David Loderick Hartman was the first in the line of Hartmans to come to North America and to move to Canada.

There is not a lot of information on David Hartman. It is known that he was born in Germany and lived in Tomparing, Albany County at some point. David was in New York City in 1763 and Schoharie in 1767. He lived in Schaghticoke in 1777, where his daughter Margaret was christened in the Schaghticoke Dutch Reformed Church.

He fought with the Loyalist Rangers during the Revolution and was present at the battle of Bennington where he was shot through the chest. Notwithstanding, he lived for many years and later migrated to Ernestown, Lennox County, Ontario by 1784.
