BABCOCK FAMILY.
BABCOCK FAMILY.
For many years the Babcock family has been one of the best known in Atlantic County. The house is still standing close to the bank of Great Egg Harbor River where Joseph Babcock and Esther Giberson reared a family of twelve children. She was born in the year 1800 and he was a few years her senior. Their home was near Catawba. then quite a promising town of a dozen houses, a blacksmith shop, store, church, and other build- ings where now only a weather-worn chapel stands in a second growth of woodland.
Just above Catawba was Thompsontown, where was a school house, several fine farms and large peach orchards and a distillery where peach brandy was made. Joseph Bab- cock was a farmer and dealer in wood and timber, kept a store, employed men and teams lumbering before forest fires had denuded valuable areas. In his own vessels he carried to New York wood, charcoal and lumber to exchange for supplies and for years was pros- perons. After his death, about 1850, the widow became the second wife of Absalom Cor- dery. Sr., of Absecon, where she passed the last years of her life, dying about 1864.
The several sons early became familiar with the business of their father and most of them accumulated fortunes as seafaring men.
The Babcock children were:
I. Jonathan, who married Aner Boice. They had three children, Peter and Laura and Emily, late wife of Peter Reed, of Absecon.
2. Job married Anna E. Cordery, of Absecon, both deceased.

J., and Mrs. William Ridgeway, of Atlantic City. John was lost at sea about 1876. Reuben died in Baltimore in 1895.

WILLIAM G. BARTLETT.
BARTLETT FAMILY.
BARTLETT FAMILY.
During or soon after the Revolution, one Oswald Good Bartlett, a German soldier. engaged in farming on the seaward side of the shore road at Pleasantville. lle died about 1836, and is remembered as one of the first German citizens of this county. He married and raised a family of five children: (2) David Good. (3) John Good, (4) Alexander Good, (5) Nancy, (6) Eliza.
The oldest son, David Good Bartlett, lived at Cooper's Point. Camden, for several years, and later settled down as a farmer near the Mount Pleasant Church, at Pleasantville. The old house is still standing where he raised a family of seven sons. His wife was Mar- garet Jones, a native of the county. The seven sons were: (7) William Good. b. November 3. 1820. d. June 15, 1896: (8) Henry Good, (9) Alexander Good, (10) John Good. (11) Joseph Good, (12) Lewis Good, and Enoch Good. The last three are still living.
(7) William Good Bartlett was born at Cooper's Point, in Camden, and lived there till his father moved to Pleasantville. As a young man he was noted for his energy and business enterprise. When twenty years of age he engaged in the oyster business, in which later he reaped a fortune. He went into the woods and cut the timber to build a boat, a sloop yacht, the Essex, in which he carried oysters and clams to New York. In those days, before railroads, the products of the bays were also hauled in wagons extensively over sandy roads to Philadelphia. Young Bartlett often came to this island with beach parties on a day's picnic for surf bathing, when the only bath houses were the groves and hollows among the sand hills.
In 1848, William G. married Armenia, daughter of Daniel Lake and Sarah Ann Tilton. About that time he engaged in the oyster commission trade in Philadelphia, which he con- tinued till near the close of his life. For year's he received and sold all the products of Atlantic County bays and elsewhere that were sent to him. As soon as the building of the first railroad was proposed, in 1853, he secured space near the Vine street wharf, and there prospered greatly for many years. He was one of the first to come to this island with the first railroad, buy land, build houses and stores and share in the various enterprises and successes that followed. He paid $800 for the lot where the Atlantic City National Bank has been, and other lots later in that locality. In 1857 he started the ice business, which is still continued by his estate. About the same time he started the first market house on this island. In 1869 he built Bartlett's market building, in which Charles Hotz con- ducted business many years.
In 1870 Mr. Bartlett succeeded John Cordery, of Absecon, as lessee of the street car system on Atlantic avenne. He paid the railroad company $500 a year each for the privi- lege of operating four cars drawn by mules over the steam car tracks, between the Inlet and the old Seaview Excursion House at the ocean end of Missouri avenue. Fares were ten cents. There were no tickets nor gongs nor any regular schedule for the cars. which had to stop when trains were on the track and which waited for loads at cither end. Fare was not exacted of local people, but visitors made that mule tramway profitable.
In 1875, when the railroad company demanded $1,000 rental for each car, Mr. Bartlett gave it up and became one of the incorporators of the Passenger Railway Company. Asso- ciated with him were Alexander Boardman, Joseph A. Barstow, Henry L. Elder. Joseph H. Borton, D. C. Spooner and Horace Whiteman. This company was organized at Schaufler's Hotel, April 13, 1874. City Council had given the new company a right, by ordinance, to lay tracks on Pacific, New Hampshire, Michigan and Ohio avenues. Tracks were laid by strategy in the night over the disputed territory between North Carolina and Massachusetts avenues. and the ties still lie buried in the street. An injunction, secured by Andrew K. Hay, stopped the work and the railroad company operated its own mule cars and later its trolley cars without ever having any franchise except for steam railroad purposes.
In 1865, Mr. Bartlett engaged in the shipbuilding business in Camden and was very
376

successful. During the war, when vessel property was very profitable, Mr. Bartlett was part owner of twenty vessels. He disposed of his interests in the shipyard in 1885.
In 1881 he erected the first large brick building in this city for a bank. Until 1887 he made Atlantic City his summer home only, continuing to live in Philadelphia.
He was the father of twelve children, all but one of whom are living.
