Name John Hartwell

Marriage to Mary _____
Burial[1] 25 Jul 1779 Adderbury, Oxfordshire, England

John Hartwell’s origins have yet to be established. His first confirmed sighting is in 1767, by which time he was married to a woman called Mary and living at Adderbury in Oxfordshire. One possibility is that they were the John Hartley and Mary Powell who had marriage banns read at nearby South Newington in 1766.

Between 1767 and 1779 John and Mary had seven children baptised at Adderbury. The family’s surname was recorded variously as Hartlet, Hartwell, Harthel and Harttel.

John died just four months after the baptism of his youngest daughter. He was buried at Adderbury on 25th July 1779. Mary appears to have outlived him by many years.
