household of her parents in 1860.(5)
Elizabeth (Nicholas) Hartman died November 23, 1866, about four years after she
married William Hartman.(6) It appears that the parents of Elizabeth (Nicholas)
Hartman, William Nicholas and his wife Mahala Shute, raised Mary Luella Hartman
after Elizabeth died. William Hartman, the father of Mary Luella Hartman, did not die
until May 31, 1896, when he was 70 years old.(7)

west of Covington, Indiana.(19)

These farms were distributed to his children upon his death. The property was
distributed such that each child received relatively more land if there was no house on
the property.(20) Robert William Gouty was executor of the Joseph P Gouty estate.(21)
