Biography

Joseph Bartlett I, the Emigrant, was born circa 1630 in England.1,2

Joseph Bartlett I, the Emigrant, married Mary Waite, daughter of Marshall Richard Waite II, the Emigrant, and Elizabeth Marion, on 27 October 1668 in Newton, Middlesex County, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America.3,4,1,5,6,2,7,8

Joseph Bartlett I, the Emigrant, died on 26 December 1702 in Newton, Middlesex County, Province of Massachuetts Bay, British Colonial America, at age ~72.9,10,11,6,12


Joseph Bartlett I, the Emigrant, emigrated circa 1650 from England to Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America.

The settlent was named Cambridge in 1638, then Cambridge Village was split of from Cambridge in 1688, renamed Newtown in 1691, then renamed Newton in 1766. For convenience, we will refer to all of them as Newton.

Joseph was accused of uncivil and rude carriages toward his wife and living out of his family 25 Dec 1671. He confessed. On 25 Mar - 1 Apr 1673 a suit between Joseph and John Clark over Clark's taking lumber from Joseph's land and the destruction of a frame was presented. The initial verdict was in favor of Joseph although the case was finally settled in favor of Clark. The town records state on 3 Mar 1673 that Joseph had no house and was very bad in respect to food and raiment. (BLD adds note questioning if Clark had pulled the house down.) On 12 May of the same year [1673] the town donated 4 pounds one shilling to Joseph. Joseph sold 5 acres to the town for a highway 21 May 1688, and then on 26 Jul 1695 requested his land back because he could not enjoy his farm quietly. (BLD)

p. 211 (May th 12 1673) "At A metting of the select men" "our breatheren and Neighbors haue subscribed to giue to Joseph bartlit for his Releese fower pound one shilling on the south side of the Riuer"

In 1678, Joseph Bartlett signed a petition for the separation of Cambridge Village from Cambridge. The petition was granted in 1679, at which time there were sixty-five freemen in the town. In 1691, the name of the town was changed from Cambridge Village to New Town. Thus a poor man by most accounts left his name in history and probably his only claim to fame.

p. 288 "At ameeting of the Inhabitants of Cambridge the 21 May 1688" "It was then put to Vott whether the Inhabitants would sell a peece of land on ye south sid ye Riuer of about fiue accer on the South side ye Riuer neere Joseph Bartlitts & John Clarks, and it was votted on the affirmitiue, and the Inhabitants made Choyce of the select men, with Samuell Chamne and Daniell Chamne as a Committe to sell & set a price vpon ye said land to thos that buy the same : This May : 1688" "Wee the Comitte aboue entioned in pursuance of the aboue Written Vott, haue bargained and sould, the aboue mentioned land vnto the aboue Adjacent Joseph Bartlet his heires and affignes, for foure pound tenn shillings in money, a high way excepted of foure rode wide whose westerly side bounds vpon Capt Noah wiswells land, which when the Country high way is taken out the prsell of land sould him will Conteine about foure accer. be it more or less, and being bounded on the East with John Clark and Joseph Bartlets lands, about southeast with Cap Wiswll to a white Oake, and from that white oake it is bounded about South west, and the rest of the Country high way about west, and the rest of the peece of land is bounded with a high way * Cap.

Newton, Massachusetts, was settled in 1630 as part of "the newe towne", which was renamed Cambridge in 1638. It was incorporated as a separate town, known as Cambridge Village, in 1688, then renamed Newtown in 1691, and finally Newton in 1766.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

Hibner, Aldis Everard. A genealogy of the descendants of Joseph Bartlett of Newton, Mass. for seven generations. (Rutland, Vt.: Tuttle Co., 1934), page 3: Joseph Bartlett b. abt. 1630 based on deposition in Dec 1681, d. 26 Dec 1702. The first record of Joseph Bartlett is his marriage Cambridge 27 Oct 1668 to Mary Waite.

See also the: Cambridge, MA, Vital Records; Newton, MA, Vital Records, Southborough, MA, Vital Records; Groton, MA, Vital Records.

Joseph Bartlett came from England. Despite the fact that some Ancestral File & IGI submissions indicate that he may have been the son of a Richard Bartlett of Plymouth, MA, there is no confirmation of this, and in fact, it appears that he came directly from England and not from Richard Bartlett. The book cited above gives his wife as Mary Waite (Wayte) and that is also confirmed in the Cambridge, MA Vital Records. (Newton, MA was originally a part of Cambridge, known as Cambridge Meadows, until it separated from that town and changed its name to Newton.) Joseph married Mary Wayte on Oct. 27, 1668. The Cambridge and Newton Vital Records list the births of their children as shown in the family group record in our PAF file. This couple had six children born in the Newton community—four daughters and two sons: Joseph [Jr.] & John. Their children seemed to have remained in the Newton area. (We will not give a full account of each of their children in this brief overview; see the PAF family group records for all of their family. However, here we will list only our direct ancestors for each succeeding generation.)13

RESEARCH NOTE - JOSEPH BARTLETT is NOT the son of ROBERT BARTLETT who came on the Mayflower! Information below on RobertBartlett is included in this data base as unconnected information and as possible connection information in ENGLAND.

ROBERT BARTLETT, Born May 27, 1601, at All Saints Parish, Northampton, England, died Nov. 5, 1688 in Manomet, Plymouth Co. MA. He married Mary Warren born before 1605 in England, died July 3, 1676 Plymouth, Plymouth Co., MA. The daughter of Richard Warren, born at St. Leonards, London in 1580, died 1627/28 Plymouth, MA. Richard married before 1604 an Elizabeth born ca. 1583, died Oct. 22, 1673 Plymouth. Richard Warren came to America on the "Mayflower" and his wife and daughter came on the ship "Anne" in 1623 upon which they met Robert Bartlett. He married Mary in 1628 and built their home on the Eel River on and acre of land he received in the division of land on May 22, 1627.

In the division of cattle at that time, Robert and twelve others drew the tenth lot which was a "heyfer of the last yeare called the white belyd heyfer and two shee goats." Robert served as a member of the grand jury and several terms as surveyor of highways.

In the Register of the Society of Colonial Wars 1899-1902, it states Robert served in Captain Myles Standish's Company in 1632.

JOSEPH BARTLETT, born Feb. 15, 1646, Newton, MA, died Dec. 26, 1702, Cambridge Village, Newton, Middlesex, Co., MA. [CAVEAT: THIS IS NOT "OUR" JOSEPH BARTLETT WHO WAS BORN c. 1630 IN ENGLAND AND WHO EMIGRATED TO AMERICA IN ABOUT 1650 AND WHO DID MARRY MARY WAITE.]

Joseph Bartlett married Oct. 27, 1668, Cambridge Village, Mary Waite, b. Feb. 15, 1646, Newton, died Dec. 21, 1721, Newton, the daughter of Richard Waite (Weyte), born Apr. 10, 1604, Alford, Lincolinshire, England, died Sep. 17, 1680, Boston Suffolk Co., MA, married 1635, Boston, Elizabethe ?---, b. ca. 1615/16, Newbury, Essex, MA, died 1651 Newbury, MA.

Joseph had many problems both with his family and with his land. Middlesex Co. Court files show a case brought against him in Dec. 1671 to be heard in Apr. 1672, in which he confessed to "uncivil and rude carriages toward his family and wife and living out of his family day and night to ye great disgrace thereof." He is recorded as being a poor man and of receiving help from the Selectmen of Cambridge of Five Pounds to build a house. He received Four Pounds, one Shilling to buy land on the South side of the river. Later Court records show he had his barn torn down by a neighbor, and the lumber and a load of bark hauled away. He won his case but lost all on appeal. Still later he had to mortgage his land. Once land was bought from the Town but a few years later he sold it back to the Town because he could not "enjoy it quietly." Thus are examples of the life of this ancestor.

A note of interest: In 1678, Joseph Bartlett signed a petition for the separation of Cambridge Village from Cambridge. The petition was granted in 1679, at which time there were sixty-five freemen in the town. In 1691, the name of the town was changed from Cambridge Village to New Town.

BARTLETT-FAM ORIGINS, 1600-1800's , New England of America, particularly the Maine families

The following is a transcription of a notebook in the possession of Steven Ethridge Winston Kenney, deceased, of Raleigh, N.C. Mr. Kenney was the nephew and adopted son of Mrs. Rose Kenney Winston. Mr. Kenney gave me his permission to use this material in a family history. ----- Lynn Hopewell, Warrenton, VA, 2001 .

ORIGIN OF THE BARTLETTS
Arranged by George D. Bartlett for Mrs. Rose Kenney Winston, granddaughter of Captain Steven Kenney and Sophie Bartlett, from material gathered by Flora Bartlett Philoon from information that she received from Dr. Silas Bartlett of East Dixfield, Maine. Dr. Bartlett spent a good deal of time in a careful study of the history of the family.

"On the invasion of England by the Normans, there came William, the Conquer or William of Normandy, a mighty man of valor by the name of Adam Bartelotte or Bartelote who helped conquer England. He took a share of land as his part of the booty. On this he afterward lived. It was a large possession bringing enough for him and his children for a long time. The estate is kept together to this day. The present owner being a member of Parliament".

The Bartlett Coat of Arms was originally three pendant or hanging left-hand falconer's gloves, the same Coat of Arms that the Bartlett's all have had to the first Bartlett who came to Massachusetts and on to the present times. All who have preserved their Coat of Arms have had the same. This fact, and the similarity of the names established beyond a doubt that the derivation of the name Bartlett from Bartelotte. The first Bartlett to come to Massachusetts was Robert, who landed at Plymouth in 1623. Those who followed him the year 1623 to 1684 all had the same Coat of Arms.

It is a well established fact that Joseph Bartlett [Sr.] married to Mary Wait in 1668. He bought land and settled in Newton, Mass. Ten children were born to this family, five girls and five boys. Of these, the name of but one is known, Joseph Bartlett, Jr. This son had a large family. One of his sons, by the name of Ebenezer, occupied the old homestead in Newton. He had 16 children - of these six sons and a number of daughters came to Bethel, Maine, and settled there and in the adjoining towns. This Ebenezer was born about 1705 and his son Steven about 1765. This would make Steven the grandson of Joseph Bartlett, Jr. and great grandson of the first Joseph [Sr.] who came from England and married Mary Wait in 1668. He was the fifth of the six sons from Ebenezer Bartlett. All of whom came to Bethel, Maine from Newton, Mass.



JOSEPH BARTLETT, of Cambridge Village (now Newton), MA, married Mary Waite. He d. 26 Dec 1702 and his widow d. 21 Dec 1721. They had:
1. Mary, b. 17 Feb 1672.
2. Joseph [Jr.], a twin, b. 5 Mar 1673. He married first, Hannah _______ who d. Dec 1730. He married second 1732, Mercy Hyde, who died two years later. Joseph d. June 1750. He had:

.....c. Elizabeth, b. 8 Mar 1709 and d. the next year.
.....d. Joseph, b. 8 Apr 1703.
.....e. Ebenezer, perhaps his son.
3. Mary, the other twin, b. 5 Mar 1673.
4. Elizabeth, b. 5 Feb1677. She perhaps married James Prentiss.

Joseph Bartlett - Descendants of Richard Waite and Margaret Carter

Source: EXTRACTED FROM A WORK ON THE WAITE GENEALOGY FOUND AT: http://www.waitegenealogy.org/FGS/waitecarter.pdf

Joseph's birth date was calculated from a deposition dated Dec 1681 in Middlesex Co., MA. He resided in Cambridge which is now part of Newton. "He emigrated from England about 1650 and removed from Cambridge to Newton 1678." (BLD)

Joseph was accused of uncivil and rude carriages toward his wife and living out of his family 25 Dec 1671. He confessed. On 25 Mar - 1 Apr 1673 a suit between Joseph and John Clark over Clark's taking lumber from Joseph's land and the destruction of a frame was presented. The initial verdict was in favor of Joseph although the case was finally settled in favor of Clark. The town records state on 3 Mar 1673 that Joseph had no house and was very bad in respect to food and raiment. (BLD adds note questioning if Clark had pulled the house down.) On 12 May of the same year [1673] the town donated 4 pounds one shilling to Joseph. Joseph sold 5 acres to the town for a highway 21 May 1688, and then on 26 Jul 1695 requested his land back because he could not enjoy his farm quietly. (BLD)

"The cellar hole of his dwelling house is still visible upon the side of the hill, occupied by the Baptist Theological Seminary, and about ninety rods south-east of the new Rail Road Station, at Newton Centre. In 1675, he mortgaged his dwelling house, and four acres of land, to Thomas Prentice, Sen.; Neal McDaniel was witness." (HSNM)

Joseph Bartlett's land bordered on the north the property of John Clark, who died in 1695. County Court Records show that Joseph Bartlett sued him for pulling down a frame house, and was awarded 1£ 14s. He was listed as the 27th settler in Newton, in 1673, from Cambridge (sic). Either Joseph or his son Joseph, Jr., was one of several Newton inhabitants who failed to record the deeds of their farms. Signed a petition, dated 1678, to the Deputy Governor and the Magistrates in Boston, requesting their freedom from Cambridge and its taxes and the establishment of their own township. This was signed by most of the freemen of Newton (at the time, Cambridge Village).

1/1/1700 - the Selectmen of Newton decreed that a school be built on the road next to Joseph Bartlett's. John Clark owned land "on the easterly side of the Dedham Road, at the training field adjoining Joseph Bartlett's"

1675 - mortgaged his house and 4 acres to Thomas Prentice

1673 - moved to Newton from Cambridge

1678 - signed a petition to the Governor, Deputy Governor, and Magistrates in Boston requesting that Cambridge Village (which became Newton in 1691) be separated from Cambridge. The petition was granted.

Biography

Robert Bartlett was born circa 1612 in England.2

Robert Bartlett married Ann Unknown before 1637 in Hartford, Hartford County, Connecticut Colony, British Colonial America.3,4

Robert Bartlett died on 14 March 1676 in Northampton, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, at age ~64. During King Philip's War, he was slain 14 March 1675/6, by Indians, when they broke through the palisades and raided the village of Northampton. The main attack by the Indians upon Northampton was when the Indians assaulted three sides of the stockade at the same time in the early part of the day. Had it not been for the fact that the settlers had most valuable assistance from a company of troops then garrisoned within the town, it would have been completely destroyed and the settlers all massacred or some of them carried away into capacity among the Indians and their French allies in Canada. As it was, the Indians broke the stockade near the home of Robert & Ann Bartlett and killed 5 men, but were finally driven out and retreated without further damage. Robert was slain by the Indians and was buried in the Public Highway very near the spot where he fell for the reason it was said that it was not thought safe to carry his body to the cemetery.3,1,4 His estate was probated on 29 October 1676 WILL proved 29 Oct. 1676.


Robert Bartlett emigrated in 1632 from England to British Colonial America on the ship Lion. He was unmarried.1 His location for the first few years is clouded. Some early researchers believed that he lived in Newtown (Cambridge) with many of the other passengers of the LION. However, he does not appear on the lists of inhabitants of 1633 nor in 1635 in 'The History of Cambridge' as the other passengers do.1 He lived in 1639 in Hartford, Hartford County, Connecticut. The first documentation of him is in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1639 when his land is listed in the Hartford Land Records. (His name appears on the Monument to the Original Proprietors in the Center Church Cemetery.)
.5 He lived between 1655 and 1676 in Northampton, Hampshire County, Massachusetts. He and his family moved up the Connecticut River to Northampton, Massachusetts, because of a split in the First Church of Hartford. He was named Constable in 1655, Selectman in 1658-1663, and Juryman in 1659.3 He lived in 1658 in Northampton, Hampshire County, Massachusetts.6 He was buried in Northampton, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, in the highway in front of his lot, on (or near) the old jail lot. At the time of his burial it was not considered safe to go to the burying ground to dig a grave and bury his body.3

Biography

Marshall Richard Waite II, the Emigrant, was born circa 1597 in England. Some genealogies erroneously give his middle name as Marshall, but that was actually a title; he was later Marshall of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.2

Marshall Richard Waite II, the Emigrant, married Elizabeth Marion, daughter of Isaac Marion and Rebecca Knight, circa 1636 in Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America.3,1,4,2 Marshall Richard Waite II, the Emigrant, married Rebecca Hepburne, daughter of George Hepburne, circa 1653.1,5,2,3

Marshall Richard Waite II, the Emigrant, died on 17 September 1680 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America, at age ~83.6,7,8,9,1,10,2 He was buried in Kings Chapel Burial Grounds, Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America. Inscrption: Here lyeth buried the body of Richard Waite aged 84 years deceased the 17 day of September 1680.1,11,10
Marshall Richard Waite II, the Emigrant, was also known as Richard Wayte. Marshall Richard Waite II, the Emigrant, was also known as Richard Wayt. Marshall Richard Waite II, the Emigrant, was also known as Richard Wait. He was christened on 10 April 1604 in Rigsby with Ailby, Lincolnshire, England.1,10,12,2

Marshall Richard Waite II, the Emigrant, emigrated before 1634 from England to Massachusetts Bay Colony on the ship Elizabeth & Anne Source: The Planters of the Commonwealth, by Charles Edward Banks, Genealogical Publishing Co., 1930, 1635, page 154, ELIZABETH AND ANNE, Roger Cooper, Master. She sailed about the middle of May and arrived at Boston in Midsummer, with one hundred and two passengers. [Public Record Office MSS., and Drake: FOUNDERS, 20, 22, 24, 27,28,29,30.], page 157, RICHARD WHITE 30 carpenter [to] Sudbury.

It is possible that Richard Wait arrived in Boston on the Griffin on September 4, 1633. Richard’s brother, Gamaliel, was a servant to Edward Hutchinson, and his wife Sarah, and they were thought to have been on this ship (as was John Cotton). Edward Hutchinson became a member of the First Church in October of 1633. Gamaliel Wait and Sarah Hutchinson became church members on December 15, 1633. Anne Marbury Hutchinson, the sister-in-law of Edward, arrived with her husband William, also on the Griffin, in 1634. Thomas Wait, younger brother of Richard and Gamaliel, followed Anne Hutchinson to Portsmouth, RI, in 1639.6,1 He lived in 1634 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America.6,1

The Confession and Trial of Richard, Wayte, Boston, 1640; James F. Cooper; William and Mary Quarterly, vol., 44, 1987.
Richard Wait joined the Boston church on August 28, 1634. He was disarmed as an adherent of Anne Marbury Hutchinson in 1637, and was excommunicated from the church for stealing leather (enough to make three pairs of men’s gloves) on January 13, 1638/39. He approached the church for reinstatement in the spring of 1640, and was readmitted on May 4, 1640. Shortly thereafter, on July 20, 1640, he was excommunicated a second time for having drunk wine instead of attending church, at times with the servant of one of his fellow church members. Wait was readmitted to the church in 1641 after acknowledging that he had previously lied about his drinking. Nearly 30 years later [about 1670] he was excommunicated a third time for "habitual" drunkenness. Once again he was reinstated following a confession.

Marshall Richard Waite II, the Emigrant, became a Freeman in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America, on 9 March 1636/37.1

His wife, Elizabeth, died circa 1652 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America, at age ~44, leaving him a widower.1,2



Being Marshall of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, he was appointed "commissary of the horse" against the Narragansett Indians, 1654, commissary in the Pequot War, and received 300 acres for his services, 1658. He was a tailor.6,1

Marshall Richard Waite II, the Emigrant, left a will dated 6 January 1679 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America. He left his property to "my beloved wife Rebeckah Waite, [my sons] Return Waite, Richard Waite and John Waite and my daughter Abigail Jones. He named "my brother Gamaliel Waite and my brother's son John Waite" as Executors of his will.13,1

The inventory of his estate was taken on 18 October 1680 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America.
