David Hartin was born in 1824. He married Sarah Malcomsom (1827–1904), daughter of Robert Malcomson, and together they had seven children - Charles (1854–1914), Robert (1856–1883), Gilbert (1858-), David (1865–1914), William Henry (1861–1948), Catherine (1862–1924), and Margaret Ann (1867–1932). David Hartin died 23 November 1893 and was buried in the Carp Road Presbyterian Cemetery, Huntley Township.[1][2][3]

In 1870 David Hartin purchased the former Malcomson Tavern in Bells Corners from then owner William Corbett. Unfortunately, in August of that year it was destroyed by fire. He subsequently rebuilt a larger stone structure on the site and named it Hartin's Hotel. It still stands today as the home of Al's Steakhouse.[4] It is one of the oldest buildings in Bells Corners.

According to the 1881 census David and his son Charles also farmed 50 acres of land in the area.[5]
