The family was assigned to the Nathan Brigham garrison in 1711, which was supposedly on or near what is now Newton Street.(1) If this is correct and the Bartletts lived nearby, it was near the center of the village. The earliest evidence of Daniel buying property is in 1713.(1.1) It was on the "south slope" of Crane Hill (which would place it near the present Cedar Hill St. in Marlborough, the hill now occupied by a school) and adjacent to land owned by Nathan Brigham, who had the mentioned garrison house but likely did not live near Crane Hill, which is in the far western part of town. Daniel bought his homestead land, described as such in his will, in 1725, which was a parcel that straddled the border of Westborough and Marlborough and was close to the Crane Hill parcel.(2) That part of Westborough became Northborough. There were numerous Native American raids through this area in the early 18th century. Daniel is said to have been a target while standing by an "attic" window in his house.(3) This piece of land likely included the Samuel Goodenow garrison house Several records show that Daniel was an ensign in the local militia.(4) He had one of the house lots in land grants to soldiers in King Philip's War, but details on his service haven't been found. His lot was in Narraganset Township Number 6, later incorporated as Templeton, Massachusetts. When the north precinct of Westborough (now Northborough) built a meeting house, accounts of "labour in cutting timer and allso in carting allso in framing & finishing" presented at a town meeting on 10 November 1746 included Daniel being owed 2 pounds, 14 shillings and 3 pence.(5) Daniel made his will on 2 October 1758.(6) Son Jonas was to have his father's homestead, divided between him and his mother, and his mother's part after she died. He was not to have the back of the house after his father died, perhaps indicating that his mother would have that part. Jonas also was given 5 acres in Stirrup Meadow, which was near the homestead land (Stirrup Brook ran through the latter) and all of his father's personal estate aside from his mother's portion. Daniel wrote a codicil to the will on 28 April 1761. His daughter Mary had been taking care of him due to his "declining languishing state," and he wanted to compensate her, anticipating that the situation might continue. Jonas was to pay her 26 pounds, 13 shillings and 4 pence. Daniel's burial place hasn't been found. As executor of his father's estate, Jonas asked the court for allowance to pay for gravestones from Daniel's estate (no answer is recorded). He may have been buried on the family property, but more likely it was in an apparently unmarked grave in the town's earliest burial yard, the Brigham Street Cemetery. An inventory of the cemetery is being planned and may reveal stones that are now below ground. An unidentified source on the history of Marlborough says that "Ensign Daniel Bartlett died in the west part of Marlborough, age 73 years. His 12 children distributed at his funeral 19 pairs of black gloves, 18 pairs of white gloves, 12 black gauze handkerchiefs and other articles, all costing 75 pounds and 7 shillings." Gloves are mentioned in a probate account, but that monetary figure is a gross exaggeration. The account, included below, gives a much more reasonable figure of 17 pounds, 5 shillings and 8 pence.
