Bartlett has married, reportedly in 1861, and in his household are wife, Elizabeth (Jones) Dills, and children: Rufus, Martha, John, Richard, William, and Lee. A small problem with the birth date for Rufus. He is listed as 11 years old, born 1859, but Bartlett was still at home with his mother on the 1860 census. Is the date wrong, or was Rufus born a little early?
