Adam and Gertrude Hartmann family came from from the Heiserdamm area of Germany on the ship "Stormaway" arriving in New York 08 Jul 1854. The family consisted of Adam & Gertrude both 50 years with children Michel-29, Therese-27 Catherine-24, Peter-21, Valentin-19, Anton-17, Anna-Marie-13, and Phillip-7. An older son Joseph married with at least one child stayed in Germany.

You might be correct about Adam (68) and Gertrude (52)

Some of my info is from the Catholic Church records in the New Market - Shakopee area and newspaper articles as well as Census records from Scott & Hennepin Counties.

Saturday, April 24, Mrs Valentine Hartmann Sr, nee Rosalie Dellinger, passed
to the great beyond at the ripe old age of nearly 80 years. Deceased was
born in the beautiful German province of Alsace Lorraine, August 30, 1835,
and, her father being a teacher, received a good common school education. At
the age of 18, she and her two sisters who preceeded her to the grave, left
the Fatherland and came to St Louis. After a short sojourn in that city, the
late Mrs Hartmann came to Benedict where her oldest sister, the late Mrs
Claus, received her into her home. It was here that her surviving husband
made her acquaintance and induced her to share life's joys and sorrows with
him. Thee were married about 57 years ago in Shakopee and established their
home on the old Hartmann homestead about 1 1/2 mile east of Benedict
Here in the wilderness, they raised a family of eight children, all now
living, and by dint of hard labor and economy, became comparatively well to
do. In later years they bought another farm on the banks of the Raven
Stream, within a few rods of Benedict church, where they toiled until their
son Valentine bought the farm They now make their home with him and enjoyed
the fruits of their life's work. About seven years ago, they celebrated
their golden wedding anniversary.

The deceased is survived by her husband and eight children, sixty
grandchildren and twenty five great grandchildren. Their children are
Rosalie, now Mrs John Seibert, Anton and Valentine of Benedict, Louisa, now
Mrs Gregor Wermershirchen of St James, Mary, now Mrs Melchoir Wermershirchen
and Philip and Joseph of Pierz and Theresia , now Mrs Bruner of Canada.

A large concourse of relatives and friends gathered Tuesday, April 27, to
pay their last respects to the deceased by escorting her remains to the last
resting place. In the Benedict cemetery in the shadow of the church which
she loved and attended for over fifty years, she was laid to rest after the
pastor, Rev Hildebrand OFM, had sung a requiem mass for her repose, with the
confident hope that her soul has found that peace and rest for which she had
yearned the last few years of her life.
