Capt. Samuel M. Bartlett

Parents
Biography
Capt. Samuel M. Bartlett was born on 24 January 1774 in Leverett, Franklin County, Massachusetts. Note: According to Corbin III, Samuel M. Bartlett died 20 March 1855 at age 81, so he would have been born in about 1774. The 1850 census states that he was born in Massachusetts and was age 76, so he would have been born in about 1774. The 1903 death record of his daughter Louisa Bartlett Marsh gives his place of birth as Amherst, Massachusetts. The History of Leverett, MA, says that he was born in Leverett. James Avery Smith gives his date of birth as 24 January 1774 and his birth place as Leverett, Massachusetts. [Note: The Samuel Bartlett born on 15 April 1774 in Conway, Franklin County, Massachusetts, and who died in 1845 is his first cousin, once removed.].

3 Name Origins
by Julie Helen Otto
ADONIRAM (m): In Hebrew, the approximate meaning is “My Lord is exalted.”
Adoniram, son of Abda, appears in a personnel list of Solomon’s officials in 1 Kings 4:6, and is an overseer of tribute, or conscript, crews for building the Temple and other projects. An early bearer of the name in New England was
Adoniram Treadwell, b. Woodbury, Conn. 14 January 1700. The name became very popular early in the nineteenth century in tribute to
Rev. Adoniram Judson (1788-1850), a native of Malden, Mass. (If your ancestor is Adoniram J., the “J.” is very likely “Judson”). This name was often abbreviated as NIRAM, as in the case of
Niram Blackman (1762-1812) of Brookfield, Connecticut.
Adoniram Bartlett, Jr., and
Anna Bartlett appeared on the census of 1810 in Brookfield, Worcester County, Massachusetts.
4 He was a stone mason.

Josiah Closson
M, #7425, b. 1655, d. 13 February 1699
Parents
Biography
Josiah Closson was born in 1655 in Little Compton, Newport County, Rhode Island (Massachusetts until 1747). BIRTH: FHL Fiche #60469,12 Rhode Island Vital Records 1636-1850, Vol. 4, Little Compton Births and Deaths, page 106, 23 CLOSSON, Josiah, ______, 1655.
Josiah Closson married
Mary Williamson on 10 March 1679 in Marshfield, Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts, British Colonial America.
Josiah Closson died on 13 February 1699 in Little Compton, Newport County, Rhode Island (Massachusetts until 1747), at age ~44. He was buried on 15 February 1699 in Little Compton, Newport County, Rhode Island (Massachusetts until 1747).
JOSIAH CLOSSON was born about 1655 probably in New England. [Note: Surname is a variant of Close, a topographic name for someone who lived by an enclosure of some sort, such as a courtyard in town or a farmyard in the country, originally from Late Latin clausum, past participle of claudere (to close, shut).]
Various family traditions indicate another generation in America before Josiah. The names of Alfred and Eleazeer and another brother who came from England have been mentioned. It has been supposed that his parents were Daniel Closson, who died, 2 July 1702, and his wife Elizabeth Closson, who died, 6 Dec. 1705, according to the Triverton, Rhode Island records however, the name, Daniel, does not appear again in the early generations of the family.
The first record of Josiah Closson is found in the records of the town of Woburn, Massachusetts, 24 Jun 1676, and the journal of John Hull, Treasurer of War for the colony. (The name was spelled Clarson, Clopson, or Cloyson). He was a soldier in King Philip’s war from the town of Woburn serving under Capt. Joseph Syll and garrisoned at Chelmsford, however he was not a citizen of the town when he was enlisted. This means that he was probably a servant or hired laborer at the time. It was the custom at the time for the towns to assess the payment of their own soldiers to the families left at home. Josiah was about 21 years old at the time and not married, so the question arises: In who’s interest did Josiah “Clarson” assign his wages to in the town of Woburn?
There were 140 male citizens in Woburn when the War began. In Dec. 1675, 13 soldiers were “pressed” from Woburn and three more on 22 Mar. 1676. Later Woburn furnished 45 others. Of the 61 persons enlisted from Worburn 14 (Peter and John Bateman, Chamberlain, Clopson, Coddington, Crisp, Fletcher, Hood, the 2 Parkers, Roberts, Simpson, Wallis and Wilkinson) were probably not citizens of Woburn when the War began but were servants or hired laborers who were persuaded to enlist for the town. Of these, Clopson, Roberts, Wallis and Wilkinson returned and were taxed in Woburn after the War had ended.
Josiah did not stay in Woburn long as the Marshfield, Massachusetts, records show that he married Mary Williamson there on 10 Mar 1678/1679. She was born 7 Jul 1654, the daughter of Timothy Williamson and Mary Howland. We do not know why Josiah went to Marshfield unless he met Capt. Timothy Williamson during the war. A daughter (Martha?) was born to Josiah and Mary, 1 Dec 1679 and their son, Timothy, 5 Jan 1680/1.
Col. Benjamin Church, the leader of the Plymouth forces in King Philip’s War, owned land and had started to build a home in Little Compton before the War broke out. After the War Col. Church returned to Little Compton and continued the settlement. His associates were residents of Marshfield and Duxbury and it was natural that Josiah should follow his famous leader there. Thus, we find that
Josiah had moved to Little Compton by 1682 when the town was incorporated and opened for settlers. His second son, Nehemiah, was born there, 1 Feb. 1682/3. The “Grate Lots” or the main part of the town were given to the incorporators so he purchased several of the “15 acre lots” of which each of the proprietors drew one. He lived in the Quicksand Ponds area in the southeast part of Little Compton.
In 1682 a decree was issued to the Elders of the Colony churches to take turns and visit Seaconett (Little Compton) for the preaching of the word of God. The next year the Plymouth Court directed the town to raise £15. For the support of the Minister. The people held a town meeting and sent word to the Court that they would not raise the money. In Oct. 1685 the Court issued a peremptory order, thus: “To the Constable of Little Compton. Whereas the Town of Little Compton has – manifest their refusal of obedience not only in neglect but contempt – You are then, in his Majesty’s name, required to summon the inhabitants of your town personally to appear at his Majesty’s Court at Plymouth March next then and there to appear to answer the Contempt aforesaid.” Josiah Closson was serving as constable at this time. The town was fined £20 for neglect and contempt. The fine was paid.
Deeds recorded at Taunton, Bristol Co. Mass.:
·23 Nov 1694 – Matthew Howard of Little Compton for £6. New England money sells to Josiah Clauson of Little Compton land there east of Cole Brook Line, ½ part of a share formerly belonging to Josiah Cooke of Eastham.
·31 Dec 1694 – Peter Taylor of Newport, Rhode Island, Cordwainer, for £7. 6s sells to Josiah Clauson of Little Compton, husbandman, 1/4 of a whole part or share in Little Compton lying east to the Cole Brook Line.
·23 Dec. 1695 – William Southworth of Little Compton, Yeoman, for £23. New England money, sells to Josiah Clauson lot No. 19 (10A) among the Ten Acre Lots at Coxet River and ½ meadow lot at Coxet River in Little Compton.
All of the above deeds recorded 10 Jan. 1699/1700.
Josiah died intestate, 13 Feb. 1698/9, at 44 years of age. The Court appointed his widow Mary Clawson Administrix.
Inventory of the Estate dated 6 Mar. 1698/9 – £77. 15s 00d.
Debts owed by the deceased exibited 10 July 1700. – £10. 01s 05d.
·Land as follows:
1 whole meadow lot on Barkere Neck No. 16 2 ½ acres
1 whole 10 acre lot No. 19 10 acres
½ of 15 acre lot No. 32 7 ½ acres
½ of 10 acre lot No. 34 5 acres
½ of 20 acre lot No. 14 10 acres
½ of 4 acre lot No. 13 2 acres
Total 37 acres
Under the law of Inheritance all children are in one degree but the eldest son has an acknowledgment for his seniority of birth, which generally amounted to a double portion. The homestead appears to have remained intact for the widowed mother’s use until after her death between 1721 and 1726 when distribution was made. Josiah Closson had 8 children, all were miners at the time of his death. However, when distribution of the estate was made after Mary’s death the estate seems to have been divided into seven parts, two for Timothy and one each for the other five children. As there is no further record of the first daughter or of the youngest son, Josiah Jr., it is believed they died either before Josiah’s death or at least before the distribution was made after their mother’s death.

1.(a daughter) Closson, born 1679, at Marshfield, Plymouth, Massachusetts. Died young.
2.Timothy Closson, born 5 Jan 1680/1, at Marshfield, Plymouth, Massachusetts; married about 1704, Martha Wilbore, daughter of Joseph Wilbore and Ann Brownell.
