Biography

This profile is part of the Bartlett Name Study.

Benjamin Bartlet was born on 20 Aug 1753 in Guilford, New Haven County, Connecticut Colony. His parents were Ebenezer Bartlet (1728 - 1817) and Anna (Field) Bartlet (1731 - 1754).^[1] Guilford as his place of birth likely more specifically refers to the part of Guilford known as East Guilford, which became present-day Madison in 1826.

According to Families of Early Guilford, Connecticut, Benjamin married Anna Dowd (recorded as Anne in birth records of those of their children who were born in Vermont). The Dowd surname for various members of her family may alternatively be seen spelled as Doud or Doude. No record of the marriage of Benjamin and Anne has thus far been identified but it may have occurred in about 1773--if Mindwell was their eldest child--when Benjamin would have been about 20 years old.

Quite a few Ancestry family trees mistakenly allege that the Benjamin of this profile was married to Ruth Post. They often also mistakenly place this Benjamin's daughter, Mindwell (Bartlett) Billings (c 1774 Connecticut - 12 May 1833 buried Jericho, Chittenden County, Vermont) as a daughter of that Benjamin and Ruth (Post) Bartlett. However, the Benjamin who married Ruth Post was a different Benjamin Bartlet (7 Feb 1740 – 4 Feb 1783). That Benjamin's father was Ebenezer Bartlett (1702 – 1775), and that Benjamin was a great-grandson of the immigrant George Bartlett (c 1620 - 1669). His mother was Deborah (Cruttenden) Bartlett (1705 – 1787). It was that Benjamin who married Ruth Post (1743 – 1810) on 18 Aug 1768, in Guilford, New Haven, Connecticut Colony. They remained in the Guilford area where that Benjamin died on 4 Feb 1783, at the age of 42. His Find a Grave memorial appears in the North Madison West Side Cemetery, North Madison, New Haven, Connecticut.^[2] There were two Bartlett families of early Guilford, Connecticut, and they descended from different immigrant ancestors. No familial relationship has as yet been established between the two Bartlett families of Guilford. A descendant of immigrant George Bartlett has taken a FamilyTreeDNA Y-DNA test and has enrolled in its Bartlett Project. However, no descendant of the other, decades later immigrant, William Bartlett (c 1671 - 1741), has been identified in the FamilyTreeDNA.com Bartlett Project at https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/bartlettdna/about as having taken a Y-DNA test, so no comparison has as yet been able to be made.

It appears that by or before Mar 1779, Benjamin had located to Arlington, Bennington County, Vermont (that county having been created 17 Mar 1778). On 15 Mar 1779, in Arlington, Vermont, Benjamin's father Ebenezer Bartlet certified that he had bought land there. Ebenezer specified "...the said John Fasset has this Day given a Deed of to my Son Benja Bartlet..."^[3]

It is at present unclear when it occurred but by or before 1787, Benjamin located to Jericho, Chittenden County, Vermont. Benjamin and Anne's twin daughters, Delana and Christiana, were recorded as having been born in Jericho in Nov 1787. Jerico had been chartered on 7 Jun 1763 as one of the New Hampshire Grants issued by Governor Benning Wentworth of New Hampshire. However, no one with a Bartlett surname appeared on the list of the grantees at that time.^[4] In those early years, the name of the town was spelled Jerico, both in the charter and for a number of years in the town records.^[5] However, it has been said that many of the early settlers came to the Jericho area from Connecticut. Indeed, Chittenden County, which was founded in 1787, was named after Thomas Chittenden (1730 - 1797), who was Vermont's first governor. Like Benjamin, Thomas Chittenden was born in Guilford, New Haven County, Connecticut, and by his marriage to Elizabeth (Meigs) Chittenden (1732-1817), Thomas was a second cousin once removed to Benjamin (they may have been interrelated or their families intertwined in other ways as well). Vermont itself was not admitted to the Union until 1791, due to persistent land and legal disputes with New Hampshire and New York.

For many years colonies in the northeast, especially New Hampshire and New York, disputed control of the area now called Vermont. [The name comes from the 1647 map made by French explorer Samuel de Champlain, on which he labeled the Green Mountains of Vermont “Verd Mont” (green mountain).] Settlers who held land titles granted by New Hampshire and New York were harassed by the many squatters who had taken up residence in the area.

The squatters, led by Ethan Allen and members of his extended family, and calling themselves “Green Mountain Boys,” were instrumental in resisting New York’s attempts to control the territory, over which it had won de jure control in a territorial dispute with New Hampshire.

When the American Revolution broke out, Ethan Allen and his “Green Mountain Boys” helped win independence from Britain, and then worked on winning independence from the other states.^[6]

In a biographical sketch about Benjamin's brother, Billy Bartlett, it was said that in about 1794 ..."he [Billy], his wife Salina Blatchley, Capt. Ben Bartlett, Eben Bartlett, Mindwell Bartlett, wife of Moses Billings, and the latter came from Guilford, Conn., or thereabouts, and took up land in Jericho." This year (1794) would not be accurate as an approximate immigration year, other than perhaps for Billy, as the others had already located to Vermont. Benjamin and Eben had not located directly from Connecticut to Jericho in any case. And Mindwell was recorded as having married Moses Billings in 1790 in Jericho.

In Jericho, Benjamin was a participant in town and church affairs. There were a number of references to him in The History of Jericho, Vermont, published in 1916.^[7] Note that Benjamin would most likely have been a Congregational church member. Prior to the 1791 founding of the First Congregational Church (also called Jericho Center Church) in Jericho. " Nine persons united to form the first Congregational Church, March 31, 1791. Rev. Ebenezer KINGSBURY became pastor of this church soon after its organization, and remained such until May 17, 1808. Meetings were held in private houses until 1797, when the first meeting-house, a large wooden structure, was built in the middle of the "Green," around which the village of Jericho Center now stands. This house was demolished in 1835, and the "Brick Church," now standing on the north side of the "Green," took its place. In 1878 this house was thoroughly repaired and extensive changes were made in the interior."^[8] In 1980, the First Congregational Church merged with Second Congregational Church (or Jericho Corner Church or Church at Jericho Corner) to form the Congregational Church, UCC (United Congregational Church); extant as Jericho Congregational Church, UCC in 1996.

At a town meeting held September 1787, it was voted "That the dwelling house of Ben Bartlet be the place for holding town meetings for the future, and that the bridge by Jedediah Lane's be a town bridge."

"Nov. 14, 1791, Voted to meet for public worship at Elon Lee's the ensuing winter." April 16, 1792, "Voted that we meet for public worship at Lewis Chapin's bam the ensuing summer." At the annual town meeting held March 4, 1793, "Voted to meet for public worship at Elon Lee's in cold weather, and Wm. Smith's barn in warm weather for one year from this date." October 2, 1794, "Voted to meet for public worship at the school house at the river one-half of the time, the other half at the school house by Wm. Bartlett's the winter coming." Nov. 18, 1795, "Voted to meet for public worship at the dwelling house" — (here the record omits the name.) Oct. 2, 1794, a town meeting was called for the purpose of providing for the building of a meeting house, at which it was 1st. "Voted to; build a meeting house." 2nd. Voted that every man write his place for a meeting house and put it into a hat — Tryed — counted — twenty, by the burying place, eighteen, the flat between Lewis Chapin's and Wm. Rood's, one, between Azariah Lee's and Wm. Rood's. "Chose a committee of five to set a stake for a meeting house, viz.: Noah Chittenden, John Lyman, Dudley Stone, Jedediah Lane, Thos. Bentley." This meeting was then adjourned to; Dec. 10, 1794, at which time "the town's committee reported that they had agreed on a place on Capt. Bartlett's lot to; build a meeting house, Tryed, no vote, then the flat proposed, Tryed, no vote — the burying place proposed, Tryed, no vote, place by Azariah Lee's Tryed, no vote." It was then "Voted to choose a committee and they to be appointed by the County Court to; set a meeting house stake. Amos Brownson of Williston, Samuel Bradley of Essex, Phineas Loomis of Burlington said committee." At an adjourned meeting held Jan. 27, 1795, it was "Voted to choose three men; as heads of classes to provide materials for building. Benj. Bartlett, Roderick Messenger and Jedediah Lane were chosen." These classes, as they were termed, were a division of the men of the town into three companies or bodies, each to be directed in their labors by their respective heads....

...March 10th [1795] it was voted to; build the meeting house with a square roof. The people decided by vote to hold public worship in private houses and barns until the meeting house was ready for use, also that sheep be prohibited from running at large on the common. June 3rd, 1795, Noah Chittenden, Benjamin Bartlett and Thomas D. Rood were appointed a committee to; lay out the land that had been purchased for a meeting house green, and the heads of the three classes that had been employed to; build the house "see to; chopping and clearing off the land for the Green the present summer, one-third each." Noah Chittenden, Benjamin Bartlett and Thomas D. Rood were also instructed to "find and agree for a suitable and convenient place or places for burying the dead." November 18th it was voted to build the meeting house with the proceeds of the pews sold at public vendue at the next adjourned town meeting, and Noah Chittenden, Thomas D. Rood and Benjamin Bartlett were chosen a committee to number the pews and sell the same at public vendue, taking obligations from the bidders and regulating the time and manner for paying said obligations. The report of this committee made at the town meeting held December 9th was accepted, and it was voted; that Rev. Ebenezer Kingsbury have liberty to choose a pew for his family, who accordingly chose the pew by the pulpit stairs and proposed to give forty-five pounds toward the building to be paid out of his salary. It was voted; to; sell the pews "first bid to be first pick, and so on, and to; pick every one his bid on the plan now on the spot." Forty-two pews were sold at prices ranging from sixty-one to six pounds. March 10th, 1796, it was voted; that "nine dollars be taken out of the town treasury of the money that was raised for the purpose of getting powder and lead for town stock, and to pay the Court Committee who set the meeting house stake." March 13th, 1797, it was voted; "that the owners of any sheep shall be accountable for any damage which the sheep do." September 5th, 1797, voted; "that it is the sense of the freemen of Jericho that the act laying duties on stamped vellum Parchment and paper, passed by Congress July 6th, 1797, will be in its operation unequal and oppressive...

It is as yet uncertain when and where Benjamin died. A Benjamin Bartlet was enumerated in censuses in Jericho, Chittenden County, Vermont, from 1790 through 1820, and perhaps also in 1830. So it would appear that Benjamin passed away some time after 1820, or possibly 1830. One might suppose him to have passed away in Jericho and to have been buried in the Jericho Center Cemetery. However, no such records have as yet been located.

Despite being so alleged on many family trees, the Benjamin Bartlet of this profile was unlikely to have been the Capt. Benjamin Bartlett, of Virginia, age 45, who died 17 Mar 1795 in Concord, Middlesex County, Massachusetts.^[9] The Benjamin who died in 1795 in Concord, Massachusetts, died at the house of his brother, Samuel. That Benjamin had been "late of Richmond", Virginia, while the Benjamin Bartlett who is the subject of this profile resided in Jericho, Chittenden County, Vermont, in the 1790s, and was enumerated in later censuses. There was a Samuel Bartlett, Esq., a goldsmith or silversmith, in Concord since c 1775. However, that Samuel, the silversmith (17 Nov 1752 Charlestown, now part of Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts - 29 Apr 1821), was a son of Roger Bartlett^[10] (bapt 9 Feb 1725 Branscombe, Devon, England) and Anna (Hurd) Bartlett. It seems likely that they were the parents of the Captain Benjamin Bartlett who died in 1795. It would seem plausible, even likely, that Samuel the silversmith then of Concord, would have had a brother named Benjamin, since the name of Anna (Hurd) Bartlett's father was Benjamin.

Revolutionary War Service

Revolutionary War Patriot

In The History of Jericho, Vermont, published in 1916,^[11] Benjamin was referred to with the title of captain. There is muster roll service information that Benjamin served in the Revolutionary War as an ensign but thus far, service as a captain has not yet been identified.

Benjamin Bartlett (Bartlet, Bartlit) appeared on Vermont Revolutionary War pay rolls in 1780, 1781, and 1782. In 1780, he served with Capt. Ebenezer Wallis. In 1781 and 1782, Benjamin served with Capt. Elijah Galusha's Company of Militia in Ira Allen's Regiment. Elijah Galusha was married to Guilford, New Haven County, Connecticut-born Beulah (Chittenden) Galusha Lyon (1763 - 1824), who was a daughter of Thomas Chittenden, the first governor of Vermont, and Elizabeth (Meigs) Chittenden. Benjamin Bartlett was related to Elijah Galusha by this marriage. In pat rolls of Capt. Galusha's Company, Benjamin was shown as an Ensign rather than as a Captain, so the rank title does not match later references to him as Captain Bartlett. Ensign is just one rank below Captain. Possibly Benjamin was promoted, or some other explanation may exist for the discrepancy.

Benjamin's service was recorded on a number of pay rolls, as noted in Rolls of the soldiers in the revolutionary war, 1775 to 1783, indexed on Page 863 as appearing on at pages 318, 428, 438, 508, 550, 602. There are also listings in FamilySearch.

• Benj. Bartlet. Pay Roll of Capt E Wallis' Company of Militia for service in the year 1780. 5 days service. (page 318)
• En. Benj Bartlett, in Aug 1781. He served with Capt. Elijah Galusha's Company in Col. Ira Allen's Regiment on the alarm in August, 1781, to Saratoga. 4 days service. (page 428)

Children

Children included the following and possibly others as yet not identified (draft listing, dates/years may be approximates).

1. Mindwell (Bartlett) Billings (c 1774 apparently Connecticut - 12 May 1833 buried Jericho, Chittenden County, Vermont, Find a Grave memorial, no photo, had been under Midwell Billing [sic]).^[14] On 7 Jun 1790 in Vermont, On 7 Jun 1790, in Jericho, Chittenden, Vermont, Mindwell married Moses Billings.^[15] For a time, Moses Billings kept a hotel in Jericho, near the northwest corner of the Green.^[16] From her year of marriage (1790), an estimated 1774 year of birth might be almost about the latest latest she would likely have been born to have married in 1790. Even at age 16, she may have been considered under age, requiring permission from a parent to marry. Note that Ancestry family trees often seem to place Mindwell, who married Moses Billings, into the listing of children of the "other" Benjamin Bartlett, who lived and died in Connecticut. Surely Mindwell does not belong as a member in that family.
2. Chloe (Bartlett) Hatch (c 1779 probably Vermont, or Connecticut if Benjamin's wife Anne had not accompanied him to Vermont right away – 4 Jul 1849 buried Jericho, Chittenden County, Vermont),^[17] married Joseph Hatch (1775 - 1828). They had eight Hatch children, outlined including grandchildren in The History of Jericho, Vermont.^[18]
3. Eber Bartlett (c 1783 Vermont – after 1870), married Emily Spaulding (14 Jun 1802 Lempster, Sullivan, New Hampshire - after 1870, possibly after 1880 ?Reading, Windsor County, Vermont?), said to have been a daughter of Jonathan Spaulding (1770 - 1823) and Amelia"Millie" (Bennett) Spaulding.^[19]
4. Delana (Bartlett) Chambers, a twin (19 Nov 1787 Jericho, Chittenden County, Vermont - 14 Apr 1858 Jericho, Chittenden County, Vermont), in 1827, married John Chambers (1793 - 1876).^[20]"Vermont Vital Records, 1760-1954", , FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XFNM-4YS : Tue Oct 31 13:21:17 UTC 2023), Entry for Delana Bartlett and Benjamin Bartlett, 19 Nov 1787.^[21]
5. Christiana (Bartlett) Rouse, a twin (her name appeared as Christiania on a town listing and as Chrischana in Find a Grave) (19 Nov 1787 Jericho, Chittenden County, Vermont - 1 Jun 1858 Essex, Chittenden County, Vermont), married William Rouse (1788 – 1874).^[22][23]
6. Amanda (Bartlett) Peck (10 Jan 1790 Jericho, Chittenden County, Vermont – after 1850, it seems likely that she may have been the Amanda Peck who died 31 Oct 1863 at the Sheldon Poor House aka Sheldon Poor Farm, Sheldon, Franklin County, Vermont).^[24] Amanda married Eli Peck, who died at age 20. He was a son of Elijah Peck. Amanda and Eli Peck had children: Eli Peck (died young) and Moses Peck.^[25] Amanda Peck was enumerated as a head of household in Jericho, Chittenden County, Vermont, for a number of decades, to at least 1850, when she was recorded as age 60, with a 5-year old grandchild, Eli N. Peck [Eli Nelson Peck] (22 Sep 1844 - 16 Jun 1923], in her household.^[26] Amanda's grandson, Eli Nelson Peck, served in the Civil War as a Private in Company F of the 13th Vermont Infantry, and was a coauthor of Pictorial History Thirteenth Regiment Vermont Volunteers : War of 1861-1865, published in 1910 (and Supplement thereto, in 1911)..

Future Research

Future research possibilities:

• Check for possible death, burial record, or a will (e.g. the cemetery where related individuals were buried, town clerk, filmed/digitized Family History Library materials, etc.)
• Check for possible other Revolutionary War related records, especially to explain how/when/in what regiment, etc. that Benjamin went from being an ensign to a captain (Fold3, National Archives). It's also possible that he may have had a captain title from post-Revolutionary War local militia or other service,

Y-DNA Testing

To male direct-line descendants of this Bartlett family: Have you had a Y-DNA test done? If you know of a direct line male Bartlett descendant who has been tested or will be Y-DNA tested, please register the test in WikiTree and contact the Profile Manager.

Y-DNA testing is the "golden ticket" for confirming or attempting to ascertain paternal line ancestral relationships. Of major value is that the test will identify one of the numerous groups (called haplogroups) that the tested person is in. Also identified will be the component parts of the DNA (called markers by FamilyTreeDNA). The haplogroup in the male line remains constant generation after generation (think of, 1000 years or so). The markers can potentially show some variation among related individuals, but the markers remain relatively constant through the generations. Put simply, most markers will match...generally, the more markers that match, the more closely related the individuals.

Unfortunately, no Y-DNA test of a direct-line male BARTLETT / BARTLIT descendant of the immigrant ancestor, William Bartlett aka William Bartlit^[32] has been identified thus far.

Since only males have Y-DNA, only males can have their Y-DNA studied. The Y-DNA in the male line would need to follow from Bartlett son to his Bartlett son to his Bartlett son and so forth. There can be no intervening adoptions, illegitimacies, etc., which would break the genetic Y-DNA heritage.

The more commonly available autosomal DNA testing from Ancestry, 23andMe, etc., is of limited value. The relevance of autosomal DNA test results dissipates with each generation. Some say that the results are only potentially "good" for about four generations back in time. As an example, only a little over 6% of one's DNA will match with one's great-grandparents. Also, there is no definite pattern of inheritance when it comes to autosomal DNA.

Y-DNA testing with FamilyTreeDNA.com (Paternal Test Y-37 or higher) enables a person to join the Bartlett Project at https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/bartlettdna/about in order to collaborate and compare the haplogroup and specific markers among the 25 or so thus far identified different (unrelated) Bartlett family groups that came to North America.

• Various Ancestry family trees can be considered/compared, e.g. Ancestry Profile. Undocumented family trees (or trees insufficiently establishing that a particular document actually related to a specific individual with the same name...accepting those green leaf possibilities can just be too easy!) are not considered authoritative for the purposes of WikiTree. Indeed, in the case of this Benjamin Bartlett, there seem to have been a number of discrepancies introduced into family trees from earlier years when access to research sources was far less available, that then got copied over and over again into other family trees. However, at times, WikiTree profilers may find it helpful to opt to use such family tree information, pending primary or more authoritative sources being located.
