THE BARTLETT FAMILIES


From records in existence the Bartletts of Bristol can clearly trace their genealogy from Adam Bartlett, who d. in England in the year 1100. He was an Esquire to Brian, a Knight, and landed in England with him, with William the Conqueror, and seated himself in Ferring, Co. Sussex. Brian's name appears on


20


HISTORY OF BRISTOL .


the "Battle Abbey Roll." Both received grants of land, Stop- ham, in Sussex, being the principal grant. Brian, the Norman Knight, assumed the name of Brian de Stopham.


In the 14th century, John Bartlett married a daughter and heiress of the Stophams and came into possession of the whole property, the male line of the Stophams having failed. The Bartletts have lived on the estate since the Conquest, and fought at the battles of Crecy in 1346, and at Poitiers in 1356, and subscribed liberally towards the fund to defend England against the attack of the Spanish armada in 1588. The records in the stone church, built by the family in the 13th century, is complete from John Bartlett, born early in 1300, to the present. Sir Walter B. Bartlett, the present representative of the family, is a member of the House of Commons. In 1514, Richard Bartlett, heir of the estate, died. He left several children, one of whom was Edmund, who d. leaving, with other children two sons, John and Richard, who came to America in ship Mary and John, and settled in Newbury, Mass., about 1634. The Bart- letts of Bristol are the descendants of


I. Richard, b. 1590, who came to America as above. He d. May 25, 1647, leaving five children. One son


2. Richard, b. England, 1621, came to America with his father. He was representative in the Colonial legislature of 1679, 1680, 1681, and 1684. He d. Newbury, Mass., 1698. His wife, Abigail, d. Mar. 1, 1687. His second son was


3. Richard, b. Feb. 21, 1649. He m. Nov. 18, 1673, Hannah Emery of Newbury, Mass. He d. leaving ten children, of whom the eighth was


4. Stephen, b. Apr. 21, 1691, in Newbury, m. Hannah Webster of Salisbury, Mass. He left several children, of whom the second was


5. Joseph, b. Apr. 18, 1720 ; m. Jane Colby, dau. of Icha- bod Colby, a physician in Salisbury, Mass. He left several children of whom the oldest was


6. Levi, b. Apr. 25, 1745. Of his children one was


7. Ichabod Colby Bartlett, b. Amesbury, Mass., Mar. 29, 1779. His father died when he was a mere boy and he removed with his mother to Boscawen. He commenced life as a clerk in the store of Andrew Bowers, in Salisbury, Mass., where he remained till 1800, when he came to Bristol. He soon after com- menced trade in a very humble way, in a building that stood on east side South Main street, where is now Frank W. Bingham's harness shop. In 1802, he erected a wooden building in Central square, just in front of the present store in this square. Here his business rapidly increased and about 1823 he erected the brick part of the present store. Here he continued in trade till 1838 ; engaged in farming and quite extensively in the cattle trade, and accumulated a large property. "Cato," Dr. J. S. Eaton, in


ICHABOD C. BARTLETT


2I


GENEALOGIES - BARTLETT


a letter to The Enterprise, Dec. 7, 1878, thus speaks of Mr. Bartlett : "The name of Ichabod C. Bartlett was a tower of honor and strength in the commercial world. His strict methods of business taught the people providence and the importance of paying their debts. Each fall Mr. Bartlett and his aids would gather up a great herd of cattle for market, taken largely for debt, and woe to the luckless debtor who did not call at the cap- tain's office and settle. He was a gentleman of the old school in dress and manners, just but tenacious. When the question of the color of paint for the pews of the new church was discussed, Mr. Bartlett said 'white,' the majority said 'green,' so all the pews were painted green except Mr. Bartlett's which was painted white, which color was later approved by all. Excommunicated from the church for selling rum, he later became a strong tem- perance man and reunited with the church." He was suc- ceeded in business by his sons. He represented Bridgewater three years in the legislature and served as town clerk, and served Bridgewater and Bristol as treasurer. Nov. 11, 1801, he m. Anna S., dau. of Col. Peter Sleeper. (See.) She d. in Bristol, Oct. 8, 1869, ae. 86-1-26 ; he.d. Bristol, Mar. 20, 1860, ae. 80-II-21. His residence was on the north side of Pleasant street, the same as now occupied by his son.
