in New Jersey. Among his children born in New Jersey was the second Zachariah and one Mary Hartough, who married Ananias Smith. Another daughter (name unknown) married one of the earliest pioneer Methodist preachers on central New York, Rev. Awing? or Owen."
"This second Zachariah was born about 1758 or 1760 in Rahway, N.J. and was the father by the same mother of 16 boys and 2 girls. The girls grew up but never married. The oldest son was named Nathaniel and was born about 1781. After his father's death he moved to Union County, Pennsylvania and changed the spelling of the name to Hartsuff."
"The youngest son, the 3rd Zachariah, was born near Wilkesburg (Wilkes-Barre), Pennsylvania in 1806. The Indian's burning of the tannery, sawmill and distillery in Hartsuff's Creek induced the second Zachariah to move with his family to Tompkins County, N.Y., near Ithaca, when the third Zachariah was only four or five years old."

Hi John,
ReplyDeleteWish I could tell you where to find a copy. The information I got came from Mary Mae Hartsough's book. There might be a copy in the Library of Congress, but am not too sure. Also the New York City Library might have a copy, but I haven't checked there either.
Any information you might have would be helpful and if you don't mind I would like to put it on the blog.
