Mr. Johnson: I'm not sure what you want to know about Thomas Hartwell. Others have provided you info about some of his ancestors, and that (especially by JoAnn Hill) fits closely with my records. I have a family record sheet on the family of Thomas and Bertie (Mallory) Hartwell that I would be willing to share with you, as well as similar sheets on the families of his (and her) ancestors.
You don't say if you ever saw Thomas or not. I knew him from about 1958 (when I married his granddaughter Marlene Hartwell) until his death in 1972. He was quite tall, I would guess 6'6" before he became stooped with age. He had very large hands and feet. He had a twinkle in his eyes when he smiled that was quite noticeable. He loved fox hunting and raising foxhounds. There's an area in Spring Hill near Rock Lake pool that is now a subdivision, and he told me he had farmed it all (as a sharecropper). In his old age, he loved to watch certain programs on TV, especially boxing matches, "wrassling" and roller derby. He is buried in the Fox cemetery not far from Spring Hill. His wife "Bertie" was killed when the car in which she was a passenger was struck by a train on the chestnut street crossing. Physically she was just the opposite of Thomas (very small) but there was never much doubt who was "the boss". She was quite young when they were married. Her father John Mallory was also killed in a railroad accident, but don't know the details. Hope you find this of interest. Don't hesitate to email me if any of this is of interest and you'd like to discuss more. Bud Carder
