The records of St. Martin' s Lutheran Church near Troutman, North Carolina lists in its roll and Communion records, various entries of both John and several of his children and in-laws.

The records after 1860 do not indicate the presence of John's second wife Catherine, but do list John, George, Amanda, wife of Solomon, Solomon and Paul's wife Nancy. After the death of George, Solomon, and John, Nancy continued to attend St. Martin's until her death in 1897.

John Hartline was born March 14, 1798, in Rowan County, North Carolina, the son of George and Maria Earnhardt Hartline, and was baptized December 24, 1798 at Organ Lutheran Church, with his uncle Peter Hartline as sponsor. He spent his early life at home assisting in the tilling of the soil on his father's farm. He was the first of his family to come to Illinois and was followed by his parents who settled on a farm in Union County, three and one-half miles northwest of what is now Anna, IL.. On April 15, 1819, John bought 160 acres of land adjoining the southern corporation line of what is now Anna, from John Thornton for a hundred and twenty- five dollars. He sold this land to John Cauble and in 1828, he bought 211 acres about three and one-half miles northwest of Anna.

On June 19, 1831, John was married, in Union County, to Margaret Rendleman, daughter of Jacob, Sr. and Elizabeth Fullenwider Rendleman. Elizabeth was born March 13, 1814, in Rowan County, North Carolina. They had the following Children:

Elizabeth, born about 1833.  D

Mary Jane, born about 1834, married William Martin June 10, 1856. She died in 1881 in Arkansas. In the 1860 Census, this couple had two children, a two year old, and a one year old named Joseph.

Benjamin Franklin, born December 6, 1835.  D

Melvina, born October 28, 1837, married Joseph Martin, (brother to William Martin, above,) July 15, 1859, and lived in Arkansas.

Serena, born January 12, 1840.  D

Emily (Emma), born January 4, 1841, Married Robert Donovan, April 25, 1860 and lived in Carbondale, Illinois.

Eliza, born December 11, 1842.  D

Isaac, born March 21, 1846.  D

John, born December 31, 1847.  D

In 1832, John Hartline sold his land northwest of Anna, and acquired 160 acres of the southeast quarter of Section 1, Township 12, South, Range 2 West 9 at the partition sale of the estate of his father-in-law, Jacob Rendleman, Sr. This land was originally obtained by Jacob in 1819. John owned other land too and at the time of his death on November 26, 1847, he was paying taxes on 550 acres.

The children of John and Margaret were born in Jonesboro Precinct, Union County. They attended Casper Lutheran Church, originally known as Union Church, one and a half miles north of Anna. The first building was a log structure built in 1847. John contributed ten dollars toward the cost of the new building. He died without making a will and the administration of his estate was granted to his brother-in-law, Jacob Rendleman, Jr. It is interesting that Samuel Rendleman, another of Margaret's brothers, who was appointed guardian of some of John's minor children had himself, some seventeen years earlier, been placed under the guardianship of John.

In the settlement of John's estate, Margaret received $231.83 and 170 acres as her dowery. At the partition sale held July 4, 1855, she purchased an additional 60 adjoining acres.

Avis Hartline Burkhaulter, 125 Claremont Blvd., San Francisco, California has the original of an order from Margaret dated January 11, 1856 to J. W. McClure for one set of marble gravestones, the headstone to be about four feet tall and inscribed: "John Hartline died November 26, 1847, aged 48 years 9 months 15 days" for which she agreed to pay $21.00 upon delivery.

After the death of her husband, Margaret continued to farm with her children. She later lived with her son John and her son Benjamin Franklin. She died May 12, 1891 age 77. She is buried beside John at Casper Cemetery.

Isaac Hartline was baptized November 9, 1800, (1) the son of George and Maria Ann Earnhardt Hartline, with Peter Lenz as sponsor. When he was eighteen, he came with his parents to Union County, Illinois in 1818. He was a very successfu1 farmer, and when his father died in 1823, Isaac received half of the "plantation" north of Anna, Illinois. George left the other half to his wife Maria with a stipulation that should she remarry, her half would also go to Isaac.

The will further provided maintenance of Isaac 's sister, 27 year old Elizabeth still unmarried, during her life. Isaac never married, and was in effect a father to his younger brothers and sister Elizabeth, 55, his nephew Elijah, 21,

In the 1850 census of Union County, the following persons were living with Isaac: His sister Elizabeth, 55, Joseph Kisler, 61, William and Mahalia Popin, 23 and 18 respectively, Mary Parish, 41, and Richard Parish 21.

Isaac bought and sold land in various parts of the county and left an estate of over $35,000. He died at home, November 29, 1867, age 67. William Rich was named administrator of his estate, which was divided, among his two surviving brothers, Caleb and Charles, his sister, Mary (Polly) Hess, and the forty-nine children and grandchildren of his deceased brothers and sisters. Isaac is buried at Casper cemetery on the lot with his father and mother and sister Elizabeth, with the inscription: "In memory of Isaac, gone but not forgotten."
