Hi Jim, do you know who his parents were> Jim -----Original Message----- From: Jim Bartlett <[email protected]> To: va-northern-neck <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, Sep 30, 2011 12:24 pm Subject: Re: [VA-NORTHERN-NECK] Some interesting tombstones Craig This reminds me - look up Sanford BARTLETT in the NN Tree - he was an army Capt in War 1812, served as a recruiter in Winchester, VA where he died c1817 - some have seen his tombstone in that area, but I've never been able to find it. Of my line that went from Richmond to Fauquier to Harrison Co, VA, Sanford is the only one to move back East (Harrison Co to Winchester,) and his children moved from there back to Fauquier Co - go figure.... Everyone else stayed in (W)VA or migrated westward, many floating down (north) the West Fork River on rafts which could get them to the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers in early 1800s.

Sure - they were: Thomas BARTLETT c1733-1806 from his 2m Jan 1777 Fauquier Co, VA to Sarah CARROLL I also know the 4 grandparents, if you need that. Do you know where Sandord is buried?
