Catharine HARTLEY [b.1965]
Together with Fiona THORNEWILL, Catharine and Fiona became the first British
women to walk the 680 mile journey across Antarctica to the South Pole between
November 1999 and early January 2000. Later, between March and May 2001, Catharine
and Fiona walked to the North Pole, hence they were the first women to reach
both poles on foot. The trek went from tiny Ward Hunt Island in the Canadian
Arctic to the North Pole, a distance of about 480 miles as the crow flies

away she lived in the outback of Australia, jumped out of planes in New Zealand
and spent time with the indigenous people of the Solomon Islands and Borneo.
Her thirst for adventure increased and while cycling around Jordan she became
intrigued by the polar regions. Three years later, after much research, Catharine
was introduced to Adventure Network, who invited her to join their expedition
to the South Pole.

Doctor David HARTLEY MD FRS [1705-1757]
the English physician, psychologist and philosopher was born 30th August 1705
at Armley [Leeds], West Yorkshire, to Rev.David HARTLEY, vicar of Armley. David
was educated at Bradford Grammar School and Jesus College, Cambridge, at first
for the Church, then changed direction [he most strongly objected to the theory
of eternal punishment] and became a successful medical practitioner. His chief
work ,"Observations of Man, His Death, and His Expectations" [1749],
relates psychology closely to physiology and develops a theory of the association
of sensations with sets of ideas which forms part of an associationalist tradition
running from HUME through to MILL and SPENCER. His links with COLERIDGE can
be seen in his poetry and in his decision to name his eldest son HARTLEY COLERIDGE David
HARTLEY lived at Newark, Bury St Edmunds, London, and finally died on 28th August
1757 at Bath, Somerset. David HARTLEY had two sons - by his first
wife, David HARTLEY MP [below] and by his second wife [Elizabeth PACKER], Winchcombe
Howard HARTLEY. Also a daughter, Mary, well accomplished in literature
and the fine arts.
Winchcombe H HARTLEY was Colonel of the Royal Gloucestershire Militia, and MP
for the County of Berkshire in the Parliaments of 1774-80-90. He died in 1794,
leaving an only son, the Rev. Winchcombe Henry Howard HARTLEY, Vicar of Bucklebury.
Rev. Hartley died in 1832, leaving a son,
Winchcombe Henry Howard HARTLEY, Colonel of the Gloucestershire Militia, and
High Sheriff of Berkshire in 1838, also a daughter, Elizabeth Ann, who married
the Count de PALATIANO, a Greek noble, who fought in the American War of Independence.
W. H. H. HARTLEY came into possession of the manor in 1833. After he died in
1881 .the estates in Berkshire and Gloucestershire descended to his co-heiresses
- the Countess de PALATIANO, Mrs. WEBLEY-PARRY, Mrs. Acreman WHITE, and Mrs.
Charles RUSSELL, but a partition of the estates was carried out in 1906. [Since
that time the families of each of these ladies have been lords of the manor
in turn. The title now being held by Mr. Willie Hartley RUSSELL whose father
restored the remains of the old mansion to form the present Bucklebury House
in the late 1950s.]
David HARTLEY MP [1731-1813]
son of the philosopher David HARTLEY [above], he was born at Bath, Somerset
in 1731. David studied medicine at the University of Leyden. During the 1760's
he gained recognition as a scientist and, through mutual interests, became an
intimate friend of Benjamin FRANKLIN. He entered Parliament as MP for Hull,
East Yorkshire in 1774 and sat until 1780 and again from 1782 to 1784. David
was sympathetic to the Rockingham Whigs, although he did not hold office in
either Rockingham ministry. He was expert in public finance and spoke frequently
in opposition to the war in America. In 1778 he wrote a pamphlet "Letters
on the American War" which accused Great Britain of tyranny over the colonies,
urged recognition of American independence, and proposed 'mutual naturalization'
between the two countries. Although a liberal on American policy, David was
a long-time friend of NORTH and strongly disliked SHELBURNE. He supported the
Coalition by voting against Shelburne's peace preliminaries.
David was sent to Paris in April, 1783, to negotiate the definitive "Treaty
of Paris" with the United States and to make a trade agreement. The Treaty
was signed on 3rd September 1783. Featured in the picture [with David HARTLEY
not yet painted in on the right] are John ADAMS, Benjamin FRANKLIN, John JAY,
Henry LAURENS and William Temple FRANKLIN [the latter two were omitted from
commemorative stamps] A 20 cents US postage stamp in 1996, commemorated the 200th anniversary
of the "Treaty of Paris" [1783], which marked the formal end of the
US independence from Great Britain.
After 1784 David HARTLEY retired from public life. He died at Bath, Somerset
on 19th December 1813. On Putney Heath is an obelisk erected by the Corporation
of London, in 1776, commemorating David HARTLEY's experiments. Belvedere, where
the Hartleys lived, is described as a "most beautiful spot, upon a high hill,
at one of the extremities of the town of Bath, commanding an enchanting view
of the Avon and all the surrounding country".

Henry HARTLEY [1815-1876] Hunter/Trader/Explorer
- South Africa/Rhodesia.
Credit for opening up Rhodesia belongs not only to
the missionaries but also to the early hunters and prospectors. One of the most
famous of the hunters was Henry HARTLEY who as a child came out to South Africa
with the 1820 Settlers. Henry was born in abt.September 1815 to Thomas and Sarah
[nee FIELD] at Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. He was baptised on 3rd September
1815 at the Wesleyan Methodist, Mansfield.
[pic showing Thomas Baines, seated, sketching Henry Hartley]
In 1841 Hartley moved to the Transvaal and went hunting in Matabeleland in 1859.
Thereafter he paid visits nearly every season to present-day Rhodesia. Henry
became a good friend of King Mzilikazi of The Ndebele. During 1865, while hunting
in Mashonaland, Hartley accidentally discovered gold. Soon afterwards, Hartley,
Adam Renders and the geologist Carl Mauch, while exploring north of Great Zimbabwe,
realized the extent of gold present around the old African mining villages along
the Mfuli and Tati Rivers. At Potchefstroom, in December 1867, Hartley and Mauch
announced the extent of gold present in Mashonaland, thus beginning the first
gold rush as prospectors and miners from Europe and Australia began the long
trek northward up the missionaries' road. The Transvaal Government did its utmost
to get hold of the Tati goldfields, but the ailing king, remembering old enmity
with the Boers, steadily refused to allow them a grant.
In 1869 Hartley was engaged by Thomas Baines, acting on behalf of the newly
formed South African Goldfields Exploration Company, to guide him to the Mashonaland
goldfields. Baines ranked only just below Livingstone, Stanley and Park in the
hierarchy of Victorian explorers in Africa. Baines must also be considered one
of the founders of modern Rhodesia.
Henry married three times and left abt.eight children. He died at his farm
'Thorndale' in the Transvaal on 8th February 1876
Jesse HARTLEY [1780-1860 ] English Architect, designed The Albert
Dock at Liverpool, England.
Jesse Hartley designed and built the Albert Dock and its warehouses. At the
time he was surveyor to the Liverpool Dock Trustees and by far the highest-paid
salaried engineer in the country. In the 36 years he spent working for the Liverpool
Dock Trustees, Hartley either built or altered every dock in the city. The quality
of his work and its longevity suggests that it was more than just a job to him
- they are a testament to his dedication and attention to detail.
The Victoria Tower, built by Hartley in 1848 at the entrance to Salisbury Dock
His position gave Hartley the opportunity to deal with each dock as part of
a whole system, rather than simply as a stand-alone basin. He was acutely aware
of the importance of good communication between docks, through railways, canals
and roads, as well as ease and safety of access for ships. Hartley was certainly
thorough, and liked to supervise every stage of design and execution.
While planning the Albert Dock and its warehouses, possibly his most famous
creation, Hartley built models of the warehouses to test the brick arches. While
not a particularly novel designer Hartley nevertheless created a number of new
uses for iron including crane arches on the walls of the warehouses. He also
mocked up a large-scale model to observe how a layer of iron beneath a wooden
floor helped it resist fire. Hartley's stressed-skin roof structure was the
first of its kind and a dazzling piece of innovation. It consisted of wrought
iron plates, riveted together to produce a light but sturdy structure that was
less of a target for thieves, and in the event of a fire was less likely to
cause damage to passers-by. It was also an expensive development, only adopted
for the extra security it afforded the building. Hartley's designs were both
practical and economically sensible, showing a pragmatic and prudent nature.
Not all of Hartley's designs are as sombre and purely functional as the Albert
Dock: the hydraulic accumulator tower at Canada Dock looks more like a castle
than a dock structure.
At the far end of Albert Dock is a plaque in his honour, placed by the Institution
of Civil Engineers.
Jonathan Scott HARTLEY [1845-1912] Sculptor
Jonathan was born in Albany, New York, 23 September, 1845. He was educated at
the Albany academy and began his professional life as a worker in marble. Subsequently
he went to England, where he passed three years, entered the Royal academy,
and gained a silver medal in 1869. After residing for a year in Germany, he
returned to the United States, and after another visit to Europe, when he went
to Paris and Rome, he became a resident of New York. He is one of the original
members of the Salmagundi sketch club, and was professor of anatomy in the schools
of the Art students' league in 1878-'84, and president of the league in 1879-'80.
His works include "The Young Samaritan," "King Rene's Daughter" (1872); "The
Whirlwind" (1878); a statue of Miles Morgan, erected at Springfield, Massachusetts,
in 1882, and bas-reliefs on the monument at Saratoga that commemorates the defeat
of Burgoyne.

L[eslie] P[oles] HARTLEY CBE [1895-1972] English Novelist.
Leslie's mother was Mary Elizabeth [Bessie] [née THOMPSON]. His father, Harry
Bark HARTLEY, was a solicitor in Peterborough.
LP Hartley was given the name Leslie after Virginia Woolf's father, Sir Leslie
Stephen. He had two sisters, Enid Vary, who was three years older, and Annie
Norah who was eight years younger.
In 1908 the family was able to move in to Fletton Tower, a few minutes from
the centre of Peterborough, and which was styled as a miniature castle protected
by a high wall and trees. Leslie and Enid Hartley were first taught at home
by a teacher who came after he had finished his day's work at a local school.
Enid Hartley was then sent to St Felix School at Southwold.
In the autumn of 1908 Leslie Hartley became a boarder at Northdown Hill preparatory
school in Cliftonville, Thanet. In August 1909 he was invited by one of the
other boys, Moxey, to stay with his family at Bradenham Hall which they had
rented from the Rider Haggards, near Swaffham in Norfolk. It seems plausible
that this inspired elements in The Go-Between, with Bradenham Hall becoming
Brandham Hall, and Moxey becoming Maudsley.
In April 1910 Leslie Hartley became a boarder at Clifton College, a public school
on the edge of Bristol. He was then sent to Harrow School. He ended up as head
of the school.
In December 1914 he won an exhibition to Balliol College, Oxford, and he arrived
there in October 1915 to study Modern History. However, with the start of the
First World War the future at Oxford was uncertain and he wondered for some
time whether he should enlist in the Army. In the spring of 1916 he made his
decision and left Balliol College.
In April 1916 he enlisted as a gunner and went to Cooden Camp, Bexley and then
he was transferred to an infantry regiment at Catterick Bridge in north Yorkshire,
where he took on the job of the camp's postman. He was then sent to an officers'
training corps at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, where he was made into a
Second Lieutenant. He was invalided out of the army in September 1918.
After a year of further recuperation he returned to Oxford in October 1919.
He became a member of the Brackenbury Society and also of the Pagan Society.
When he was President of the Pagans he had the task of introducing and thanking
Siegfried Sassoon who gave an address to the Society.
In March 1920 he was made a co-editor of the Oxford Outlook along with Gerald
Howard and A. B. B. Valentine, and he began to commission work from authors
such as Charles Morgan, L. A. G. Strong, Edmund Blunden, Louis Golding, John
Strachey, and C. M. Bowra. His own work began to appear in the publication,
including The Cat, Night Fears, A Portrait, A Summons, A Condition of Release,
and The Duke's Tragedy. Between the wars he lived in Venice. Then he lived alone,
apart from servants, in London, Salisbury, and near Bath. His trilogy The Shrimp
and the Anemone, (1944), The Sixth Heaven, (1946), and Eustace and Hilda, (1947),
is a study of the intense relationship between a brother and sister from childhood
to maturity. It was awarded the James Tait Memorial Prize. His novel The Go-Between,
(1953), won the Heinemann Foundation Award. The novel was adapted for film in
1971, as was The Hireling in 1973. Leslie was awarded a CBE in 1956 and was
named a Companion of Literature in 1972.
Marcellus HARTLEY [1827-1902]
Marcellus HARTLEY of New York, was a member of the
firm of Schuyler, Hartley and Graham, manufacturers of firearms, the organizer
of the Remington Arms Plant and the Union Metallic Cartridge Company of Bridgeport,
Connecticut, and noted for his many charities, among them the founding, in 1897,
of HARTLEY HOUSE, the uniquely efficient settlement in New York City.
He was the son of Robert Milham HARTLEY, who was also a leading philanthropist
of New York, the founder in 1829 of the New York Temperance Society, and, in
1844, of the New York Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor. Robert
was also largely instrumental in founding the Presbyterian Hospital, New York,
and was a supporter of the Workingmen's Home, the Juvenile Asylum, the Hospital
for the Ruptured and Crippled, and other charitable institutions. He started
also the first pure milk crusade. The fourth child, and eldest son of his parents,
Robert was born in Cockermouth, Cumberland, England, February 17, 1796.
Robert was brought by his mother, in 1799, to join his father, Isaac HARTLEY,
in New York, where he died March 3, 1881. Isaac was, like his father and grandfather,
a woollen manufacturer, and was born in Cockermouth, December 30, 1765, came
to America in 1797, and died in Perth, New York, October 6, 1851. In 1787 Isaac
married Isabella, the daughter of Joseph JOHNSON of Embleton, England.
Isaac's father, Robert HARTLEY, who was born in Broughton, England, in
1736 and who died in Cockermouth in 1803, married, in 1754, Martha SMITHSON,
the daughter of Isaac SMITHSON, granddaughter of Sir Hugh SMITHSON, Bart., and
a cousin of Sir Hugh SMITHSON [afterwards Percy], 1st Duke of Northumberland,
the father of James SMITHSON, who founded the Smithsonian Institute at Washington,
District of Columbia.
Robert HARTLEY's father, James HARTLEY, was the son of the Reverend
David HARTLEY, vicar of Armley, Yorkshire and brother of Doctor David
HARTLEY [see above].
Marcellus HARTLEY DODGE was a descendant of Marcellus HARTLEY.

Marsden HARTLEY [1877-1943] American Modern
Artist
Marsden Hartley was born Edmund Hartley on January 4, 1877 in Lewiston, Maine.
His mother died when he was eight, leaving him under the care of an older sister.
In 1893, at the age of 16, Hartley joined his father and stepmother of four
years, Martha (Marsden) Hartley, in Cleveland, Ohio, where he began formal art
training three years later (in 1906, at the age of 29, Hartley adopted his stepmother's
maiden surname, Marsden, as his first name).
His talent won him a five-year scholarship for study at New York's National
Academy of Design, which he began in 1899 at the age of 22. Nearly 10 years
later, Hartley's post-impressionist Maine mountain scenes garnered the attention
of Alfred Stieglitz, who ran 291, the most influential gallery for vanguard
art in the United States in the early 1900s. Hartley's first solo exhibition
at 291 in 1909, led to his long-standing affiliation with the Stieglitz circle
of artists, writers, and cultural critics.
