Biography

John Bartlett (about 1644 - d. 1684) – John Bartlett, probably was born in England, he married Sarah Aldridge the daughter of George and Katherine Seald Aldridge in 1665. John and Sarah first settled at Weymouth, Massachusetts about 1666. He was one who had his money invested in the development of the town as a Proprietor. They moved to Mendon, Massachusetts in 1671. At a Mendon town meeting on January 1, 1672 he was granted a twenty-acre house lot with all the rights and privileges that other twenty acre lot owners had, except he had to wait for his meadow until all other inhabitants who had come before him had received theirs. At the town meeting on March 18, 1672 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. John and Sarah left Mendon at the outbreak of King Philip’s war, as did the rest of the settlers (several settlements were attacked by Native Americans let by King Phillip in 1775). They returned after peace was restored. By 1683 they moved to Rehoboth, Rhode Island (Cumberland). On June 5, 1683 he took an oath of fidelity as a resident of Rehoboth. John died on February 26, 1684, he was just forty years old. Sarah died a year later on February 17, 1685. John and his wife left a very large estate to their eight minor children. The estate was most likely held in trust by the “Proprietors” to provide for the children. In 1698, an agreement was signed by all the children, except Noah and Daniel, not then of age, for the distribution of the property.[5]

JohnBARTLETT,(c1644-1684) a Carpenter the son of parents was born about 1644, in England. He married Sarah Aldrich in 1665, at Braintree, Norfolk Co., MA

John and Sarah first settled at Weymouth, Norfolk Co., MA, 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, Worcester Co., MA, 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, Bristol Co., MA, now part of RI. On the sixth day of June 1683 he agreed to take the Oath of Allegiance, or of Fidelity to MA 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. ________________________________________________________________

In 1671 he removed to Mendon, MA, 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 RI, where he died.

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.

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.

(Emails removed as per wikitree instructions...) Wednesday, July 21, 1999 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 .

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. Sandra ....... THE QUAKER BARTLETTS John BARTLETT, son of John and Sarah, his wife born at Weymouth, Norfolk Co., MA, 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 RI 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, MA, his children were John, Samuel, Jacob, Moses, Sarah and Mary. Wm. BLACKSTONE was the first known settler of RI, 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 RI 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 RI pioneer. Mr. BARTLETT published a history of the RI BARTLETTs about forty years ago that is interesting reading. ---Nellie (Allen) BARTLETT, 1931.

I must have missed something . The profile says John was born (uncertain) in Massachusetts Bay Colony, but the biography refers to a birth in England.
posted by Charlie Getchell
birth place not known, they guess either England or Massachusetts... too bad you can't put Eng or Mass.

But depending what source you follow, use that info. Makes it less confusing...

Should the line, "John Bartlett passed away in August 1684 and Abigail passed in January 1684/5." be changes to refer to Sarah instead of Abigail?
posted by Charlie Getchell
I corrected it to0 Sarah... no one else did it in 2 years, lol

JOHN BARTLETT. (p.29 of the Bartletts...)

John Bartlett and his wife Sarah were at Weymouth, Mass., before 1666. In 1671 he had removed to Mendon, Mass., and was there in 1679 and 1682. June 6, 1682, he bought land and removed to the place called Senechetaconnet, 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 August 17, 1684. Sarah, his wife, died the following January, 1684-5.

(nice short summary.)

I like the death place as it is... British America is a misnomer... the Brits and others stole it from the natives and we should not reward it with a legitimization of the theft... North America is better for me. I googled to ask if the natives had a name for the continent. They did not, just called it our land.

we may not presently know where the deaths occurred... in the area of modern Manville, RI, , then known as part of Plymouth Colony, or in Rehoboth proper... both would have been under Plymouth Colony at the time...

The will record in Plymouth, says John Bartlett of Rehoboth... has anyone traced where he lived at the time via land records and then plotted it on a map of the time?

The burial place on Find a Grave is in Newman Avenue cemetery, East Providence, RI, which at one time was in Rehoboth before the boundary changes were made, but to me it seems distant from where they may have been living...

Anyone know for sure where John and Sarah Bartlett are buried??

this page has a list of burials in the Newman Ave cemetery:

in database of RI historical cemeteries:

http://rihistoriccemeteries.org/newsearchcemetery.aspx

info on Newman Ave cemetery:

cem number EP003 NEWMAN CEMETERY, 1681 oldest burial, 1992 newest burial, total 2000 burials. This cemetery was originally in Rehoboth, MA. In 1812 the western half of Rehoboth was set off as a separate township called Seekonk, Ma. In 1862 the western part of Old Seekonk was ceeded to Rhode Island and was incorporated as East Providence, RI. It is 10.25 acres. Copied in 1850 by David Jillson; 1932 by Marion Pearce Carter, 1970s by Robert Trim, and by Ira Peck about 1860. Most photos by Julie Nathanson 2008-2009. Others by Vincent Luti about 1980 and John Sterling in 1995.

when I clicked on the listing of names, NO Bartletts were listed and NO Aldriches. NONE.

So where did Find A Grave get their listings from????

Where lieth John and Sarah Bartlett???

Today at New York State Library, found a typescript list of the Newman Cemetery burials from 1938 by Marion Carter... no Aldrich and no Bartlett names listed...

This warning was generated by the merge.

Warning: Check the dates. 1.A father's death date should not be more than nine months before one of his children's birth dates

posted by Barry Malcolm
the problem may have been the computers don't like 1683/84 years, so we did it Jan. 1684. Father John died 8 months later in Aug. 1684. and the mother died the following January, leaving several minor children, as seen in the estate proceedings of Plymouth Colony.
posted by Loren Fay
Bartlett-1889 and Bartlett-1587 appear to represent the same person because: Married the same person, same name, same children, same date of death and death location.
posted by Sherry Bartlett
done as they no longer want to be merged, other number opens the lower number, etc.
posted by Loren Fay
Death Place should change to: Rehoboth, Plymouth Colony, British America

This reflects more more accurately, the true place she was born (time appropriate. Bristol County, RI, did not exist until 1746, Rehoboth was established 1643, under Plymouth Colony,

i see no reason to change North America, deep six the British idea, please...
