He was the son of German parents who were massacred by the Indians in 1770 when Adam was about eight months old. While in the service, he was sent to Fort Pitt, to Marietta, and to Fort Washington, (Cincinnati) and to the Falls of the Ohio (Louisville) where he was discharged. He re-enlisted under Gen. St. Clair, and discharged after The Battle of Fallen Timbers. He married 1) Fanny Bredwell, 2) Rebecca Hartman (1781-1864) in 1805; Children: John Hartman b. 1800, Robert M. b. 1813, William, Thomas, Isaac, and 3 daughters, names unknown.

He was a farmer and a noted hunter. His name is certified as a Revolutionary War Soldier in Clermont County, Ohio, August 9, 1832, Book G, page 515 and Book H; page 61.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
