Posted on: Warren County, Ia Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ia/Warren/1225 Surname: Bartholomew ------------------------- Thank you for your response, Laurane. I am a direct descendant of Joseph Bartholomew, George Marston Bartholomew's brother. Both Joseph and George were raised by their grandfather, Gen. Joseph Bartholomew. Joseph left home while Gen. Joseph still lived in Clark Co., IN, but George went with the General to McLean County, IL, where he met and married his wife, Mary Flesher. Joseph went with a family by the name of Benson to Missouri and then to Hancock County, IL. He married one of the Benson daughters by the name of Polly, and eventually migrated to Pottawattamie Co. IA and later central Utah in l852. He named one his sons after his brother, George, with whom I believe he was very close and fond of even though they were always separated by great distances after Joseph went west. I have a great deal of information about George's children, grandchildren, and in some cases, great grandchildren, many of whom coninued to reside in WARREN and Polk Counties after they married. But I would like to verify dates, spouses, birth, marriage, death and burial locations, and children. Any information I have regarding George's ancestors or descendants is available to you.
