Early Origins of the Hartie family

The surname Hartie was first found in Kent where the first record of the name was Benedict de Herty who was listed in the Feet of Fines in Kent in 1241. Manuesimus de Herty was listed in the Rotuli Hundredorum of 1272. The Isle of Harty dates back to Roman times and is today called the Isle of Sheppy. No longer an island but marshlands, Harty is a small hamlet on this island consisting of a few cottages, a church and a public house named The Ferry Inn. The church has no electricity or running water but dates back to the 11th century.

Scribes and monks in the Middle Ages spelled names they sounded, so it is common to find several variations that refer to a single person.

Migration of the Hartie family

Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Hartie or a variant listed above: the name represented in many forms and recorded from the mid 17th century in the great migration from Europe. Migrants settled in the eastern seaboard from Newfoundland, to Maine, to Virginia, the Carolinas, and to the islands..
