JohnBARTLETT,(c1644-1684) a Carpenter the son of unknown parents was born about 1644, in England. He married Sarah Aldrich in 1665, at Braintree, Massachusetts. John and Sarah first settled at Weymouth, Massachusetts, about 1666. He was one of those who had invested his money in the development of the town as a Proprietor, he then moved to Mendon, Massachusetts, in 1671. At a town meeting held on the first day of, January 1672, he was granted a twenty-acre house lot with all the rights and privileges that other twenty acre lot owners had accept that he had to wait for his Meadow until all other inhabitants who had come before him had received theirs. At the town meeting on the eighteenth day of March, that year, it was voted by the freemen and granted that he should pay ten pounds for his lot which was on the west side of Mill River.

John was the contractor who built the house of the Reverend Grindal Rawson, Mendon's minister. It was voted by the freemen on the fourteenth day of November 1681, that a note for sixteen pounds due him should be paid. They were to pay one half in Indian corn, at two shillings a bushel and the other half in pork at two pence a pound, this being the same that was to be paid when the house was finished.

On the sixth day of June 1682, John bought of William Sabin, fifty acres of land on the Pawtucket river, now called Blackstone River, in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, now part of Rhode Island. On the sixth day of June 1683 he agreed to take the Oath of Allegiance, or of Fidelity to Massachusetts government.

John at the age of forty was buried on the seventeenth day of August 1684, at Rehoboth. It was the custom at that time, in Rehoboth, to record the date of burial instead of the time of death. This was also the method in a few other towns in early times. John's estate was a large estate to have in those days, and this, too, just after the close of that devastating war with King Phillip, when all suffered such extreme losses. At that time, nearly every article of manufacture was imported from England, and it had not been many years since their cows and horses were received from the mother country. The cows were so useful for the dairy, and were also brought into requisition at the plow and cart, very few settlers keep oxen.

John probably came from England as a youth or young man. He and his wife,Sarah, were at Weymouth before 1666. In 1671 he removed to Mendon, Massachusetts, and was there in 1679 and 1682. June 6, 1682, he bought land and removed to the place called Senechtaconnet, which at that time, was in the town of Rehoboth and under the jurisdiction of the Plymouth Colony, but now known as Manville, in the town of Cumberland and State of Rhode Island, where he died. Sarah, his wife died the following year.

John lived in Weymouth, MA in 1666; Mendon, RI by 1672; and in Rehoboth, MA
by 1683. Although he was listed as head of a household in Mendon at the outbreak of King Philip's War, he left and did not return until after peace had been secured, as did the rest of the settlers there. He left a very large estate to his eight children, who were all then minors; in Jan 1698/9, the children, except Noah and Daniel who were not of age, petionned to settle the estate.

John Bartlett was of Weymouth, Mendon, and Rehoboth, Ma. In 1672, he was at Mendon, where he received lot number 9 in a division of swamp land. In 1675, he was one of the heads of families resident at Mendon, but left that town at the outbreak of King Philip's War as did the rest of the settlers, though he and many others returned after peace had been secured. 5 June 1683, he took the oath of fidelity, being now a resident of Rehoboth. 26 Feb., 1685, the inventory of his estate amounting to 138 pounds, 17 shillings, 3 pense, was sworn to be John Bartlett and Sarah Aldrich.

As John Bartlett had removed to Rehoboth, and within the jurisdiction of Plymouth, according to the custom of those times, he was obliged to take the oath of allegiance, or "fidelity," to that government. This he did, as we find the following in the Plymouth Colony Court Records, June 6, 1683: "This Court, Captain Richmond, of Little Compton, and John Bartlett. of Rehoboth, took the oath of fidelitie to this government."(*) John Bartlett and his wife did not long enjoy their new possessions. The Rehoboth records have this: (+)"John Bartlett buried 17th August, 1684. Sarah, wife of John Bartlett, buried 17th January, 1684-5." After her husband's death,
(*)Precisely one year from the date of the deed of land which he bought from William Sabin.

Sarah had petitioned the General Court at Plymouth for letters of administration, but before they reached her, she, too, had died. The case was again taken under advisement, at a court held in Plymouth, March 5, 1684-5, and the following order was passed: "Whereas, administration was granted to Sarah Bartlett, relict of John Bartlett, late of Rehoboth, and an order to the Worsh Mr. Daniel Smith to take her oth to the inventory, but before there was oppertunity for soe doeing, said Sarah died, the Court therefore requests the Worsh Mr. Daniel Smith, together with the celect men of Rehoboth, to make enquiry for a fitte person to take out letters of administration on the estate, and that the younger children, by the said Mr. Smith, and the celect men of the towne, be disposed as may be most for theire good & least charge to the estate, and the estate be according to theire best judgment secured and improued for the benefitt of the orphanes, and that they giue accounpt of theire actings and all matters relating to said children and estate to the next Court, and for theire confeirmation, and further settleing the children that ma chuse theire guardians, be sent to the General Court for approbation. And if a meete psn psent himself that will giue bond to adminnestration to the said pson, and giue oth to the inventory, and that hee make a return of his doeings to the next Court." The estate was "inventoried and apprised by the Proprietors," February 26, 1684, and a copy sent to Plymouth, which is on record there. The following articles were mentioned in the inventory:

THE BARTLETT INVENTORY.

"Wearing apparel, Bedding, Wife's apparel and Linnen, Warming pan & pewter, Iron Potts & Possnett, Spinning Wheel Cards and Leather, Chests, Box & Linnen, Rumletts, Pails, and other Cooper's Wares, Trays, Dishes & Bronchors, Glass Bottles & Spoons, Pinchers, Knives, Awls, Hammers & Gimbletts, Trowells, Tounges, Bellows & Chairs, Two Guns, Sword, Sickle, a Smoothing Iron, Yarn & Cloath, Earthen Pots, Bedding in the chamber, Saddle & Pillian, A Box Salt & a Chest with Carpenters' Tools, Weidges, Rings, Bridles, Halters, Axes & Hoes, Sulkies with their tackling and forks, Cart, Plow & Chains att, A Trapp on son by Information, A Raw Hidde, Swine, Two Oxen, Three Cows & two Heffers, a Mare & Colt, Qu Indian Corn, The House & fifty acres of land enclosed.

The estate of John Bartlett and wife was very likely held in trust by the "Proprietors" until 1698. At that time, the children, except Noah and Daniel, not then of age, signed an agreement for the distribution of the property, which had become impaired by providing for many young children during the fourteen years which elapsed after the death of their parents. The following is a copy of the agreement recorded in the Bristol county probate office at Taunton, Mass."

The Bartlett Ancestery

While doing research at the Michigan genealogy library,I came across this
bit of information [ from a book called the Bartletts] that I had not seen
posted on the net before. I found it very interesting, and hope it will
enlightened all of us related in this family { Don Bluhm]

All persons in this country, named Bartlett, are without doubt of Norman
ancestry. There is a large estate at Stopham,Sussex, England, consisting of
some of thousands of acres, which have been in possession of the Bartlett's
for hundreds of years. From junior members of this family in former times,
came the first settlers on these American shores. The ancestral mansion was
built in 1309, and is a noble building of stone. Near it, stands the old
Norman Church,built by the family in the 13 th century, and on the stone
floor, along the aisles of the church, are marble slabs with inset figures of
brass showing a regular succession of Bartlett's, from John, who died in
1428, to Colonel George Bartlett,or Barttelot, as the name was spelled in
early times, who died November 1872, aged 84 years. Here have the Bartlett's
lived since the time of the Norman invasion. The first of the family was
Adam Barttelot, an Esquire in the retinue of Brian,a Knight, and they came
into England with William, the Conqueror, and fought at Hastings. Both were
granted lands. In the 15th century, a castle appears as the crest of the
coat of arms which was granted by Edward, the Black Prince, to John
Barttelot, for taking the castle of Fontenoy, in France. In the 16 th
century, a swan was added, and granted, by the Garter King of Arms . Since
that time, the crest is double a Castle, and Swan. The original coat of arms
of the family was three open, left -hand, falconers's gloves, with golden
tassels above the wrist. The coat of arms now in use is very elaborate,
representing different coats of arms of families who have inner married with
the Barttelots. The quarterings of Smith, Musgrave and Boldero, were added
and 1875, when Sir Walter B.Barttelot, the present representative of the
family was created a baronet.

The family lineage with the succession from the Norman ancestor to the
present time, maybe found in the Sir Bernard Burke's " Genealogical and
Heraldic Dictionary of the Peerage and Baronetage," which in England is the
authoritative book of titular genealogical reference; almost every public
library in this country has a copy amongest its standards works of reference.


The name is spelled in many different ways in the family record,
B-a-r-t-t-e-l-o-t occurred most frequently in the older documents . It
appears that, in former times many of the younger members of the family, who
were obliged to seek their fortunes elsewhere on the accession of their elder
brother to the entailed inheritance, adopted a different spelling of the
name. It is quite evident that this change in spelling was not, originally,
because wholly the result of caprice or accident. The intention may have
been that it should be designative, to denote the diminutive, or lesser, of
the Barttelots. Sir Walter, like most of his predecessors who were
incumbents of the ancestral estate, uses the ancient Norman orthography.

The origin of the name does not appear to be known. Its existence at such a
remote period would seem to prevent any intelligent supposition as to the way
it first originated. The derivation from Bartholemew, as presented by a
writer on surnames, appears labored and far fetched, and with out
corroborative reference, will fail to satisfy the enquirer .

Peggy,

As promised, I looked for and found what I knew I had somewhere on your
Bartletts. I'm also sending a copy to Jackie and Norma.

After finding it and seeing what it was, I suspect all of you have already
seen this since it appears to have come from the Bartlett book written by
Thomas E. Bartlett. It was written by Nellie (Allen) Bartlett in a book
about her family.

What I would like to do, if you think this is accurate, is put it on the
website on the first page of the chart. Information like this brings a
family to life, instead of just names and dates on a cold chart. Let me
know what you think.

THE QUAKER BARTLETTS

John BARTLETT, son of John and Sarah, his wife born at Weymouth, Mass.,
Feb. 11, 1666. The family soon moved to Mendon.

At a town meeting Oct. 22, 1730, it was voted to provide "a Barrell of
Ruhm" toward raising the new meeting house. John BARTLETT was given the
contract to build the ministers house—Nov. 14, 1681 it was voted to pay a
note for 16 pounds "due to John BARTLETT, one half in Indian corn, att two
shillings a bushel, the other half in pork att 2 pence a pound".

The town of Mendon was burned by the Indians during King Phillips War and
the BARTLETTs were next found in Rhode Island where John Purchased land at
Rehoboth, later named Cumberland R. I. Here he died in 1684.

John BARTLETT left a large estate, his inventory is in the records of
Plymouth, Mass, and the family settlement of the property is filed in
probate office Taunton, Mass., his children were John, Samuel, Jacob,
Moses, Sarah and Mary.

Wm. BLACKSTONE was the first known settler of Rhode Island, when John
BARTLETT fled from the Indians. He settled Blackstone on Blackstone River.

John’s children and several generations following were Friends, or
Quakers. They established the BARTLETT burying ground but there are few
stones with inscriptions as the early Quakers did not believe in such
ostentation.

Moses BARTLETT, one of the sons was a strong temperance man and in 1725 put
in one of his recorded deeds: "There shall be no house of entertainment,
nor any strong drinks sold upon the premises forever". This at the time
when nearly all men used alcohol shows his force of character and
independence. This independence however finally got him into trouble with
the straight laced Quakers who looked with holy horror on his new ideas and
"new departure" from their line of thinking and in 1741 he was
excommunicated.

Job BARTLETT, son of John (2) was the first town clerk of Cumberland, later
its first representative. He was a member of the Rhode Island legislature
for four years.

When the town of Cumberland was incorporated its prominent offices were
filled with persons named BARTLETT. These town records stand today as
samples of system, accuracy and care in all transactions.

Samuel BARTLETT was first treasurer of Cumberland and also served in the
Legislature. He was manafacturer [sic] of farm tools, and iron worker and
blacksmith. His farm machinery, scythes, axes, hoes, forks, shovels, found
their market in New York, Boston, Providence and over New England.

Joseph, grandson of John lived about a mile outside of Providence. He and
his wife were earnest, devout, pious Quakers and "took great pains with the
religious education of his children".

On one of the old BARTLETT farms near Providence there are now three cotton
factories and their villages of about one thousand workers.

For the above facts on the Quaker BARTLETTs we are indebted to Thomas
Edward BARTLETT, a direct descendant of John, the Rhode Island pioneer.
Mr. BARTLETT published a history of the Rhode Island BARTLETTs about forty
years ago that is interesting reading. ---Nellie (ALLEN) BARTLETT, 1931.

Warren, Richard (b. ABT 1580, d. 1628)
Note: Mayflower Passenger

Richard Warren
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Richard Warren, among 10 passengers in the landing party, when the Mayflower arrived at Cape Cod, November 11, 1620
On November 21, 1620, Richard Warren cosigned the Mayflower Compact, covenant of equal laws for the ColonyRichard Warren (c. 1580 - 1628) a passenger on the Mayflower (old "May Floure") in 1620, settled in Plymouth Colony and was among ten passengers of the Mayflower landing party with Myles Standish at Cape Cod on November 11, 1620. [1] [2] [3] Warren co-signed the Mayflower Compact[3] and was one of nineteen (among forty-one) signers who survived the first winter.

His wife Elizabeth (nee Walker), baptised 1583 in Baldock, Hertfordshire, England, died October 2, 1673.[3] She and his first five children, all daughters, came to America in the ship Anne in 1623. Once in America, they then had two sons before Richard's untimely death in 1628.[1][2]

Although the details are limited, Richard Warren and wife, Elizabeth (Walker) Warren, and children were mentioned in official records or books of the time period.[3] All seven of their children survived and had families, with thousands of descendants, including: President Ulysses S. Grant, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, astronaut Alan Shepard, author Laura Ingalls Wilder (Little House on the Prairie series), actor Richard Gere, and the Wright brothers (more below).[1]


[edit] His life
Warren is among the less documented of the Mayflower pioneers. Clearly a man of rank, Warren was accorded by Governor William Bradford the prefix "Mr.", pronounced Master, used in those times to distinguish someone because of birth or achievement. From his widow's subsequent land transactions, we can assume that he was among the wealthier of the original Plymouth Settlers." And yet, Bradford did not mention him in his History of the Plimouth Plantation except in the List of Passengers.

In Mourt's Relation, published in 1622, we learn that Warren was chosen, when the Mayflower stopped at Cape Cod before reaching Plymouth, to be a member of the exploring party among 10 passengers (and 8 crew), and he was described as being "of London" among 3 men. Charles Edward Banks, in Ancestry and Homes of the Pilgrim Fathers writes: "Richard Warren came from London and was called a merchand of that city (by Mourt) Extensive research in every available source of information -- registers, chancery, and probate, in the London courts, proved fruitless in an attempt to identify him."

He was not of the Leiden, Holland, Pilgrims, but joined them in Southampton, England to sail on the Mayflower.

Richard Warren received his acres in the Division of Land in 1623.[1] In the 1627 Division of Lands and Cattle, in May of 1627, "RICHARD WARREN of the Mayflower" was given "one of the black heifers, 2 she-goats, and a grant of 400 acres of land" [2] at the Eel River (Plymouth, Massachusetts). The Warren house built in that year (1627) stood at the same location as the present house; it was re-built about 1700, at the head of Clifford Road, with its back to the sea, and later owned by Charles Strickland (in 1976).[2]

However, Richard Warren died a year after the division, in 1628, the only record of his death being found as a brief note in Nathaniel Morton's 1669 book New England's Memorial, in which Morton writes (archaic grammar):

"This year [1628] died Mr. Richard Warren, who hath been mentioned before in this book, and was an useful instrument ; and during his life bore a deep share in the difficulties and troubles of the first settlement of the plantation of New Plimouth."[3][1]

What conversations!!)

August 24, 1905 Burgess – Bowles. A happy event of much interest to a large circle of relatives and friends took place at the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. George Bowles, Grafton, on Wednesday forenoon of last week. The occasion was the marriage of their daughter, Miss Jessie McDougall Bowles, and Mr. William Boyd Burgess, merchant, of Woodville. Promptly at 8.45, the hour set for the ceremony, to the strains of the wedding march, beautifully rendered by Mrs. J. Howe Cox, a sister of the bride, the bridal party, ushered by Miss Lida Woodruff, of Waterville, entered the parlors, which had been most prettily decorated for the event under the direction of Mr. Fred W. Killam, of the Nova Scotia Nursery, Halifax. They stood beneath a handsome arch, from the centre of which was suspended a magnificent floral bell, the gift of Mrs. Robert Lepine, of Halifax. The bride looked most charming in a lovely gown of white silk organdie with trimmings of silk and applique. She wore the conventional bridal veil and carried a beautiful bouquet of bridal roses, white carnations, and maiden hair fern. Her twin sister, Miss Nellie C. Bowles, and her friend Miss Addie Chesley, of Bridgetown, were bridesmaids. The former was daintily attired in a dress of white organdie with trimmings of lace and insertion. Miss Chesley was most becomingly gowned in a exquisite dress of cream corded voile. Both carried elegant bouquets. Little Miss Vivian Bowles, niece of the bride, and Master George Cox, a nephew, acted as her attendants. The former looked particularly sweet in a dress of cream voile. The bride entered leaning on the arm of her father and took her place beside the groom, who was attended by his brother, Mr. Laurie L. Burgess, B. Sc., of Dalhousie College. The ceremony was performed by Rev. John Hawley, of Waterville, pastor of both bride and groom. Following the ceremony congratulations were extended, after which the guests, numbering upwards of one hundred and fifty, partook of a dainty wedding breakfast. The bridal party were then driven to Waterville Station by Mr. H. E. Sawyer, Proprietor of the Old Homestead, Berwick, where they boarded the west bound Flying Bluenose and, amidst showers of rice and the explosion of torpedoes, departed on their honeymoon which will include a visit to St. John, Portland, Me., Boston, and other cities. They are followed by the best wishes of a host of friends, a large number of whom accompanied them to the station to witness their departure. The bride wore a handsome travelling suit of blue venetian cloth, with hat to match. The groom’s present to the bride was a cheque for fifty dollars. Several other cheques were noticed amongst the gifts. They also included china, cut glass, silverware, and linen. Among them was a handsome china tea set, the gift of Mr. and Mrs. James Murray, of Waterville. Mr. and Mrs. Burgess will, on their return, reside in Woodville, and what is Grafton’s loss will be Woodville’s gain. The writer joins with the very many friends of the young couple in extending best wishes for a long and happy wedded life. – Com.
