James Hartman was a shoemaker/farmer in Fairfield Township, Columbiana Co., OH. Living with him in the 1850 census was Jerome Agler, his wife Mary's father, age 90 b. NJ and Silas Fague age 23 a shoemaker born in OH. Later, by 1872, James and Mary were living in Beaver, Darlington Borough, Beaver Co., PA just across the PA border. The 1870 Darlington, PA census has James and Mary living there at the age of 71.
We are lucky to have Jerome Agler living with them during the census as it definitively ties our Hartmans to the Aglers. It appears at times the Agler name was spelled Egler and was once even Eichler. Hieronimous Eichler came over from Hamburg in what would be Germany in 1753 (see Agler Family). He settled in Hunterdon Co, NJ, the same state in which Jerome was born. There is evidence later presented that shows Hieronimous helped found the United Protestant Evangelical Zion and St. Paul's churches and congregations in the counties of Hunterdon, Morris and Somerset, New Jersey at New Germantown. In some Agler information it is said that Jerome was a Methodist which would be more of an English church vs. a German Lutheran church. This may be because Jerome wanted to marry, and purportedly did, Rebecca Pursley, who would have been English or Scots-Irish.
Jerome has been said to have moved from NJ to Lycoming Co, PA, where we have evidence of a blacksmith named Jerome Egler. It is thought that Mary "Polly" (Agler) Hartman was born there and so may have her husband James. At least one census was incorrectly transcribed from the abbreviation for James Jas as Jos short for Joseph. DNA matching through the ancestry website pegs James as son of Adam who is son of Johan. James wrote a letter to his MN-dwelling son Philip in 1872 in English, which would suggest early schooling in the same language, and not German.
I have searched for information that could lead to possible parents of James but there is nothing concrete. I would guess James named his first born son Philip after his own father. With that in mind I have searched for Philip Hartmans or variations but still nothing substantiated.

info as to why James and others are buried here:
Hartman, Jane, d 17 Jan 1896 ae 67y. Volume 3, page 217 EAST FAIRFIELD CEMETERY, FAIRFIELD TOWNSHIP-----this appears to be a record of where our Jane Hartman is buried.
Following is information appears to pertain to at least some of our Hartmans: Volume 12, c1984 pg. 1020:From the VALLEY ECHO, 29 July 1880, p4 Sketch of O.S. Presbyterian Church and cemetery building constructed about 1842 and remodeled in 1875. The names of some who where here while our place was under the title of "Mechanicsburg" in 1828, do not appear among the tombstones, although they may be unmarked: Thos. McCalla, Wm. Grate, Robt. Chamberlain, Edward Allender, Wm. Paxson, Andrew Craig, George Fought, R. Barr, J. Hall, JAMES HARTMAN, Obadiah Allison, Ramsey, Patterson, etc. Since this was put in type, we learned: Wm. Paxson died in Missouri; Dr. Chamberlain is interred here without a stone, waiting for the new cemetery, where his remains will be removed; Andrew Craig and other members of the family are buried here in unmarked graves; R.S. Hamilton was the first burial; a Mr. McClure, who froze to death on State Line Hill, grave is unmarked, was the second; McCalla, Ramsey & Patterson are NOT buried here.
