Need information on The Bartlett Brothers Gunsmith or Gunmakers out of Binghamton New York in the 1800s?
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.
Why are there very few volcanoes and earthquakes in Australia?
Australia does experience earthquakes, but not as severely or as commonly as in say Japan, Iran or New Zealand. Meckering WA in 1968 and Newcastle NSW 1989 were two earthquakes which caused severe damage, and loss of life in the case of Newcastle, largely because Australian building codes generally do not take into account earthquakes because their frequency is so low. There were two minor earthquakes off Broome WA and in Gippsland Vic in March 2009. Essentially, Australia is situated far from tectonic plate margins which are the "hotspots" for severe earthquakes. Stresses can develop away from plate margins, which is why the continent can experience relatively minor earthquakes. Because Australia is centrally located on one of the shields of the earths crust. These are old solid parts of the earth's crust where there is no volcanic activity or movement so there is little in the way of seismic activity.
