I have been working on the Artley family history for over 30 years. Samuel H. Artley was my great grandfather. He was bon Dec 13, 1803 in Penn Township, Northumberland county, PA. and died May 12, 1866 in Muncy township, Lycoming county, PA. He is buried in same cemetery as are his parents, Immanuel Lutheran church Cemetery, between Hughesville and Muncy, PA. He was son of John Henry Artley, IV and Catherine Frey. All of the previous went by the middle name of Henry as was the custom of most German people. JH, I, was born in Germany about 1675 and in Germany went by the name of Erdle. When JH, II came to America with wife Regina ? and 4 children on the British ship Billander and docked on January 8, 1738 in Philadelphia he was listed as Henry Oertley. The name was changed to Artley before the end of the 1700's.

Please let me know if you need any additional information. I have a complete list from 1675, except for some surnames of the wives.

Thanks for the info on Hannah, I did not know her parent's names. I have always had the name spelled Armor from Samuel's handwritten note in his family Bible. Although one note from my files, reports that she was from the Chicago area and part of the Armour meat packing firm. I have never been able to confirm this. According to the archived copy of the Williamsport (PA) Gazette and Bulletin they were married by J. Graffius, Esq. in Lycoming Co. The brief article said they were both residents of Muncy Township All of my records show her as being born July 25, 1811 in Muncy Township, Lycoming Co and died August 23, 1870 in Muncy Township. She is buried along side of her husband, Samuel.

I lived in Lycoming county, PA. for 67 years prior to moving to Florida.
