The Hattery Family By Stella F. Strausbaugh 1961
Our earliest contact with the Hattery family is found in Cecil County, Maryland, a place called Earlville. In the records of St. Stephens Protestant Episcopal Church in Earlville are the following birth records.
In volume 1, page 37-James Hatrey, son of Henry Hatrey (4-1) and Christian his wife, born 16 December 1709.
In volume 1, Page 37 - Mary Hattery (5-2) daughter of Thomas Hattery (4-2) and Sarah, his wife, born 10 December 1714.
It is quite logical to assume that Henry Hatrey (4-1) and Thomas Hattery (4-2) were brothers. You will note the difference in spelling. It was copied as found but even in the same document will be found several spelling variations. In later generations it has become Hattery but pronounced as if spelled "Hatry"in Pennsylvania Archives 3rd Series, volume 24, page 435 under Warrentees of Land, Lancaster County 1733-1896 we find:
William Hatry 24 acres 15 March 1750
Henry Hatry 50 acres 15 March 1750
This Henry Hatry could be Henry (4-1) mentioned in St. Stephens records and William Hairy could be another brother or their could be no connection. Neither would be young. Land records in Maryland were searched but no further mention of either Henry (4-1) or Thomas (4-2) was found.
James (5-1) the son of Henry (4-1) is recorded as still in Cecil County when his will was filed. It can be found in Liber 30, Folio 336 in Annapolis HaIl of Records and reads as follows:
In the name of God Amen, this sixth day of May 1757, I, James Hatry (5-1) of Cecil County and Province of Maryland being very sick and weak in the body but of sound mind and memory, thanks be to God for the same, I do therefore make and ordain this my last will and Testament in manner and form following. First I give and recommend my soul to God that gave it me and my body to be decently buried at the discretion of my Executrix. As to my worldly goods I give and dispose as follows: Imprimis, I give and bequeath unto my daughter, Susannah (6-3) the sum of twenty shillings current money and no more. I likewise give and bequeath to my daughter Mary (6-4), the sum of twenty shilling current money and no more. I likewise give and bequeath to my daughter, Rebecca (6-5), the sum of twenty shillings current money and no more.

How many of the family, after the death of James Hattry, moved across the water into the state of Delaware is not known. Records of Joseph, Thomas and Susannah were found in New Castle County, Delaware and it seems reasonable to think that they probably moved as a family.
The Delaware Archives page 313 lists Thomas Hatrey as discharged from Capt. Enoch Anderson's Company in the Delaware Regiment on 10 February 1777. On page 553 Thomas Hatrey is in a list of soldiers recruited by Enoch Anderson, Captn. On page 998 we learn that Thomas Hattrey signed the Oath of Allegiance on 17 August 1778.
The New Castle County, Delaware Probate records show that Letters of Administration on the estate of Susannah Hattery (6-3) were granted to Eons Howell on 25 January 1815. The estate was settled 7 March 1816.
In the records of Immanuel Episcopal Church in New Castle, Delaware, recorded the marriage of Joseph Hattery (6-1) and Hester January 1764.
In the same records is recorded the birth of son, James (7-1), to Joseph and Hester (Dushane) Hattery on 14 November 1765.
In the will of Rachel (----) (Dushane) Cazier in New Castle County Will book L - 1 - 146 probated 23 March 1779 we read: (The will is undated) Being sick and weak in body but of sound and perfect mind and memory she disposes of her worldly estate as follows:
To son Andrew Dushane L 150
To daughter Hester Hattry L 100
To daughter Rachel McCantire L 150
To daughter Lydia Eliason L 50, and L 150 to be paid to her
children when they arrive of age to receive it and meanwhile the interest to go to their support.
To my daughter Susannah Cazier - - - - L 150
I give and bequeath the residue and remainder of my estate to Joseph Hattery's (6-1) children namely James (7-1), Andrew (7-2), Thomas (7-3), Lydia (7-4), and Rachel (7-5) to be equally divided among them and to be paid as they arrive of age to receive it and the interest to go yearly to their support.
Jacob Cazier sole executor.
Administration "memo" - Rachel Cazier, widow late of Pencader Hundred.
The 1790 Census of Bedford County, Pennsylvania shows Joseph Hatrey (6-1) with three males over sixteen, three males under sixteen and two females. It appears that either Hester has died or perhaps one daughter has married but we have little chance of learning her name.
The 1800 census of Somerset County, Penn. shows Joseph Hattery (6-1) with one male sixteen to twentysix and one male fortyfive and lip. Probably himself and son Thomas (7-3). Hester must be dead. Somerset was made from part of Bedford County in 1795 and it is quite likely that Joseph (6-1) was in the Somerset section in 1790.
The 1800 census of Somerset County also lists James Hattery (7-1) with three males to ten years, one male twentysix to fortyfive (we know James was born 1765 so he would be thirty-five years), one female twentysix to fortyfive (his wife Margaret).
And Andrew Hattery (7-2) with one male to ten years, one male twentysix to fortyfive, two females sixteen to twentysix and one female fortyfive and up (probably one female is a hired helper).
The 1810 census of Somerset County lists James Hattery (7-1) with one male to ten years, four males ten to sixteen, one male twentysix to fortyfive (he would be just fortyfive), two females to ten and one female twentysix to fortyfive.
The 1810 census lists Andrew Hattery (7-2) with four males to ten years, one male ten to sixteen, one male twentysix to fortyfive, one female to ten and one female twentysix to fortyfive.
The 1810 census lists Thomas Hattery (7-3) with one male twentysix to fortyfive and one female twentysix to fortyfive. It appears that Thomas got married and Joseph probably died as he is not listed.
In 1816 Andrew Hattery and his wife Rachel (Smith) Hattery sold a farm and probably moved to Brooke County, Virginia as our next record of them is there.
On 11 May 1818, James Hattery (7-1) and Margaret Hattery his wife then living in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, sold a farm in Somerset County to Joseph Hancock of the said Somerset County.
No Hatterys were found in the 1820 census of Somerset County, Penn.
James Hattery (7-1) married Margaret Hunter in 1793. They migrated to Tuscarawas County, Ohio, in 1814. They came in a covered wagon and settled on a farm near Sugar Creek, Ohio. They lived there until they died and were buried in a family plot on the farm. Their children were:
8-1 - Charles Hattery born 15 September 1794
8-2 - Andrew Hattery born 25 September 1796

8-8 -Mary Hattery born 17 July 1808
8-9 -James Hattery born 6 March 1811
8-10 -Ephraim Hattery born 13 January 1814
Andrew Hattery (7-2) married Rachel Smith probably in Somerset County. At least he lived there after he married and it is likely that he married a local girl. In a History of Northwest Ohio found by Millicent Skaggs in the Mesa, Arizona, Genealogical Library is the following data: lie lived in Brooke County, Virginia and the names of two sons, Josiah and Nathaniel. Later we turned up additional data on Andrew (7-2). Five males beside himself were listed in Andrew's family in the 1810 census of Somerset County, Penn. He probably moved to Brooke County after selling his farm. in Somerset in 1816. The children of Andrew and Rachel were:
8-11 - James Hattery
8-12 - Eaton Hattery
8-13 - John Hattery
8-14 - Joseph Hattery
8-15 - Andrew Hattery
8-16 - Thomas Hattery
8-17 - Edward Hattery
8-18 - Josiah Hattery born 1821 in Va. He died 27 Jan. 1880. (son of 8-2)
8-19 - Lydia Hattery (you will remember Andrew (7-2) had a sister Lydia)
8-20 - Rachel Hattery (and also a sister Rachel)
8-21 - Nathaniel Hattery Sr., born 1822 in Brooke County, Va. Nathaniel died
12 March 1882.
No trace of Thomas (7-3) Hattery the youngest son of Joseph (6-1) except the Somerset census of 1810, although we have a dozen unplaced descendants of some Hattery. One claims to be born in Virginia and descended from a Thomas Hattery.
Andrew Hattery (8-2) the second child of James (7-1) and Margaret (Hunter) Hattery was born 25 September 1796, while the family still lived in Somerset County, Penn. He was nearly eighteen years of age when the family moved to Tuscarawas County, Ohio. James (7-1) gave part of his land to Ephraim (8-10) hut kept the homestead which eventually became Andrew's (8-2). On 25 November 1832, Andrew married Mary Anti Knisely, born 21 February 1808 to John Knisely, Jr. and his wife Mary (Wolfe) Knisely. Mary Ann died 21 February 1845 and was buried in the family plot. Andrew died 31 March 1879. He was Justice of the Peace for many years. Andrew was a medium tall, slender man with red hair and wore a flowing beard. He was a highly respected man in the community.. Andrew and Mary Ann had the following children:
9-1 - Eunice Hattery born 2 March 1833 at 3 PM in the sign of the scorpion
9-2 - Esais Hattery born 23 February 1835 at 55 mm. AM in the sign of the goat
9-3 - Rufus Hattery born 11 November 1836 at half past: 5 o'clock AM

9-6 - Zairian Hattery born 24 March 1842 at half past 6 o'clock in the sign of the goat
9-7 - A son dead born 20 February 1845 at 11 AM
The above birth records were found in Andrew's handwriting, the last entry read "Mary Ann K. 1-lattery died February .1st A.D. 1845 at 5 o'clock aged thirty-seven years.
Both Andrew (8-2) and Mary Ann were buried in the family plot on the farm along with other relatives. In early 1949 before the farm went out of the family the remains of all buried there were removed to Union 1-lill Cemetery. Among them was Mary Jane Miserly, eldest child of Christian and Eunice (9-1) Miserly. She was a young woman of twentyone who had gone in 1878 to visit her grandfather and died while there. It is believed that John Knisely Jar, father of Mary Ann was buried there. The will of Andrew Hattery (8-2) is in Administration hook 6, page 29 in Tuscarawas County Courthouse at New Philadelphia. It was admitted to Probate 10 April 1879 and Letters of Administration given to Azariah Hattery with Esais, Rufus and Emeline as sureties; bond was set at $6000.00. The executors were dismissed 5 April 1884.
Joseph Hattery (8-3) the third child of James and Margaret (Hunter) Hattery was born 4 August 1798 in Somerset County, Penn. He died 1846. The name of his wife is not know. Their children were:
9-8 - Phoebe Hattery born 1.834.
9-9 - Ephrairm Hattery born 1836.
9-10.- Rachel Hattery born 1837.
9-11 - Andrew Hattery born
9-12 - Folly Hattery born
The data on Joseph Hattery (8-3) is pieced, together from estate and census records. In the Courthouse at New Philadelphia, Ohio in Will Book transcribed 1,2,3, page 288: Ephriam Hattery (8-10) was appointed Guardian in the estate of Joseph Hattery (Case #400 A dated October 1846) of Ephriam, Rachel, Andrew, Folly and Phoebe.
On page 205 in the 1850 census of York Twp., Tuscarawas County, Ohio, Phoebe is sixteen years old, born in Ohio and living with Jacob (32 years) and Barbara (32 years) Weldy (born in Ohio and Penn).
On page 417 of same book is Rachel Hattery aged thirteen, born in Ohio, living in Sugar Creek Twp., with Benjamin (28 years) and Martha (24 Years) Hochstetter, both born in Ohio.
On page 429 in the same book is Ephriam Hattery aged thirteen, birthplace unknown, living in Sugar Creek Twp., with Jacob (30 years) and Mary (26 years) Shonk, born in Ohio and Penn.
Thomas Hattery (8--7) is the seventh child of James (7-1) and Margaret (Hunter) Hattery. He was born 16 September 1806 in Somerset County, Penn. Thomas married Barbara - - - -; and died between 1847-50. Their children were:

9-20 - Abel Hattery - may have been born between 1842 and 1847, his record is very vague.
In the courthouse at: New Philadelphia, Ohio, we found on Appearance Docket No. 1, page 22, the case of Andrew Hattery (8-2) Guardian vs. Barbara Hattery now married to Henry Critzinger of said county. The text of the case said that
Thomas Hattery died intestate leaving surviving "Barbara Hattery now married to Henry Critzinger and the children Amos, Sophia, Elizabeth Allen, Alfred, Aaron, Ananias and Abel."
The 1850 census of Sugar Creek Twp., Tuscarawas County, Ohio, on page 422 lists Barbara as 30 years of age and born in Penn. and John Crit2inger as 25 years of age and born in Germany. All the children except Abel are listed in the household of Barbara.
