Levi Hartman, farmer and stockman of Hickory County, Mo., was born in East Tennessee 
on the 16th of September, 1816, and is a son of Joseph and Jennie (Walker) Hartman, 
and grandson of Joseph Hartman.  The latter and wife were residents of Maryland, and 
emigrated to Tennessee, where they spent the remainder of their lives, and were buried 
on their farm.  Joseph Hartman, the father of Levi, was born and reared in Tennessee, 
the former event occurring in 1765, and his death in 1830.  The maternal grandfather 
was born and spent his life in Tennessee.  He was of Scotch extraction, while the 
Hartmans were Dutch.  Levi Hartman grew to manhood in Washington County, Tenn., and in 
1846 went to Iowa, where he was married, October 27, to Miss Mary J. Rouse, who was 
born in Indiana, February 19, 1828, and the result of their union has been five children, 
all of whom are living and have reached mature years; John D.; Joseph, who is collector 
of Hickory County; Martha E., wife of Henry L. Pitts; Eliza J., wife of George Lindsey; 
and Maggie, wife of Edward Murray.  In 1867 Mr. Hartman came to Hickory County, Mo., of 
which he has been a resident ever since, and is the owner of 300 acres of excellent land.  
He is a Democrat politically.  His wife is a daughter of David and Eliza (Manson) Rouse, 
who were born in Kentucky, May 21, 1803, and April 7, 1808, respectively.  They were married 
in their native State, and afterward moved to Indiana, later to Iowa, and next became 
residents of Kansas, where the father died September 14, 1870.  They were the parents of 
eight girls and two boys.  The mother is still living.
