The Bartlett family in Binghamton, so well known in county, village
and city history for a period of nearly three-quarters of a century, were
the descendants of Captain Isaac and Col. Loring Bartlett, natives of
Salisbury, Conn. In 1813, according to well authenticated Tioga
county records, Capt. Bartlett and his family settled in Owego. The
pioneer himself was a blacksmith and wagon maker, while his sons
Joseph and Robert S. were gunsmiths. The children in the family
were Eliza, Joseph, Alvin, Robert S., Abigail, Isaac L., Jerusha, Will-
iam B. and Charles Bartlett, not all of whom, however, settled in
Binghamton, nor did all of them come with the pioneer to Owego.
The representatives of Col. Loring Bartlett's family in Broome county
were Dorcas, George and Phebe Bartlett, all of whom lived and died
in this city. Loring Bartlett never lived in this state. Isaac and Lor-
ing Bartlett were sons of Sylvanus Bartlett, and grandsons of Sylvaniis
Bartlett, sr. , the latter a patriot of the Revolution. The family in
America was descended from Robert Bartlett, who came to Plymouth
on the ship Ann in 16"23, and was of Puritan stock. Some of the de-
scendants of Robert afterward settled in Salisbury, Conn., and from
them sprung the branch of the family that came into southern New
York.
In 1829 Capt. Isaac Bartlett and his family removed from Owego to
Binghamton, and with the best interests and history of the latter muni-
cipality his sons and their children were afterward identified. Joseph
and Robert S. were gunsmiths and started a shop on the north side of
Court street, between the site of the present Sisson building and the
corner next east. Their property was taken by the State in the con-
struction of the canal, after which they purchased land on the west side
of Franklin street (now Washington), where for a period of about fifteen
years they carried on an extensive gun making business, employing at
times as many as twenty- five workmen. Isaac L. Bartlett was prob-
ably associated with his older brothers in gun making, and in the same
building he also made plows. Soon after 1850 the manufacture of guns
by machinery in the large cities seriously interfered with the success
of the Bartlett factory in this village, therefore the business was closed
and the building was sold to Mr. Tichenor. In the meantime, while
their business was yielding good results, Joseph and Robert S. Bartlett
purchased a large farm east of the village, and placed it in charge of
their father. After selling out in the village Joseph Bartlett moved to
the farm and afterward lived there nearly his whole life time. Joseph
Bartlett was for many years closely identified with Broome county his-
tory, and was, withal, one of the most prominent men in this locality.
He filled various public offices, the most important of which, perhaps,
was that of sheriff, from 184i to 1847. He was at one time superin-
tendent of this division of the Chenango canal, and in many other ways
associated with the history of this region. His wife was Deborah Caf-
ferty, of an old and highly respected family in Union. They raised to
maturity a large and interesting family of children, several of whom in
later years occupied positions of distinction. in business, professional
and political life.
These children were William Alvin, the noted divine of Chicago and
Washington, but now living in New York; Joseph J., who became a
major-general in the Union army during the war of 18G1-65, and was
afterward appointed U. S. minister to Norway and Sweden; Frederick,
who was a sea captain many years and who with his vessel was lost and
never afterward heard of; Robert, Frank, L. Chester, a major on his
brother's military staff, once sheriff of Broome county and also mem-
ber of assembly; Benjamin, Henry, Edward, Julia, and one other
child who died young.
Robert S. Bartlett lived in Binghamton from 1829 to the time of
his death, July 33, 18S1. He is remembered as a man of quiet and
conservative habits, whose chief aim in life was the comfort of his
family and the welfare of the village and city. He was connected
with the village government in various capacities, such as collector,
highway commissioner, school district trustee and assessor. He was
deputy sheriff under his brother and also deputy under the latter in
the canal superintendency. He was appointed railway mail agent
in 1853 and served in that capacity until about five years before his
death. His wife was Dorcas M., daughter of Col. Loring Bartlett.
Their children were Eliza, who married Oilman L. Sessions; John S.,
of Buffalo, for more than twenty years northwestern passenger agent of
the Erie railroad ; James H. Bartlett, deputy postmaster at Bingham-
ton; George, now of Binghamton but formerly freight agent of the
Northern Central railroad at Elmira; and Anna Bartlett, who married
Oliver W. Sears and now lives in the old homestead on Court street.
Isaac L. Bartlett, for many years one of our most prominent business
men, was born in Salisbury, Conn., June 20, 1813. He came with his
father's family to Binghamton in 1829, and soon associated with his
brother in their gun factory. In their Franklin street shop he added a
plow making branch to the business, which he carried on several years.
He afterward started a yard on the canal bank and dealt extensively in
hard and soft lumber. In 1864 the firm of Blanchard & Bartlett was
formed, and purchased the old Collier mill on the corner of Hawley
street and the canal. Later on the firm purchased the Kenyon & New-
ton mill, which stood on the north bank of the Susquehanna, below the
Rockbottom dam. This plant was destroyed by fire, after which the
firm operated the Collier mill, doing a general lumber manufacturing
business, until 1867, when the Evans warehouse property on the east
side of the "basin " was purchased, rebuilt and made into a large sash,
blind and door factory and planing mill. The buildings were subse-
quently enlarged until the factory became one of the largest in south-
ern New York. John W. Rowlingson came into the firm about 1873,
but two years later, through business misfortunes, the entire property
passed into the hands of Bartlett Bros. (Arthur S. & Charles J. Bart-
lett.) The junior partner died in September, 1886, upon which the
firm name was changed to Bartlett & Co., as since known in business
circles. Isaac L. Bartlett, the founder in fact of this leading industry,
died December 20, 1888, after almost sixty years of active business life
and of residence in Binghamton. He was much respected in social and
business circles, and is remembered especially for his exemplary habits
and correct life. His wife, with whom he married in May, 1846, was
Emily Banks of Bridgeport, Conn. Their children were Arthur S. ,
now senior partner in the firm of Bartlett & Co. ; Laura B. , who mar-
ried Herbert E. Smith; Isaac L., jr., now dead; Charles J., now dead;
and Emily B., who became the wife of Sidney T. Clark.
