I am researching this family and would be interested in sharing / discussing.

My primary interest is the Leadabrand family (various spellings). It appears that the older Hartman came to the U.S. as a Hessian soldier (hired by England) to fight in the Revolutionary war. He seems to be a cousin of my ancestor, Henry Leadabrand. I have obtained several generations of German ancestry, including Hartman.

I see your post is old, but hope you can respond to me.
