HARTWELL - sometimes spelled HEARTWELL. - The crest of the family arms shows the hart or deer drink- ing at a well, indicating that the more popular spelling of the name may be correct.
William,1 the founder of the family in New England, came to this country about 1636, and, as appears, directly to Concord. It is uncertain whether he was one of the little company of pioneers who followed Rev. Peter Bulk- ley through the wilderness to Musketaquid (Concord), in

ment of land, on which to erect a dwelling. It was located about one mile eastward from the public square of Con- cord. Mr. Hartwell is supposed to have been twenty-three years old when he came to this country, and was made a freeman of the colony in 1642. He appears in 1653 as a petitioner for the town of Chelmsford, and was an impor- tant and useful man in every respect. He was without doubt accompanied by a young wife in his pioneer work, and their children were probably all born in Concord.
There is a difference of opinion in writers of the Hart- well family as to the name of the wife of William,1 and it has been recorded that the wife of his youth died, and that he had a second wife ; but we think the best evidence leads to the conclusion that he had but one, and that her name was Jazan. The uncommon name being incorrectly spelled and poorly written was taken for Jessie, and later for Susan, which may reasonably explain the confusion. William1 pro- vides for his wife Jazan in his will probated in 1690. He died March 12 of that year. She died Ang. 5, 1695. The place of their burial is uncertain, but probab'y on the Old Burial Hill.
There is some difference in opinion as to the number of children born to William.1 Hle remembers by his will daughters Sarah and Mary and sons John and Samuel All agree that there was a Martha, who must have died before her father; and some authorities assign to his fam- ily William, Jonathan, and Nathaniel, but of such we find no convincing record.
The almost universal custom of perpetuating the Chris- tian name of the father through the first son, and of the mother through the first daughter, inclines us to the belief that there was a William who died young. We find no proof of the mother's name having been given to any mem- ber of the family.
It is uncertain huw early the founder of the Hartwell family located in the territory that became Bedford, if he did at all. In 1666, when the selectmen of Concord under- took to adjust the question of land titles, Mr. ITartwell appears as the owner of two hundred and forty-one or two hundred and forty-seven acres, in nineteen separately described lots. He was one of the overseers of the " East Quarter " about 1650. It is certain that his land extended from the first highway, "Virginia Koad," northward; and that a "trodden path," later a public way, led to the Hartwell residences, and that his sons located at what is now known as McGovern's and Hosmer's.

John Hartwell2 was in King Philip's War, Capt. Thomas Wheeler's company, and marched to the defence of Qua- boag (Brookfield). The birth of John2 is the first event of reliable date in the history of the family in America. He died intestate. An agreement between his children was made Mar. 12, 1704-5, signed with mark by Ebenezer, John, Elizabeth, William (by attorney), Joseph, Ebenezer Lamson (husband of Sarah), Edward and Jonathan (by their guardian).

William Hartwell,3 son of . Samuel,? was second layman in the foundation members of the church, 1730, and gave £ 5 towards starting the town.
William,+ son of William,3 was active in town at the same time. They died within four years of each other. It is difficult to separate their acts. When the vote was taken as to whether candidates for church membership should give in a "confession of their faith to be read in public," the name appears among the affirmative voters and also among the negatives. William Hartwell was chairman of the committee to call the first minister, q.v.

Six of the sons of William Hartwelle attained the aggre- gate age of 475 years, and the average of 79 1-6 years. Isaac6 and Benjamin6 died within eight days of each other,
* Densmore's valuable hand-book of Hartwell Genealogy assigns this Joseph to William,4 and thus gains a generation ; but the records and tombstone prove that he was born in 1722-3, and we think must have been a son of William. 3

Amos Hartwell, at the age of twenty years, through the death of his father, was left, with his step-mother, in charge of the farm and several young children. He married, 1822, Louisa Hodgman, a woman of great energy and executive ability, and for a while manufactured shoes. They invested their limited means in the Stephen Davis farm, where they reared a large family and accumulated a most respectable fortune. Their six children were given the benefit of aca- demic training in addition to the educational advantages of the town, which by private subscription Mr. Ilartwell aided in improving. The three daughters were successful teachers. The closing years of Mr. and Mrs. Hartwell were spent at the John Merriam residence in the village. Mr. Hartwell was a justice of the peace for fourteen years, set- tled many estates, conducted the affairs of minors, and was prominent in town office. He was representative to the General Court four years. He was deacon of the Church of Christ from IS26 till death, in 1870; was superintendent of the Sabbath school eighteen years, and enjoyed the con- fidence of the townspeople till death. A window to his memory was placed, by his children, in ISS6, in the meet- ing-house which he aided in building, and where he was a consistent worshipper of God, whom he loved and taught his family to worship.

later lived with his second wife, Mary F. Fitch, at her paternal homestead in the centre. Hle had been a mem- ber of the church sixty-seven years, and a useful and honored citizen. Lucy W. (llartwell) Pond lived at her homestead at South Bedford. She was killed by being thrown from a carriage Oct. 2, 1860. Mary A.
