Caleb Bartlett¹

M, #8982, b. 17 November 1716, d. 23 August 1785

Parents

Father	John Bartlett, Sr. (b. 12 July 1676, d. 9 December 1721)
Mother	Patience Cady (b. 1687, d. after 1726)

Family: Abigail Shattuck

Son	Nicholas Bartlett+ (b. 1747, d. 1836)

Biography

Caleb Bartlett was born on 17 November 1716 in Newton, Middlesex County, Province of Massachuetts Bay (Massachusetts), British Colonial America.^2,3,4,5

Caleb Bartlett married Elizabeth Shattuck on 20 June 1738 in Whatley, Franklin County, Province of Massachuetts Bay, British Colonial America.⁶

Caleb Bartlett married Abigail Shattuck, daughter of John Shattuck, on 30 June 1738 in Southborough, Worcester County, Massachusetts.^7,8

Caleb Bartlett died on 23 August 1785 in Shirley, Middlesex County, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America, at age 68.⁶ He was buried in North Hadley Cemetery, Hadley, Hampshire County, Province of Massachuetts Bay (Massachusetts), British Colonial America.⁹

Caleb Bartlett lived between 1739 and 1747 in Shirley, Middlesex County, Massachusetts.

Caleb Bartlett, the youngest son of John & Patience Bartlett was born in Newton, MA on 17 Nov. 1716. While most of the children of John & Patience remained in or near Newton, Caleb disappeared from those records early and was not heard of again in Newton. However, he showed up in Southborough, Worcester County, MA, where he married Abigail Shattuck on 30 June 1738 (Southborough, MA Vital Records). We are not absolutely sure of the names of her parents at this time, but the only other record in Southborough for any Shattucks was a record of the death of “Mary Shuttuck, widow of John” on 4 June, 1760 in Southborough. We feel confident that this “John Shuttuck” was Abigail’s father, but his wife, Mary, could have been a second wife and not necessarily the mother of Abigail.

Shortly after Caleb’s marriage he seems to have moved to Shirley, MA, where his two living brothers (Nicholas & William) had previously moved. He is listed as the owner of a home in Shirley in 1742 in “Shirley Uplands and Intervals”. He was still there on 1 Mar. 1747 when he signed his name to a petition to separate the town of Groton from Shirley at that time (see: Farwell Ancestral Memorial: Henry Farwell of Concord and Chelmsford, Mass and all his Descendant, by David Parsons Holtan. N.Y. D.P. Holton. 1879; and also Gazetteer of Hampshire Co., MA. By W.B. Gay, Syracuse, N.Y. W.B. Gay & Co. 1879. See also, History of Hadley by Sylvester Judd, Springfield, MA. H.R. Huntting & Co., 1905).

This date (1747) is critical as our next ancestor (Nicholas Bartlett, the son of this Caleb) says in his Revolutionary War Pension application (completed in 1832 in Onondaga Co., NY) that he was born in Groton in 1747, which works well since we know that his father, Caleb, was living there at that time. Additionally, we know the children of Caleb’s two brothers, Nicholas and William and they do not include a Nicholas who was born in 1747. In fact, Caleb’s oldest brother, Nicholas, died in 1743 in Groton; and the other brother, William, who had the births of all his children recorded in the records of Shirley, MA, had a daughter named Joanna, born 17 Feb. 1747 in Shirley, and no record of any son “Nicholas”, either in that year, or at any time. This confirms that our Nicholas, then, was the son of Caleb Bartlett of Groton, MA in 1747.

Caleb then disappears from the records again. By this time he probably had several children, but no record for the births of any of them has survived. He seems to have migrated westward to Amherst, MA, probably about 1750, and thereafter removed to Hadley, MA where he remained for the rest of his life. There is a note in Judd’s History of Hadley that says “Caleb Bartlett came from Amherst in 1755, and had the care of the farm of the widow of Capt. Moses Porter a few years. He afterwards built a house, which is still standing (in 1863) a little north of that of Deacon Jason Stockbridge. David Stockbridge, an enterprising man, came in 1779, and lived in the house of his father-in-law, Caleb Bartlett. Deacon Jason Stockbridge was born 1780 in the house built by Caleb Bartlett.”

Caleb Bartlett appears on a list of inhabitants with a valuation of 52 pounds, 3 shillings, 2 pence with two persons (“polls” – adults) in 1770. (See History of Hadley: Including the Early History of Hatfield, South Hadley, Amherst and Granby, MA by Sylvester Judd. Springfield, MA. H.R. Huntting & Co., 1905, pp 424-425.)

Caleb had a daughter named “Patience” (named after his mother). She married David Stockbridge. They lived in Whatley, Franklin County, MA for a while but then mostly lived in Hadley, Hampshire Co., MA. This Patience and our Nicholas are the only two children we know of for Caleb and Abigail Bartlett, but they surely had others.

Matthew Clesson, Sr., was active in civil and military affairs; was in the frontier service under Capt. Kellogg at the age of 19 [in about 1732]; was one of the party under Sergt. Hawks which escorted home the French Lieut. Pierre Raimbault St. Blein in 1746. The next year he led a scout toward Canada.² Matthew Clesson, son of Joseph, who was born in 1713 was "prominent in civil and military affairs and was in the frontier service under Captain Kellogg at the age of 19" (Clesson Genealogy).

Several stories are told in local annals of the intrepid daring of this Matthew Clesson and it is evident also that he was one of the prominent men of his day in the Connecticut Valley.⁵
