Hon. Israel Bartlett/ Haverhill, Ms (MA)
Nov. 2 1777 Israel Bartlett was the Chief in Command, apparently had Burgoyne's army as prisoners and was marching through Ma.They encamped that night at my many greats grandfathers farm "His house, barn, out buildings, etc, were entirely filled and occupied by the American Escort and the prisoners"... "The Late Hon. Israel Bartlett of Haverhill, Ms., had the chief command, and this historical event, as well as its date, is found in his diary, now in the possession of his son, Enoch Bartlett, Esq. of Dorchester, MS."This information comes from the New England Historical and Genealogical Register for 1847.Genealogyies (October 1847) Page 344, Genealogy of Henri Gachet.I am researching my Gachet/Gassett Family.Does this diary still exist?If so, where.Thanks for your help.The farm was in Northborough, MA.
