Untangling the Solon BARTLETTs
A simple search of Ancestry.com for Solon BARTLETT shows me one problem we
have with this name, which I thought was surely unique -- there are at least
FOUR. I'm primarily interested in Solon Putnam BARTLETT, my husband's
gggrandfather, but it might be useful to chronicle the others, too. I'll put
them in order of birth.

The Ancestral File on FamilySearch.org lists a Solon Bartlett born 22 Nov
1811, in Bethel, Oxford Co. Maine, son of Peregrine Bartlett and Sally
MERRILL. The GEDCOM can be downloaded from FamilySearch.
FamilySearch IGI has a Family Group Sheet for Solon born 14 Jun 1813 in NY,
son of Josiah Barlett and Alice F. Putnam, both also born in NY. No
sources are cited, of course! This is our Solon.

Another group sheet has a marriage to DORTHEA CAPTULA SITES on 9 NOV 1848,
also in Mercer County, Illinois. I believe this marriage is also listed in
the Index.

She could have been married by 1900....If so, this is the same Solon as Solon

What happened to this Solon, b. 1850, son of Joseph G & Charlotte, and perhaps
grandson of Joseph and Betsy in the same house? Because the birth dates AND
place are different, plus the parent's names, I think this is a different
Solon below.
Solon BARTLETT b. Aug 1845 Maine m. Estella H. [-?-] b. 1851-1855 Maine,
New Hampshire, or Vermont, s/o Stephen and Martha H. [-?-]. Possible
relative of Charles Solon Bartlett son of Ball Bartlett, since they are both
in Oxford Co. Maine. This Solon Bartlett is listed in the Ancestral File on
FamilySearch.org with a birth date of 30 Aug 1845, place Bethel, Oxford Co.
Maine, son of Stephen Bartlett and Martha STEARNS. This Stephen is a brother
of the Solon mentioned above, son of Peregrine. The GEDCOM can be downloaded

Frank & Bertha are in Leominster MA in 1910; I don't see Clarence.
By 1920, Asenath, 80, is living with her daughter Nancy and her
family in Worcester MA. In 1930, I do see an Asenath Bartlett, but she's a
toddler living with her parents and grandmother in Vermont, and her father
was born in Vermont as were his parents. So a connection is not likely.

no father's surname is given, so this could be Mabel's maiden name. It shows

she died in LOS ANGELES(70) on 12/12/1966, age 73. Her SSN was 507-40-7832.

Damn the lack of an 1890 Census! By 1900, I see Solon's older brother Frank
and his wife Bertha and children still living in Boylson. 19 year-old Chester
is Frank and Solon's little brother. So it seems that father John F. is
either so old he cannot support his young son, or has died. Can this be href="">Solon in 1900? Name: C S Bartlett

Phooey, I don't think this is him, because I find Clarence S & Carrie F.
Bartlett in the 1910, still in Gardner. Bummer. Perhaps this Solon did not
live to 1900.

Frank & Bertha are in Leominster MA in 1910; I don't see Clarence.
By 1920, Asenath, 80, is living with her daughter Nancy and her
family in Worcester MA. In 1930, I do see an Asenath Bartlett, but she's a
toddler living with her parents and grandmother in Vermont, and her father
was born in Vermont as were his parents. So a connection is not likely.
Solon born 9 Mar 1893 Nebraska, m. Mabel C. [-?-] b. c1893 in Colorado; s/o
Frank L. & Hattie L., and his son, Solon Jr. b. c Aug 1919, Kansas. I believe
this Solon died 27 Jan 1975, in Los Angeles California.

Where is Solon Jr.? Can he be Junius? Perhaps it is actually "Junior."

California Death Records: BARTLETT, SOLON A

Sex: MALE
Birth Date: 9 Mar 1893

Death Date: 27 Jan 1975
Death Place: LOS ANGELES. I believe this is the same man. An obituary would
tell more.
There is also a death record for Mabel, I think:
BARTLETT, MABEL C, born 05/16/1893, mother's maiden name: BICKFORD, however,
no father's surname is given, so this could be Mabel's maiden name. It shows
her birth state as COLORADO, which is correct. If this is the correct Mabel,
she died in LOS ANGELES(70) on 12/12/1966, age 73. Her SSN was 507-40-7832.
