Hi,
I happen to Love your Email address name.It made me laugh out loud!Anyway, I went through my Robert Bartlett book from the Mayflower Society and my Francis Cooke book also from the Mayflower Society (it has a lot of Bartlett names), and I am so sorry to tell you this news, but I found None of those names in my books.No Timothy Bartlett's, No Priscilla Jacobs, no Abigail Wells/Welles or any Elizabeth Titcomb's.(found the name Whitcomb but no Elizabeth's).I would NEVER trust Anything the LDS site has posted either.Unless you can click on their Resource File at the bottom and it cites VR's or Town Records or some sort of a more reliable source than a "Submitter" file, I would not trust that.
Anyway, you might also try scrounging through the DAR books.I found one of my Bartlett ancestors (a Joseph Bartlett from Unity, Waldo Co., Maine) in there just yesterday.So keep digging and as I am Always researching in Maine since ALL of my relatives (both parents, both sides going waaaay back), are from there, I will keep my eyes peeled for you for any Bartlett's that sound like they might be yours.I'll also check the rest of my Mayflower books just to be sure they are not listed in any of them as well.You might try Posting to the Pilgrim forum on here too.Just go up to the JUMP TO FORUM box on the upper right of the screen here and type in Pilgrim's (with apostrophe S) and it should take you right to the page.
Good Luck on your searching.
