The Elias Bartlett Connections

The Elais Bartlett Connections


Very little is known of Elias W. Bartlett Sr. He was born in KY about 1822. He was probably born into slavery and brought to Missouri. He lived in Carrolton, Carol County in Missouri.

Elias and his family were listed on the 1870 and 1880 census in Carrollton, County.
His first wife was Rachel and his second wife was Harriett.

Rachel born about 1825 in MO. Very little is know about Rachel. Her maiden name unknown. Elias and Rachel believe to have had a slave marriage some time in the early 1850's.

Their children according to the 1870 census record listed estimate year of birth.

According to a census Elias and Harriet were married around 1875. They were married for 25 years. Harriet was widow on the 1900 census.

Harriet was listed on a census as having 7 children. One child was deceased by 1900

Information shows that there was daughter Sallie who had a daughter. The grand daughter was Myrtle Peyton. Myrtle married and had two daughters. Lucy E. Bartlett Mossell was mulatto was half sister to Harriet's children. Myrtle later divorce and remarried.

Harriet's other children: estimate year of birth
Elias Jr. 1879
Sam      1882
Jennie   1883            
Juanita  1891
Paul      1893

I don't know if Harriett was calming Lucy and the other child as her daughter. Lucy was Harriet's step daughter. Also I've noted that between the birth of Jennie and Juanita there was about a 9 years gap. Perhaps there were children born.

Elias Bartlett Sr. may have passed away about 1893 in Carrollton, Missouri. He was the father of about 13 or14 children.
