Misc. Notes The ancestry of Robert Bartlett is still unproven. In 1959, John G. Hunt, B.S.C., of Arlington, VA wrote an article which appeared in The American Genealogist (Volume 35, page 214). Mr. Hunt's article, entitled "Possible origin of Robert Bartlett of Plymouth" suggested that Robert Bartlett "may well have been that Robert Bartlett baptized in 1603 at Puddletown." In 1979, Paul W. Prindle, F.A.S.G,. expanded on the work originated by John Hunt. Mr. Prindle's article, which appeared in The American Genealogist (Volume 55, page 164), was entitled "The Probable Ancestry of Robert Bartlett of Plymouth". In this article Mr. Prindle identifies Robert as being the son of Robert & Alice (Barker) Bartlett, who was baptized 27 May 1603 at Puddletown, County Dorset, England. The main line of the Bartlett Family in England originated in Stopham in County Sussex. The family lived there since the days of William the Conqueror. Prior to the articles above cited, it was believed that Robert came from Sussex because the fireback, used in the house he built, was thought to have come from the Sussex Ironworks. This fireback has recently been discovered to have come from the Saugus Ironworks in Saugus, Massachusetts.
Ongoing work in England has lead to the belief that the Puddletown Bartletts are a branch of the Bartletts of Sussex. Robert Bartlett came to Plymouth Colony aboard the ship "Ann" in July 1623. Among the other passengers on this ship were his future wife, Mary Warren, daughter of Richard Warren. Richard Warren had preceded his family to New England, arriving on the "Mayflower" in 1620. Robert Bartlett and Mary Warren were married in Plymouth in 1628. The young couple built their home south of the Warren estate between Eel River and the Pine Hills. There they raised th eir family of eight children, our ancestors. Descendants of Robert Bartlett in America have long been intrigued with the prospects of digging up his roots back in England. One man's mission may soon help us along the way. Peter Bartlett was born in Sussex County, England. Now that he is retired, he intends to devote all his time to researching the Bartlett name and writing a history of the Bartlett family in England. According to Society Historian David Robertson, one interesting item, yet to be confirmed, is Peter's identification of the very first "Lords of Stopham" as Bartletts. In most accounts , the Bartletts married into the Stopham Family (whose origins are uncertain), thus gaining th e lordship of the manor. "We look forward to see what documentation Peter may unearth on our ancestors in England," said Robertson. In an excerpted letter to Robertson, Peter Bartlett writes: You may recall some of the family names that have played such a prominent and consistent part in the long history of the Bartelots/Bartletts in both Sussex and Wessex: Arundel arrived in England alongside Adam de Bartelot in 1066; was granted lands alongside th ose given to Adam de Bartelot in Sussex; became the Earls of Arundel and patrons of the Bartelots: In 1332 bequeathed property in Dorset to Robert Bartelot. De la Lynde joined to Bartelots by marriage; neighbors to Bartelots in Dorset; inherited de Bryan 7 Bartelot manor of Bryanston, Dorset; leased Muston Manor from Piddleton Bartletts an d leased Fordington Manor, Dorchester, to Bartletts. De la Warr joined to Bartelots by marriage; trustee of De la Warr estates in Dorset was Joh n Bartelot; Churchill, originally "de Curcelle," fought alongside Adam de Bartelot at Hasting s; received many land grants frequently alongside those held by the Bryans at which Bartelot s lived in Dorset and Somerset. Members of "cartel" organized by John Bartelot and Sir John Tregonwell to defraud the Crown in 16th century, lived at Dorchester and leased Muston Manor from Bartelots (after De la Lynde) until they finally purchased it in 1612 from Nathaniel Bartelot, alias Hancock.
In addition to the foregoing, there are others that figure prominently in our history right up to the present day, and with whose descendants I still correspond indeed are my cousins. These are Paul, Genge, Arnold, Kellaway, Hussey, Warren. Many marriages have taken place between Bartletts and Pauls. When we have visited England w e stay with Sir John Paul (we fought alongside in 1940), who is my cousin Both Pauls and Genges were associated with Bartletts as far back as 1500s at Piddleton, Dorset. Indeed, Thomas Genge composed and recorded an interesting Bartlett obituary in 1599, whilst Richard Genge was trustee of the Bartlett entailed trust as well as becoming my great grandfather's guardian when his parents were killed. Arnolds, Kellaways and Husseys were all neighbors to us both in Dorset and Somerset. Bartlett properties at Piddleton moved into Arnold hands after marriages between the families. Kellaway was a member of the "cartel" mentioned earlier, and the family was joined to Churchills and Tregonwells by marriage. As for the Warren family, who were wealthy merchants living at Dorchester close to the Bartelts, Robert Bartlett sailed to America with the Pilgrim Fathers on the "Anne" accompanying Elizabeth Warren and her five daughters who were joining their father, a member of the first ban d of Pilgrims on the Mayflower. Robert married young Mary Warren at New Plymouth, whilst back in England at Dorchester, John Bartlett also married a Warren girl in 1634 and then both made the voyage to America. Thus you will understand the significance of such names turning up elsewhere in history alongside that of Bartlett and Hancock
This is what did, in fact, happen on the island of Barbados and the plantations of New England. What adds to the significance of those appearances is the financial backing for settlements a t both places by the Arundels and the la Warrs, as well as the Stourton (Lord de Stourton) from whom the Bartlett family branch at Pendomer Manor, Somerset leased that property, and th e inclusion of cadet members of both those names alongside the others at both places. The first Muster Roll taken on Barbadoes in the year 1624 includes Arundels, de la Warrs, Kellaways, Churchills, Bartletts and Husseys (another associated family). Among the few who survived the battle of Sedgemoor, Somerset, were those supporting the Duke of Monmouth against th e King. Members of all those families (as well as some others that figure into our history) were defeated and slaughtered. Yet, they somehow not only survived the battle but managed to obtain instructions from the King that they not be executed (like others) but be deported to plantations over the seas. That this result could only have been achieved by help from others with influence at court is made obvious by comments made by "Hanging" Judge Jeffries who presided over their trial at Dorchester Assizes. He was not at all happy that some should have escaped his preferred punishment. There can be no question that this influence came from the Arundels, De la Warrs, Stourtons and Churchills, all of whom had supported the Stuarts and were prominent in financial circles . From later parish records it is apparent many of those I have named, including Bartletts and Hancocks, made a success of their lives and prospered in their new surroundings.
To my mind, these events including Jeffries’ judgment, are intensely interesting and add materially to what is known about our family. I am intent on making sure that those who wish to do so - and have the birthright - are aware of our family's long history and now, at last, app ear to have time to seek to fulfill that ambition .... provided, of course, I live long enough. Besides the written history, I have recorded a version on tape, but without all the schedules and lists and tables that go towards its contents and conclusions. Of course, it follows that many with the Bartlett name will not be in any way connected, but given that in 1500s there were only six families of the name in Somerset and only nine in Dorset, the proliferation that took place between then and the migrations that came later, there could well be quit e a large number. I have been surprised how frequently people referred to me turn out to be distantly related somewhere back in time. Only a short while ago a Bartlett (John, with a brother Robert, of course) got in touch and turned out to have a grandfather who died in a cottage that is and always was a part of Muston Manor, Piddleton, owned by Bartlett and sold to Churchills in 1612 In fact he still paid rent to a Churchill.
Sincerely, Peter Bartlett: 20 Gardenia Ave., Port Macquarie, N.S.W., Australia 2444.
