Washington Bartlett is Notable.
This profile is part of the Bartlett Name Study.
Washington Bartlett From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
- Washington Montgomery Bartlett (February 29, 1824 – September 12, 1887) was the 20th mayor of San Francisco, California from 1883 to 1887, the 16th governor of California, and – to date – the only Jewish governor of California.
- Bartlett was born in Savannah, Georgia in 1824, the son of Sarah E. Melhado and Cosam Emir Bartlett. His mother was Sephardic. Unlike the second elected Jewish governor, Moses Alexander of Idaho, Bartlett was not particularly religious and did not participate in Jewish observances while in California: His funeral was conducted at the Trinity Episcopal Church in San Francisco.
- He was a lifelong bachelor and a printer by trade. During his lifetime Bartlett was a San Francisco newspaper publisher, San Francisco County Clerk, lawyer, state senator, mayor, and finally a governor.
- Bartlett's term as governor started and ended in 1887 when he died in office of Bright's disease nine months into his term. His inaugural address after being elected as governor was presented on 8 January 1887.[3]
- Bartlett is buried in Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland, California.
He was mayor of San Francisco, California from 1883 - 1887.
NB: Not to be confused with Washington Allon Bartlett, the first "alcalde" (mayor) of San Francisco.

Biog says he was a lifelong bachelor so I clicked the radio button for no spouse and for no children. That latter can be "fixed' if someone turns up a child.
