• Notes

  Joseph Bartlett, Lockhart and Taylor, were the first settlers [of Pin Oak, Madison County, Illinois] . The latter two made small improvements near the Pin Oak grove. Uncle Joe Bartlett, as he was familiarly called, located in section 21. They settled here in 1809. Bartlett became a permanent and prominent citizen. He was born in the state of Virginia, January 13, 1775, and emigrated to the vicinity of Knoxville, Tennessee, where he resided many years. From there he went to Kentucky and thence to the territory of Illinois in 1807. He first located near the old village of Milton, in the Wood River settlement, where he remained until 1809. He then settled as above stated. During the Indian troubles he served as a ranger, and took part in the building of Fort Russell. He also built a fort or block house on the west eighty of the northwest quarter, section 21. This block house stood about three hundred years west of where his daughter now resides, on the north side of the road. He was one of the party that gave chase to the Indians that committed the Wood River massacre. He was also in the Black Hawk war, accompanied by three of his sons. He built a double log-house on the state road on the tract that is well known as "the Bartlett Place." His block house remained standing until about 1834, when he tore it down, moved it near his residence and converted it into stables. Mr. Bartlett was married to Patience McCoy, April 5, 1798. She was born February 22, 1778. He raised a family of seven children, and died January 1, 1864. Martin settled a place on the southern line of Hamel township. Nicholas located a short distance north of his brothers. William settled the place where C.B. Gonterman now lives. Jesse, the youngest son, lived in the old homestead. Sarah married George Day, Who settled a place in the north-eastern part of section 9. Rachel, the youngest, became the wife of Daniel E. Adams. ...
