Note: This surname is also rendered HARMAN. Martin Hartman apparently went with the Allegheny Conference in 1839. He is listed in the 1839 Allegheny Conference minutes as having withdrawn – but since he withdrew at the organizing conference, he is not listed as a charter member of the conference. Consequently his withdrawal has escaped formal recognition in the United Brethren denomination – because how can you withdraw from a conference you never joined!
