Marilyn, I have in my Brooks genealogy a reference to my Bartlett ancestors.I haven't been able to trace them yet, but here is what I have.The Brooks genealogy was written by one Lawrence Sonley, a decendent of Otis Bartlett through Charity Ann Bartlett, the sister of my ancestor Laura Jane. Laura Jane married Elisha Hall Brooks.I hope I haven't confused you, but I wanted to show you the connection. There is nothing about the Bartletts previous to Otis, but there is a line that has me wondering, "The 1850 census gives Otis' birth place as Canada.It is surmised that his parents moved there from New England after the Revolutionary War."Otis was born in 1805, and I suppect that his parents were Loyalist.He was living in Ohio and married by 1829.I have done a search of Loyalist and the name Bartlett comes up, but so far I have not been able to make a connection.Have you had any better luck?Mary Jane
