Before Anna Margaretha Koontz, there was probably Anna Maria Margarita Schmidlen. I do believe that she existed and that she was the first wife of Peter, but have no other proof than the facts given by Barnett McConnell in his book,"Hartsock Heritage; A Three Hundred Year Chronicle of the Hartsock Family of Southwest Virginia".
I have often wondered about others with the Herzog, Hertzog, Hartsock, Hartsook, Hartsough name in Maryland and Virginia. Conrad Hartsock is one of the individuals that lived in Frederick County or later Washington County, Maryland, with children having been born there. Is it possible he is a son of Peter by his first wife, Miss Schmidtlen? There is also a Frederic Herzog that lived in nearby Allgheny County, Maryland. Is he somehow related to Peter and Anna Schmidtlen?
Peter probably had brothers, Handrick, Zachariah, and Heronymus. Could these have been their offspring?
I have read somewhere, and will try to find the information, that it was often easier to take a boat from Philadelphia to Alexandria, than it was to travel across country. There was supposedly an Indian path that went from York, Pennsylvania, to Fredericktown, Maryland and continued south into Virginia that was later called the Monocacy Trail. Frederick also had an east-west trail that went through the area that later became part of the National Road (U.S. 40),I think. I am doing this from memory and it may not be the best.
There was also a Johannes Nicholas Herzog that is the ancestor of another group of Hartsocks, that had emigrated to Lancaster County in the 1700s. Also Philip Herzog first lived in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, in the 1700s before heading south to the Carolinas and Virginia. And finally, I initially thought the father of Peter was Jacob Andreas Herzog who arrived in the colonies in 1709 fresh from the Bas Rhin (so called Palatinate) on the same boat as another Herzog by the name of Caspar. On that same boat was one Nicol Kuntze and Jacob Cramer. Jacob Cramer is my ancestor through my 2nd great grandmother, and that family settled in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland. Later they migrated to southwestern Ohio at about the same time (around 1820) as my 2nd great grandparents, Geroge and Elizabeth (Cramer) Hartsock.
I, too would appreciate more discussion concerning the information that is available to us and also help in answering many of the questions that we still have.
Thanks for getting me going.
