Searched for: The 1885 New Jersey state census row from [D.847]'s Suggested-records panel — Ancestry coll. 61556 record 288104, indexed "Sharpes Harting".
Result: INDEX ONLY — the plate was NOT downloaded and nothing here is a reading. The session was closing; recorded as a lead so it is not lost, and carried to todo:. "Sharpes Harting", 20, b. abt 1865, Knowlton, Warren Co., page 45, film 44 — in a household of five: James Brands 66, Catherine A Brands 62, Sharpes Harting 20, Elizabeth Bloomfield 80, Laura Heldebrant 19. ⇒ At 20 he is not in his parents' house but living with an elderly couple — a hired hand or boarder, though the index states no relationship. WHY IT MATTERS: KNOWLTON. [F.372] gives his birthplace as Delaware, Warren Co., which is a village in Knowlton Township, against [G.631]'s Hope. Finding him living in Knowlton at twenty is corroborative weight for the Delaware reading — but no more than that, since living somewhere at twenty is not being born there. The birth note above stays as it is. The age fits: 20 in June 1885 against a birth of 21 October 1864. The same panel offers records for a Sharps C. Hartung / C. Sharps Hartung in the 1930 and 1940 censuses, city directories and the SSA index. Those are almost certainly NOT this man — he had no children ([D.847]: 0 born, 0 living) and died in Pennsylvania — so they are left alone rather than chased.

Searched for: SIGNED IN. The Pennsylvania, U.S., Newspapers.com Stories and Events Index row from [D.847]'s panel (Ancestry coll. 50069 record 5997738569) — "Sharpes Hartung", The Morning Call, Allentown, 26 June 1916 — opened on Newspapers.com (image 274697536) and the article read.
Result: NOT HIM — EXCLUDED, and recorded so it is not re-opened. The article is "PHILLIPSBURG ODD FELLOWS CONFER THIRD DEGREE HERE", an account of Phillipsburg Lodge No. 124 visiting Constantine Lodge No. 113 at Allentown. The relevant sentence: "Sharpes Hartung, of Phillipsburg, responded with a vocal selection." Two reasons it is another man. (1) Phillipsburg, not Hope — and this man was of Hope in 1910 [D.847], 1915 [E.34] and 1920 [D.846], with no record placing him at Phillipsburg. (2) The record's own suggested-records panel clusters around a DIFFERENT PERSON — "Sharps C. Hartung", "C Sharps Hartung", "C S Hartung", "C S Harting" — with NJ state censuses of 1895 and 1905, a NJ births index and NJ marriage records, none of which fits a man who married once, in 1907, and had no children. ⇒ There is a second Sharps Hartung in Warren County, of Phillipsburg, and the indexes conflate the two. Recorded here as a disambiguation, which is the main value of having opened it. The index row is AI-generated ("may contain errors"), as the collection page states.

Searched for: THE COMPLETE WARREN COUNTY HARTUNG LIST IN THE 1905 STATE CENSUS, run to settle the Phillipsburg question rather than leave it as a suspicion. coll. 61557 ?name=_Hartung&count=50&residence=_warren-new+jersey-usa_3036&residence_x=1-0-0_1-0 — 45 rows, ONE PAGE, ALL READ.
Result: HIS 1905 RESIDENCE, AND THE DECOY, IN ONE LIST. Peter S Hartung, b. Oct 1864, Hope Township — and alone: no wife is listed with him, which fits exactly, since he married Elizabeth W. (Cooper) Hartung in 1907 and is coded M1 in 1910 [D.847]. Also at Hope: Rush S Hartung (Nov 1866) and Sadie S Hartung (Jan 1865). And at PHILLIPSBURG: C Sharps Hartung, b. MAY 1867, with Eva Knight Hartung (Aug 1869, Pennsylvania), Harry C Hartung (Jan 1894) and Elizabeth Z Hartung (Nov 1895). ⇒ The two "Sharps Hartung" men sit on one page in different townships, born two and a half years apart. The 1916 Allentown item excluded above belongs to the Phillipsburg man. [name.712] created for him. Note also that his daughter Elizabeth Z Hartung is a second Elizabeth Hartung in Warren County, against Elizabeth W. (Cooper) Hartung's Elizabeth W — same name, same county, sixteen years apart.
