Anyone have any suggestions what route my gggrandfather, Nicholas Hartzell
may have taken to come to Ste. Genevieve from Pittsburgh, Pa. The agreement
was drawn up June 7, 1814 and Nicholas left Pittsburgh June 23, 1814.

He was from Stoystown, Somerset Co., Lower Turkeyfoot, Pa. and entered into
an agreement with Peter Kimmel from Pittsburgh, Pa. to come to Ste.
Genevieve, Mo. and set up a Tanyard.

Peter Kimmel furnished Nicholas with money, goods, hides, tools and various
articles in the amount of $4,367.82

Somewhere along the line he met Mary Goza from Ga. and they had a son,
Silas, born 1820 in Ste. Genevieve. I have not been able to find a marriage
record for them. On all the estate papers, Mary is always around Isaiah Goza,
Hugh Goza, Michael Goza and Charles Goza also from Ga. I think she was their
sister, I just can't prove it. Mary Goza Hartzell remarried Samuel Staples and
they lived in Jefferson Co., along with Isaiah Goza's family

Thank you,

Sharon (Hartzell) Smith
