AUGUSTUS BARTOW, eldest son of John Bartow, of Pelham Manor, was born at Westchester, in 1762, where he carried on the business of milling and farming, and was a pew-holder of S. Peter's Church, Westchester. In 1786, he m. his second cousin, Clarina, daughter of Anthony Bartow, by whom he had five sons and four daughters.
After the death of Anthony Bartow, in 1790, with whom old Uncle John was living, the latter went to live on his place adjoining his brother's (Theophilus) estate, and took Clarina Bartow and her husband, Augustus, to live with and keep house for him. This place Augustus Bartow inherited from his uncle in 1802, but sold in 1806, and removed to Fishkill, Duchess County, N. Y., where he pursued his business of farming about 100 acres. Mr. Bartow was exactly six feet high, and of a noble appearance ; he wore a queue and shorts till his removal to Fishkill. He d. Jan. 18, 1810, from a sudden attack of colic, which lasted only a few hours, having been before in perfect health, and was interred in Trinity churchyard, Fishkill village, where a white headstone marks the spot, with the following inscription, copied by myself, Aug. 15, 1865 :
