Adolphus & fam from Va. to Ohio & Greene Co. Ill

By Carol Hutchins March 25, 2002 at 08:24:29

Does anyone know who these Hartless members belong to.I am thinking they could be the children of either Jane Clark that m. Henry Hartless June 25, 1798; or Mary Clark that m. John Hartless in 1804?These two Clark women were sister's to my Eleanor/Nelly (Clark) Painter.

marriage
Hartless,AdolphusLeach,Hannah E. Ross Co.OhioJan 11, 1849
NOTE:Adolphus & fam is sandwiched between 2 Painter brothers.His sis, Anarene is living in the same house with another Painter bro.These 3 brothers have 2 more brothers and many sisters!
ALL the Painter children are sons and daus of John & Eleanor “Nelly” (Clark) Painter, Sr.Adolphus has to be related in some way to the Clarks and Painters of Amherst/Rockbridge Co’s of Virginia.The Painters left Va. Abt 1826. Then traveled to Ohio, stayed there till about the early 1840’s, then moved to Greene Co. Illinois……These Hartless’s probably traveled with them or followed a little later?But they knew each other very well and seem to have a history together?

Cass county is not far from Greene Co. so this is a possible marriage?Did he stay or move on with Adolphus too?
Note: It appears that Anarene’s dau Nancy (Johnson) Manley is deceased too.

In Summary:I am of the belief that mostof the Hartless’smoved away fromGreene Co. Illinois. abt 1870
Any help with these family's would be appreciated!Thank You.Regards,Carol Hutchins
