Elizabeth Herzog - 3rd Generation
Also known as Lisabet Herzog, this daughter of Peter and Anna Margaretha (Kuntze or Schmidt) Herzog was christened on 13 February 1736 at the First Reformed Church in Raritan, New Jersey.
Nicholas Herzog - 3rd Generation
Very little is known about Nicholas who was christened at the First Reformed Church in Raritan (now Somerville), Somerset County, New Jersey on 20 April 1735.
He was probably a very young man when he moved with his father and mother from Somerset County, New Jersey to Frederick County, Maryland in the late 1740s or early 1750s.
He served in both the French-Indian War and the Revolutionary War since the following records are available.
French-Indian War
"Colonial Wars, 1740-1767, Annapolis Hall of Records:
1767 Hartsock, Nicholas, in Capt. John Middaugh's Company in Book: Colonial Muster and Pay Rolls, folio 171"
"Muster Roll of Capt. Elias Delashmut, Aug. 13, 1757. French and Indian War.
To Nicholas Hartsock 17 days service No. 136 0..17..0"
Revolutionary War
"Committee of Observation of Frederick County, Maryland. A list of Associators returned, Dec. 27, 1775:
Nicholas Hartsook"
"Accounts approved by Council, for service rendered by Nicholas Hartsock in the Revolutionary War. Paid 5 lbs., 10 shillings."
Nicholas is mentioned as a tenant is possession of 100 acres at Monocacy Manor:
"Frederick County, Maryland. State of His Lordship's Manor of Monocacy. Monocacy, 1767, No. 65. Leased Sept. 29, 1759 to Peter Hertzog, 100 acres; Margaret Hertzog, tenant in possession; annual rent, 0-10-0; alienation fine, 1-0-0, leased on lives of
Margaret Hertzog, age 55, and Nicholas Hertzog, age 32."
It must be a renewal of the lease after his father's death since it is dated 1767. It shows that he was 32 years old at the time which puts his date of birth around 1735.
Nicholas also received a patent for property in Frederick County:
"Mr. Nicholas Hartsog's Patent - 25 acres called Hartsock's Adventure. Warrant granted Nov. 6, 1759. Paper signed Aug. 14, 1760."

He later sold this property and that record mentions his wife, Catherine Elizabeth:
Sold all four tracts containing 86 A. to Jacob Stitely fro 200 pounds on Mar. 1, 1788. Wife, Catherine Elizabeth."
His son, William T. had property confiscated at the end of the Revolutionary War. This property may have been part of the original property of William's grandfather, Peter, that was leased in 1759 and continued in 1767 on the lives of Nicholas and his mother, Anna Margaretha.
"The General Assembly by various acts confiscated all the estates, real and personal, of parties attainted with treason during the Revolution. The lands thus confiscated were resurveyed and subdivided, and then sold by the State at public
venue. Among them was Monocacy Manor, in Frederick County, of 8983 acres, belonging to Daniel Dulany. This tract was confiscated by an act of November, 1780, and the sales thereof appropriated to the redemption of the certificates granted the
soldiers of the "Maryland line." These certificates were received as specie in payment of the lands or lots thus purchased. The sale took place Oct. 10, 1781, and below is given the number of the lots, with acres in same, the tenant then in possession, and the names of the purchasers........................................
Lot 45...207 acres...W.T. Hartzog..........Maj. Davidson
................735 pounds"
Nicholas married around 1756 to Catherine Elizabeth (her last name is unknown) probably in Frederick County. She died 17 September 1788 and is probably buried in the family cemetery with Nicholas. Their children's names are come from records of
the LDS church and those of Mary Mae Hartsough. No other reference has been given to prove their parentage.
Nicholas died, 4 Apr 1821 in Frederick County, Maryland. He was about 85. He may be buried in the same cemetery where his parents were buried. It was "plowed under" in the 1930s.
The children of Nicholas and Catherine Elizabeth were:
William T., born ca 1757, married Catherine Elizabeth Fogle
John Hartsock, born ca 1760, married Catherine Elizabeth Harding
Nicholas, born ca 1774, married Margaret Birely

Peter Herzog/Hartsock - 3rd generation
A son of Hans Peter and Anna Margaretha (Schmidt or Kuntze) was baptized on 4 February 1733 at the First Reformed Church in Raritan, New Jersey. He married Sara whose last name is not known at this time around 1757. They moved to Pennsylvania after his father's death in 1763 in Frederick County, Maryland. They lived in what is now Huntingdon County and in 1778 built a fort there to provide his family and neighbors with shelter from attacks by Indians.
"This fort (called Fort Hartsog) was erected for a defense of the settlers in Woodcock Valley about 1778, when a number of other minor forts were built at or about the same time in this (Huntingdon) county. This Fort is near Marklesburg on the Broad Top railroad in Penn Township. Dr. J.H. Wintrode kindly took the writer to the site of this fort and we found that it was located on a high brow of a hill on the farm now owned by David B. Brumbaugh, about 150 feet east of a public road, leading from Marklesburg to Huntingdon. There is not a vestige of the fort left to mark the place. Tradition places it upon the highest point of the Brumbaugh's farm. In appearance, the site was the most commanding in Woodcock Valley, as one can have an uninterrupted view in all directions from this point of location. The writer was unable to learn that it had ever been used for any other purpose than to harbor the settlers. This fort was located on the old Indian path coming from the eastward through the Tuscarora Valley, Aughwick, Woodcock Valley, to Hollidaysburg, and to Kittaning Point. Being on this commercial highway to the westward, the direction pursued by the traveller in early times, when in quest of a home west of the Alleghenies, it is likely that its importance to the settler, the soldier, the adventurer, in fact to all who were arrayed against the red man, was of such character as to entitle it now some memorial stone which shall preserve its history."
Even with this fort the attacks became more and more frequent and deadly and in 1779, Peter and his family moved back to Frederick County to live in peace. Around 1785, they returned to Pennsylvania.
Peter and Sarah had the following children:
Daniel, born January 12, 1759
Peter Hartsock, III, born about 1761
Elizabeth Hartsock, born April 17, 1764
Samuel Hartsock, born about 1766
Jonathan, born about 1768
Sarah, born about 1770
Samuel, born about 1770-1774
