Henry Bartley - an Indian Fighter and in Realestate
In the obituary of my 2nd great grandfather, Charles Moat,
a daughter of his is only named as
"Mrs. Henry Bartley".
I was able to find a recent photo @ find-a-grave
of a tall stone for Henry Bartley in Green Hill Cemetery
of Amsterdam, NY, where Charles Moat is supposed to be buried.

The woman who posted the photo suggested I try fultonhistory.com, a difficult website to use, but I
searched... Henry Barkley Obituary... and found this.
