I went to the TN State Library & Archives today and found some information that I thought some of you might find rather interesting. Tammy, you might want to add this to your website cause it's about the coat of arms you already have there. Family of Bartlett Coat of Arms ARMS: Sable, three falconers gloves, pendent, argent, banded and tassled. CREST: A swan couchant, argent, wings - in dorso. MOTTO: Meaning mature, and all in good time. AUTHORITY: Croziers "General Armory," 1904 edition, page 19. Burkes "General Amory", 1878 edition, page 54, arms only. Burkes Visitations, 1854 edition. TINCTURES, as shown by discription: The shield is of black. The gloves are of silver, with gold tassles. Some lines band the gloves with gold. The swan is silver. The wreath, on which the crest rests is of alternate twists of black and silver. The print is reproduced exactly from an old English bookplace, made circa 1760. Decorative features, apart from the Arms, Crest and Motto, are optional. Usually the frame is of bronze, or brown, green leaves, flowers of red, yellow and blue. In Burkes "Visitations," the connection between the English and American lines are acknowledged. Martin and Allardyce, By George C. Martin Martin and Allardyce of San Antonio, TX in Bexar Co., took an oath that the insignia described above appears in the Published Heraldic Authority mentioned above. Given under my hand and seal of office, this is the 25th day of Nov. A.D. 1949.

MOTTO: Matura - "In Good Time." I found all this in Roots and Branches by Juanita Bartlett-Newton Willis. This book also includes information on Robert Bartlett of Plymouth (Newton Connection), including family charts, the Newton Mayflower Connection and some Bartlett Mayflower Connections. I also found Ancestry and Descendants of Samuel Bartlett and Lucy Jenkins by Edith B. Sumner and Forefathers and Descendants of Willard and Genevieve Wilson Bartlett and of Allied Families by Moulton, McGehee, and Endress, copyright 1952, printed by The Anthoensen Press, Portland, ME. This last book includes information on Richard of Newbury and ancestral lines of Willard Bartlett, Genevieve Wilson Bartlett, Jane Moulton Bartlett, Louise McGehee Bartlett, and Elizabeth Endress Bartlett. If anyone thinks there might be some information in any of these books that might help you with your line I'll be happy to look through them more thoroughly. Just let me know.
