Other Events and Attributes:

• Occupation: Abt 1870, Operated ship yard on west side of patchogue creek
• Residence: 1871, Sold Barteau home in Brookhaven and moved to River Avenue, Patchogue, Long Island

Notes:

Was married three times with two (living) children by each marriage. He was tall (6 ft.), dark, good looking, very religious. He was a boat builder and when first married lived at East Haven Conn. Before that he worked at Shelter Island where his first wife came from. After he sold the Brookhaven place in 1871, he and his family lived in Patchogue where he owned a shipyard on the west bank of the creek. William was the last owner of "the old Barteau place".

William married MATTHEWS, Martha on 4 Jul 1855. Martha (daughter of MATTHEWS, William and WILLIAMS, Joanna) was born about 1829 in Redding, CT; died on 16 Feb 1866 in Galveston, Texas; was buried on 17 Feb 1866 in Pottersfield Cemetery, Galveston, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence: Abt 1840, Newtown, CT

Notes:

Martha’s burial record of 1866 states she was buried in Pottersfield cemetery. Of the two Potters Fields in Galveston (Confederate & Black), the date of her death (1866) suggests she was buried in Confederate Pottersfield. After the 1900 hurricane & flood, this cemetery was covered by Oleander Cemetery. If she ever had a headstone, it's unlikely it would still exist, as no family resided in Galveston after her death.
