Washington Nathaniel Hartsell b. ca. 1823 Montgomery County NC, d. ca. 1855 as per estate settlement in Stanly County NC. He is the son of Solomon and Sarah Smith Hartsell. The estate settlement of Solomon Hartsell shows that Washington Nathaniel Hartseel had heirs. Washington appeared in the 1846 tax list, but does not appear in the 1850 Stanly County Census. As quoted from Eunice Lee Hartsell Sechler's book, the following research provides more information.
Pearson Gamaliel Hartsell's sketch of the early Hartsell family stated that Washington was married to Zina O'Neal and had two daughters. There is a Zina Hartsell buried in the Hartsell graveyard, ca. 20 years of age. There is a marker with WxH in the Hartsell craveyard, and the "x" may have been misinterpreted, with dates eroded away. Further mention of him and any heirs may be found on an estate settlement, ca. 1855. nfd
Zina must have died prior to 1855. Dated 12 Feb 1855, Solomon Harsell was appointed guardian of Mary Elvina and Sarah Ann Harsell, daughters of "Washington Hartsell". Solomon was Washington's father. Dated 25 Oct 1872, a list of distributees for the estate of Solomon Hartsell, deceased, reads as follows:
Johnathan Hatsells heirs, Emeline Smith, Washington Hartsells heirs, Elvina Harsell, Sarah Furr, Mary Taylor, Elizabeth Garman, Beedy Whitley, Sophey Hartsell, J. E. Hartsell, J. M. Harsell, & M. J. Hartsell.
A petition dated 6 Sept 1873 provides the following: James E. Harsell, Jacob M. Harsell, Sophia Hartsell, J. H. Powers and wife Elvinia, Nelson Smith and wife Emaline, Moses H. Furr and wife Sarah C., W. H. Taylor and wife Mary, Henry Garman and wife Elizabeth, Davidson Whitley and wife Beedy, Martin Furr and wife Martha J.
