GENEALOGY OF FAMILIES IN WEARE.
BARTLETT.
There are but few families who can trace their family name and lineage back so far, and with such undoubted accuracy, as the Bart- letts. The fact that their ancestor was an Esquire to Brian, a knight who fought at the battle of Hastings, under William the Conqueror, is fully established from the act of William, who granted him a large tract of land in Sussex. He was buried at Stopham, in the year 1100. The records from that time down to 1360 are in- complete; yet we have the names of at least four generations during that time who were buried in Stopham church. Following Adam Barttelot, the first of the name as above stated, we have: William
Barttelot de Stopham, John Barttelot, Esq., Richard Barttelot, Esq., Thomas Barttelot, Esq. Then follows John Barttelot, who, in charge of the Sussex troops, captured the castle of Fontenoy, under Edward the Black Prince, in 1356. He m. Joan, the heiress of the Stophams, in 1360. His son, or grandson - probably the latter- John Barttelot, m. Joan, dau. and heiress of John de Lewknor, in 1434, and was a member of Parliament for Sussex, in 1453. Rich- ard Barttelot, son of the last named, d. in 1489. John Barttelot, son of Richard, was m. in 1475, and d. in 1493. Richard Barttelot, Esq., of Stopham, was the son of John. Edmund Barttelot, of Ernly, was the fourth son of Richard; he d. in 1591, leaving four sons : Edmund, John, Richard and Thomas. The three last named emi- grated to America in 1634, and all the Bartletts in America are supposed to be descendants of these brothers.
RICHARD BARTLETT1 came from England to Newbury, Mass., in 1635, and d. May 25, 1647. His son, Richard2, b. in England, 1621, d. in Newbury, 1698.
