Lloyd,

In addition to the couple that Rose noted, we also have another couple 
named Hartmann Friedrich and Caroline Kuperstein.   We have not marriage 
data for that couple, but they have a daughter Juliana Friedrich, born 
in 1850 in Dubno, and she marries Johann Marks.  

Based on the couple that Rose found, and also based on the couple that I 
mention above, your data fits in all respects, except for the 1841 birth 
you note for your Hartmann.  Are you sure that his birth year is not 
about 1818?

So neither of your surnames would be classed as common among Jews since they would only have been in existence for 50-60 years. It is far more likely that a Jew adapted or adopted your noted surnames than vice versa.
