| 9. |  Mary BARTLET was born on 1 Feb 1655 in Guilford (Now Madison), CT (daughter of Deacon George BARTLET and Mary CRUTTENDON); died in Nov 1724 in , , Connecticut, USA. Notes:
"Bartlett" comes from an old Norman French surname, "Barttelot" The Bartlet name is first found in England with an Adam Barttelot, Esq., who served under William the Conqueror and died in Co. Sussex in 1100 A.D. He was given lands for his service in Ferring, Susex where the next 5 generations lived. In the 5th generation, his descendant, John Bartlett bought lands in Stopham, Sussex, England where his descendants still live today. It is not known how our Mary ties into the lineage. (F-531, 633)
It is conjecture at this point, who Mary's parents are. A Mormon Ancestral file record gives her birth date as Sept. 11, 1669 of Guilford, New Haven, CT. It also states that she is the daughter of George and Mary Cruttenden Bartlett. However, upon checking the Barbour Collection which is an excellent second hand index made of the vital records for Connecticut, Mary's birth date is not in them. This birth date is likely a misinterpretation of Mary Crittendon Bartlett's burial date which is listed as bd, Sept. 11, 1669. In the Barbour Collection, bd means burial date.
However, I still find the most proof supporting the belief that Mary is the daughter of Mary Crittendon and George Bartlet and likely to have been born near her mother's death. First, our Mary was from Kenilsworth/Killingworth at the time of her marriage, a town ten miles Northeast of Guilford Twp., Connecticut where George and Mary had lived.
In fact, Kenilsworth/Killingworth abutted Guilford, divided by the Hammosett (River?), which had an original size ten miles in length. (F-503) Another child of George and Mary Bartlett also lived in Killingworth at the time, Daniel Bartlett. The fact that Mary is not in the vital records as the child of Mary and George Bartlet is also not surprising.
Another daughter tied to George and Mary in Talcott was not placed in the town records either, i.e. Deborah, until her marriage. (F-499) There is also one more unaccounted for female Bartlett that was only in the vital records at the time of her marriage, that is also highly likely to be the daughter of George and Mary. A Judeth Bartlet married John Boyd on Mar. 28, 1676/7 in Killingworth, CT. (F-502) So what we have is only one Bartlet, Deacon George Bartlet, living in the Guilford/Killingworth area of an age appropriate to be the father of all the other Bartlet's known living in the area.
Our Mary, Deborah and a Judeth are listed in the marriage records, but were not recorded in the birth vital records as the daughters of George. Also note that all three of these ladies had their last name spelled the same as George's name was spelled, Bartlet.
It is my belief that these daughters had to be daughters of George and Mary Cruttendon Bartlet. Since both these parents died while having young children, it seems likely that recording of their births was simply not made. (F-463) The only other Bartlets in Connecticut at the time that could be parents to these young ladies all lived in Hartford County, CT. Their surnames were consistently spelled Bartlett with 2 tt's, unlike the Bartlet's of the Guilford/Killingworth area. John Bartlett of Windsor Twp, Hartford (m.1641?) (One researcher believes she is descended from a John, perhaps this one??? (F-477); Benjamin and Deborah Bartlett of Winsdor, Hartford (m.1665); Esaya (Isiah) and Abia Bartlett of Windsor Twp., Hartford (m.1663); Josia Bartlett of Windsor, Hartford (m.1664?); Robert and Ann Bartlett of Hartford, Hartford (m.1643?) (F-332); and Edward Bartlett (d. 1676) in Windsor leaving a will, (F-504). I have checked the Barbour collection for a Mary, Deborah or Judeth Bartlet, being born to any of these, and have not found them in the vital records for these families either. (F-502)
As far as our Mary goes, it is true that if she was the daughter of George and Mary Bartlet as seems likely from time and place, she was the second living daughter of theirs to be named Mary. This would have been possible, if she had been born near her mother's death. Multiple children were given the same names in a family in the history of England, even when an older sibling was still living. This pattern would still would seem possible in this time period especially if Mary had been named to honor a dying mother.
