Hazen Family Tree - Robert Bartlett, Wine Cooper

Robert Bartlett - Wine Cooper at Plymouth Plantation

Family Connection - 8th Great-grandfather of Edward Elihu Hazen



Robert Bartlett's origins and parentage are currently unknown. His year of birth, estimated from his marriage, is about 1604.  He came to Plymouth in 1623 on the ship Anne and joined the Plymouth Colony. 

Robert Bartlett was a wine cooper - a cooper who made water-tight barrels designed to hold liquids. He was named Freeman of the colony in 1632. He was active in Plymouth affairs - he served on juries fourteen times, was on the committee to lay out highways, and was on the committee to lay out land. He was also listed as able to bear arms.

Robert married Mary Warren, daughter of Richard Warren (subject of Nov. 18th blog) in 1628 or 1629.

They had eight children:
        
            Benjamin            b. 1629        d. 1691
            Rebecca              b. 1631        d. 1658
            Mary                   b. 1633        d. 1692
            Sarah                   b. 1636        d. 1680
            Joseph                 b. 1639        d. 1711
            Elizabeth             b. 1641        d. 1713
            Lydia                   b. 1648        d. 1691
            Mercy                  b. 1650        d. unknown

Note: There are no surviving birth records for this time period - either they did not keep any or they were destroyed. So, the birth years above are estimates by professional genealogists.

Robert continued adding to his land holdings throughout his life. His holdings included lots near the Eel River, Duxborrow, Punckateesett (now Little Compton, Rhode Island), as well as in Plymouth. He gave some of his land holdings to his sons prior to his death. 

Town records indicate Robert took apprentices - one for 9 years beginning December 1635, another in 1638 for 4 years. 

Robert was called into court on May 1, 1660 in Plymouth to answer the charge of speaking contemptuously of the singing of psalms. He was convicted, but there's no record of penalty or punishment. 

Robert Bartlett died sometime between the date of his will, September 19, 1676, and October 29, 1676, the date of probate. It was simple - he gave everything to his wife absolutely, and stated she could give it to their children if and how she wished.  His estate was valued at £170, including 2 dwellinghouses, a barn, uplands and meadows. 

Mary Warren Bartlett, his wife, died in 1683. Although it is likely they are buried in the Plymouth Burying Ground, no markers exist and no gravesite is recorded.

Welcome!

Welcome to my genealogy blog! I'm just getting started, but I hope to share family trees, facts, and stories I've uncovered while researching my family and Dave's family. So, I will be posting family trees for the ancestors of Edward Elihu Hazen Jr.,  Ruth Ann Bradley, Roy Ellsworth Stricker, and Anna Elnora Rosemeyer,  My genealogy is a work in progress, and although I strive for accuracy, and have at least one (usually several) historical record to back up each name and relationship, I do make revisions from time to time. My goal for each branch is to trace direct ancestors at leas as far as the first immigrant to the U.S.  I'm new at blogging, so please be patient - I'm learning as I go. Again, welcome! Starla

Rosemeyer Family Tree - Friederick Rosemeyer and Eleanor Kolling

Friederich Rosemeyer  and Eleanor Kolling - Immigrants to Indianapolis Family Connection - great-grandfather and great-grandmother to Anna Rosemeyer Friederich Rosemeyer was born in Germany on Aug. 25, 1844.  I haven't found a marriage record (yet!) but in 1873, he immigrated to the U.S. with his wife Eleanor, age 31, daughter Christine, age 4, and son Friederich, age 11 months. They arrived in New York on September 19th. I assume they traveled by train to Indianapolis from New York City.  Why Indianapolis? We may never know for sure, but it is likely they came because they had connections to other members of Zion Evangelical and Reformed Church (now Zion United  Church of Christ). Indianapolis had a large German immigrant community, and at Zion, they worshipped in German until at least 1928, when the first services in English occurred.  Friederich and Eleanor had six children:     Christina      1869-1875     Frederick  ...
