Family Tree

The family record below was found in the effects of Helen Bartlett Crawford, the daughter of Alfred and Zona Bartlett, after her death. Alfred always said he was raised by Mrs. Bartlett on the farm he later owned, but Mrs. Bartlett wasn't his mother.  It's possible that his parents died and he was orphaned. The only thing that is certain is that he was raised by James and Elizabeth Bartlett and that he bought the farm soon after her death.

This record of deaths lists James Bartlett, his son Joseph Bartlett, and his wife Elizabeth Bartlett. On the right is Alfred Herman Bartlett, Alfred and Zona's son who died young from rheumatic fever.

On the back side of the paper the records start with the marriage of Alfred and Zona followed by the birth dates of all of their children as well as their grand-children.

Note 1: Nathan BARTLETT was one of the earliest settlers in the Dry Valley, his grants being a little older than those of his nearest neighbor, Joseph HUNTER.

 

Note 2: Peggy HUNTER was a sister-in-law of Sarah BOONE, who married Peggy's brother, William HUNTER. Sarah BOONE was the daughter of Edward "Ned" BOONE and the niece of the famous "Daniel BOONE", her fathers brother. Nathan and Peggy are both buried in the BARTLETT Graveyard in Eastlake Subdivision on Bartlett Road, Cookeville, Putnam Co., TN. From 1947 correspondance received from Mrs. B. K. Mitchell, Clerk & Master of Chancery Court, White County: "...I did find the graves of one Nathan and his wife, which proved to be the Nathan whose estate was settled in 1837 to 1840. These two graves are marked with heavy slabs of mountain stone set roof style over them and with the following inscriptions: 'Here lies the body of Nathan BARTLETT, Decd April 20, 1837, aged 86.' "

 

Note 3: [Note: Putnam Co., TN was formed 1842 from White County, the formation declared unconstitutional and abolished, then re-established in 1854. Prior to 1842, Dry Valley was located in what was then White County.]

 

Note 4: In 1791 the family moved to Hawkins Co, TN where the mother died about 1793-94. Joseph, not knowing what to do with the three children, placed them in the custody of their Grandmother SIMS. Also helpful with the children was their Aunt Lucy CHISHOLM. By 1796 Joseph had married Millicent RICE and started a second family. About 1810 Joseph and his family moved from Hawkins County to White Co., TN, remaining there through at least 1815 [Tax lists-land on Phillips Crk]. From May 1824 through Feb 1836 Joseph and Millicent were members of the Spring Creek Baptist Church (Overton/Jackson Co., TN).

 

Note 5: Joshua is buried in an unmarked grave on the Joshua BARTLETT Farm, South of Falling Water, Putnam Co., TN. His Will was dated Sep. 23, 1823 and proven July 4 or 14, 1828, White Co., TN. Winifred WILLIAMS BARTLETT is buried in Brown's Mill or Hiram Brown Cemetery, Putnam Co., TN.

 

From the Early History of Putnam County, Tennessee , by W. S. Mcclain, 1925:

 

Joshua BARTLETT and wife (Winnie, nee WILLIAMS) moved from Boonesborough, KY with their eight children about the year 1808 and built a cabin on the south bank of Falling Water, near the location of the concrete bridge on the new highway through there.

 

Later Mr. BARTLETT erected a larger and better residence (now occupied by Dudley FARLEY) near the original cabin, which was then used for several years as a church and school house, but was finally abandoned for a new building on the north bank of Falling River, the site of the present Brown's Mill Church. The BARTLETT children were named Daniel, Nathan, Joseph, Edith, Rebecca, Dorcas, Nancy and Penelope. Another daughter, Hester, was born in their new home in 1812, and was the grandmother of Claude BROWN, who gave us this information. Mr. BROWN's mother, widow of the late Hyram BROWN, now in her 87th year, remembers clearly the details of the capture of Daniel BOONE's daughters by the Indians, in a raid on Boonesborough, as related by her mother. The original entry of land by Mr. BARTLETT embraced 360 acres on Falling Water, the bottom land thickly covered by tall cane.
