Biographical Note
Simeon Bartlett (b. 1764), lived in Williamsburg, Massachusetts from 1797 to 1832 and married Elisabeth Bunt in 1793. They had five children: Harriet (1794-1821), Sapphire (b. 1796), Ashbel Baker (1798-1832), Betsy (b. 1800), and Simeon (b. 1803). The family may have moved to Williamsburg in April, 1797 , as his book entry dated April 23 reads, "Then we moved into John _____ House at Williamsburg." On the 24th Bartlett wrote "Had when I came to Williamsburg 5 bushel Rock Salt which went to the family." Originally, the Bartlett family came from Martha's Vineyard, as did others mentioned in these accounts: Mayhew, Manter, Hillman. |
