Robert Bartlett: was an early settler at Hartford, and thence removed to Northampton about 1655. One of the first settlers of Northampton; came from Hartford where he had lived many years. He had a wife, Anne. [Northampton. Vol. IV. p. 44. 46.] He was slain by the Indians, March 14, 1676, when they broke through the palisades into the village, and was buried in the highway in front of his lot, on, or near, the old jail lot. At the time of his burial it was not considered safe to go to the burying-ground to dig a grave and bury the body. He had an estate valued at 654 pounds, or, upward of $2000, which was a large estate for a farmer in those days. Robert Bartlett left an estate to his children valued at 654 pounds. [Northampton. Vol. IV. p. 44. 46.] They had four children born before they came to Northampton. Robert Bartlett was not always exemplary in his conduct. He was once excommunicated from the Church, and subsequently re-admitted. Anne -----: his wife; his widow, Anne, d. July 3, 1676.
