KG,
Oswald DeVoe Hartsook and William Steidley Hartsook were brothers.Their other two siblings were Irene H. Hartsook (died as an infant) and Elijah Hamilton Hartsook.
Their parents were William Harrison Hartsook
(son of Elijah B. Hartsook and Elizabeth Steidley) and Elizabeth Ann Devoe (daughter of Wm. Henry Devoe and Phebe Oglesbee).The mystery I am working on concerns the parentage of Elijah B. Hartsook.Some records say his father's name was Enoch.My family has always held that Elijah's father was a Hessian soldier by the name of William, who married Catherine Fogle/Foger.

Oswald Devoe Hartsook was born in Greene Co., Ohio, later moving to the Bondurant area of Polk Co., Iowa.He married Mary Margaret Chubbic on 9 Oct 1872 in Iowa.They spent a few years in Nebraska where a few of their children were born (including my grandmother, Amelia Catherine Hartsook), but most of their 14 children were born in Polk Co., IA.

Hartsook, son of William Steidley Hartsook, indeed was married and had at least one daughter, Margaret Hartsook Spease.Jay was born in Bondurant in 1894, and I believe he died in 1985.I have a copy of his genealogy of the Hartsook family which he prepared in 1970.
