NOTE
The birth records of Covington, Kenton County, Kentucky show a James Whittaker born to A. Whittaker and (?) Noel. This has to be the birth record of Bartlett as it is on the exact same day as Bartlett was born. Whether or not they decided to rename him or if Bartlett or James are a middle name is unknown.
It is interesting to note that Bart shows his father as being born in Massachusetts, according to the 1900 US Census of Covington, Kenton Co., Kentucky. Alfred Whitteker, Sr was not born in Massachusetts himself; but, his own father, William Whitteker, was born there. I think this is just one more piece of evidence to show that Alfred was the son of William. Both of Alfred Sr's parents were from Massachusetts and must have had New England accents. Alfred Sr may also have picked up this accent from his parents. He may also have said that his family was from Massachusetts and Bart may have picked up on that and thought that his father was from there as well.
Bart moved to Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio sometime after 1900 and before his son, John was born in 1902. He worked there as a wholesale druggist. He is buried, with his wife, in the Oak Dale Cemetery in Urbana, Ohio.
