Lee, Thank you for posting this information. I have been researching Bartlett Wainscott and had noticed that he appeared on census records living very near Bartlett Mason. I have never been able to make a connection, but I have been guessing that Richard Wainscott was the father of Bartlett. Since Richard Wainscott married Bartlett's daughter, he is most likely the father of Bartlett Wainscott. At least now I know I'm on the right track. Jackie Couture At 09:47 AM 4/14/1999 -0700, Lee K.
