Description
Excerpt from Genealogical and Biographical Sketches of the Bartlett Family in England and America, 1875-6
It seemed, also, desirable to place corrected records in the hands of mem bers of the family. Sketches of portions of the Bartlett family have appeared from time to time in print. Among others may be mentioned the sketch of the Bartletts in Prof. Sanborn's recently published History of New Hamp shire, in which are some important errors. One object of these papers is to correct these various errors, which are not confined to the volume alluded to. Another object is to correct the wrong impressions prevailing in the minds of some of my correspondents.
The old story, so common before the days of genealogical investigation, of three brothers who came over, and from whom all of the name in the country have descended, is still in circulation. Some have it that the three brothers came from Scotland; others, that they came from England, and that two of them settled in Newbury, and one in Virginia; others still, that two brothers arrived here, and that one settled in Plymouth, the other in Newbury. (robert, of Plymouth, came in 1623; and John, of Newbury, and his brother, Richard, eleven years afterwards These records, it is hoped, will give a more correct idea of the state of the case.
