I got this from someone on the list as to his version of the meaning, name of Bartlett. Any thoughts out there? Maybe there is more than one meaning? Hmmm. Makes one think. I deleted this persons name from the email to me, but maybe a nice hardy debate over the meaning of the great name might bring him to post and throw a few of his own thoughts on the matter to the ring.

The Bartlett's that make up my lineage trace directly from France and settled in Sussex having been granted lands by William the Conqueror. Edmund of Ernly, (father of John, Richard and Thomas who emigrated to America) is reputed to have been the fourth son the Barttelot's of Stopham (Source Burke, The Landed Gentry,1939 p. 2550) The family, to this day, spells their name Barttelot or de Bartellot (pronounced Berthelow). Sir Brian is currently the titular head of the family in Stopham, Pulborough, Sussex. While I wouldn't swear to it, I do not recall seeing an Isle of Wight connection. However, there may have been stragglers or maybe some who stayed for the lovely climate.

Hello Fellow Bartlett's, Does anyone have a source that have men who fought in the War of 1812. I have recently found someone who had a flag on his grave and the only war he would have fought in would have been in 1812. Thanks and have a wonderful holiday Mike Bartlett

To my understanding. Heraldy, all the activities of a herald, but primarily the art and science of armorial bearings, which is a herald's principal concern. The adoption of symbolic devices as a means of identification spread throughout the nobility of Europe in the 13th century and soon embraced corporations and institutions. HERALDY: The principal vehicle for displaying the heraldic devices is the shield. The crest, a subsidiary device, emerged in the late 14th century; it was modelled onto the helm. In pictorial representations the shield, on which the arms are borne, is surmounted by helm and crest; the latter is usually placed within a wreath or coronet, or rests upon a chapeau (a crimson cap turned up with ermine). The type and position of the helm indicates the rank of the bearer. In the late 15th century great nobles, and later certain corporations, were accorded supporters, creatures on either side of their shields to support them. At the same time insignia were used with arms; the garter of the Order of the Garter surrounded the shield; peers placed their coronets above their shields; and later orders and decorations were shown below the shield. The whole display is called an achievement of arms. In the design of arms a wide variety of symbols are used, depicted and arranged according to a series of conventions. Arms are hereditary; all male descendants of the first person to whom arms were granted or allowed bear the arms. Younger sons add small symbols, called marks of cadency, to their arms and crests. Arms are insignia of honour and so are protected by law. Today only the European monarchies, Ireland, Switzerland, South Africa, and Zimbabwe control the use of arms. In some countries there is non-noble or burgher heraldry, but this generally enjoys no protection. Tinctures are hues used in heraldry, which are denoted colours, metals, and furs. The colours are gules (red), azure (blue), sable (black), vert (green), and purpure (purple). Rarely used are murrey (sanguine), tenni (an orange-tawny colour), and bleu celeste (sky blue). The metals are or (gold, often represented by yellow) and argent (silver, invariably depicted as white). The furs are ermine (black spots on white) and such variations as erminois (black spots on gold) and vair (small symbolic squirrel pellets), alternately white and blue. The symbols used in heraldry are called charges. The principal charges are ordinaries--geometrical shapes such as the pale (a broad vertical strip), the fess (a horizontal strip), and the bend (a diagonal strip). Other charges are animate--beasts, monsters, humans, birds, fish, reptiles, and insects--or inanimate, which includes almost everything else. The field, the background of the shield, is "charged" with the charges. It may be plain, patterned (checkered), semi (strewn with little charges), or divided by a line or lines following the direction of the ordinaries. A shield divided into halves vertically is per pale, horizontally, per fess, and diagonally, per bend dexter (from upper right) or per bend sinister (from upper left). The dividing lines may be embattled (crenellated), wavy, or indented (zigzag). The top area of the field is the chief and the bottom the base. The shield is viewed as if being borne, so the viewer's left is the right, or dexter, and the viewer's right, the sinister. The top centre is the honour point, the middle centre the fess point, and the base centre the nombril point. To describe an achievement is to blazon it. The terms of blazon are in general a mixture of English and old French. Blazon is based in conventions that make it terse and unequivocal. Charges always face dexter, for example, and three charges on a shield are placed two in chief and one in base unless otherwise blazoned. There are many such conventions. The basic rules of blazon are to describe, in this order, the field, the principal charge (often an ordinary), other charges, and charges on charges. Adjectives follow the nouns they qualify, the tincture coming last; a red rampant lion on a gold shield is blazoned "Or a lion rampant gules." Badges are simple devices anciently used by nobles to mark their retainers and property and were displayed on their standards. They are now granted to people and institutions who bear arms. Augmentations are additions to arms to commemorate and often reward doughty actions. Charles II, for example, rewarded many loyalists by the grants of augmentation of his royal insignia and badges. Marshalling is correctly depicting an achievement of arms, particularly in connection with showing more than one coat on a shield. In marshalling, a married man impales the arms of his wife by placing the two coats side by side on one shield. If she is a heraldic heiress he places her arms on an inescutcheon, a small shield in the centre of his. An heiress may transmit her arms as a quartering to her descendants. Quartering is to divide the shield into four or more divisions by horizontal and vertical lines to accommodate the requisite number of inherited coats. A spinster bears her paternal arms in a lozenge (a diamond) with no crest. When married she uses the marital shield of arms only, and if widowed, she uses the marital arms on a lozenge. Certain officials, such as bishops and kings of arms, have arms appertaining to their office, which they impale to the dexter of their personal arms. I know we have a few UK Bartletts out there, anything to add? Tammy

To my understanding and knowledge. COAT OF ARMS also called SHIELD OF ARMS , heraldic device dating back to 12th-century Europe, used primarily to establish identity in battle but evolving to denote family descent, adoption, alliance, property ownership, or profession--the oldest extant document being a copy of a roll of arms of the king of England from about 1240. The coat of arms consists of a shield, or escutcheon, and surface, or field. It is divided into nine parts (called points) in order to properly position bearings. It is further divided into chief and base, or top and bottom, and it is often ornamented with helmet, mantling, wreath, crest, badge, motto, supporters, crown, or coronet. The left, or sinister, side is to the observer's right; the right, or dexter, side to the left; and the entire display is designated the achievement. At first simply assumed, the coat of arms was later given under royal grant, the College of Arms being established in London in 1484 by England's King Richard III. Originally the coat of arms was a cloth tunic worn over, or occasionally to conceal, armour; or, in place of armour, it was padded and worn for protection but marked with the shield's identical emblem to aid identification. Just as shields themselves were artistically embellished to record personal or family themes or history, so too were they chosen as emblems for organizations far removed from war--e.g., schools, universities, guilds, churches, fraternal societies, and even modern corporations--to reflect their mottoes or histories. Closely related to the science of heraldry and the study of genealogy, coat-of-arms design reflects historical tradition, relying on established patterns, positioning, symbols, and colours, often called tinctures: gold or yellow (or), white or silver (argent), blue (azure), green (vert), red (gules), purple (purpure), and black (sable).

Dear Newbies and even those not so New to this genealogy hunt, Tonight, after three years of trying to track, trace, hunt up, going thru dusty books, cobwebbed shelves falling on top of me. I finally got to post something to a mail list that really says it all to my heart. Four generation of my line I could share for once. If I could bottle this feeling of joy and pass it along to you I would. With your cost only being a smile. I do not think I have cried this much since, well heck I do not know when. Tears of JOY. :) All JOY. :) I know some of you are new, don't know what to do. Hang in there. If there is only one thing my Granny ever taught me is.....family is worth everything and then some. And no matter what, I will do whatever I am able to do to help. And I know there are many great hearted people on this list who will help where they can. And along with them, me and Ruth...we are going to do this. I have a ton of records coming to the web site soon, so...we will all get there. Tammy
