HARTWELL.
The Hartwells can be numbered among the very earliest comers to H., and through intermarriage with other leading fami- lies became very closely associated with its history.

He m., May 24, 1774, Su- sanna, dau. of Hugh and Mary (Laws) Foster of Acton, Mass., and settled in his native town near his father. In 1777 he bought of Jeremiah Green, of Boston, a creditor of Col. John Hill, a hundred-acre tract of land in the northeast part of this town, and made annual trips here on foot, staying a considerable time to clear a portion of the land and build a log house. He rem. hither with his family in the summer of 1780, accompanied by Thaddeus Monroe and Andrew Wilkins, who settled in the same locality. These, and other families coming later from Concord, Mass., gave the section the name of "Concord End," which is

still retained, though having lost its real significance. A well au- thenticated tradition states that upon one of his trips Mr. Hart- well cut a willow stick for a cane and upon his arrival stuck it into the ground, where it grew and flourished for a hundred years. At that time there was no mill nearer than Weare, and it was a common undertaking for him to perform the journey thither and return with a bushel of grain upon his shoulder. His wife d. Nov. 7, 1815 ; he d. Oct. 17, 1849, nearly a hundred years old.

At the age of 8 years he was sent to live with his cousin, Silas F., at Royalton, Vt., where he re- mained 4 years. Now 12 years old, he sought to earn his living by working out summers and to acquire an education by attend- ing school winters. As soon as he felt competent, he began to teach school, following this until he was 24, when he entered upon the study of the ministry of the M. E. Church, to become an itinerant preacher, residing in every county of the state and nearly every state in the Union. If his early advantages for an edu- cation were limited, his talent for public speaking and original way of thinking made him an effective and popular minister.
