BARTEAU, Francis

Notes:

From Edna Valentine:

Both he and his wife died at an early age from "galloping consumption" and were buried in the family graveyard near the house until their son, Wm. Marshall Barteau, had the bodies moved and reburied in Patchogue when he sold the place in the late 1860s and moved his family to River Ave, Patchogue, LI.

Buried:
According to notes from Edna Valentine, Francis and Sarah were originally buried in the Barteau Cemetery, and later moved by their son, William, to Cedar Grove in Patchogue.

Francis married OVERTON, Sarah on 12 Jan 1822 in Middle Island Presbyterrian Church. Sarah (daughter of OVERTON, John and HOMAN, Elisabeth) was born on 8 Jul 1801; died on 26 Aug 1854; was buried in Cedar Grove, Patchogue, Suffolk, New York, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

From Edna Valentine:

"Mrs. Corwin(sp), "cousin Maria", told me that Francis and Sarah were very fond of books and in the evening would sit in the doorway and read to each other. They lived in the "Old Barteau Place" on South County Road at top of hill in Brookhaven. She also said that people would come to Sall for the recipes because she was known all over as a very good cook."

Notes:

From Edna Valentine:

Francis served as Minute Man from Suffolk Co. in Col. Josiah Smith's regiment. Captain Selah Strong's Co. In the original muster roll which, when I saw it, belonged to Mr. Conklin Havens of Moriches, the name was spelled Barto but in the printed list they mistook the o for an s and it was Barts. When Registrar of Ellin Hardin Walworth Chapter , DAR, I wrote to the National Registrar about it but never heard if anything was done. This is duplicate of the origin 1 entry with names surrounding it

Joseph Homan 1 gun, 23 cartridges (Nettie's Ancestor)
Francis Barto 1 gun, 19 cartridges
Daniel Brown

In my application for DAR another person had entered on the same ancestor and the birth of Francis is filled in: 1748. I do not know if that is correct but he made his will Feb 4, 1810 and it was proved Feb 26/1810. His wife had died.

Another captain in that company was Captain Nathan Rose. Anyone descending from Francis and Jemima Barteau may enter DAR on National No. 165364.

Excerpts from will of Francis Bartow:

To my daugher Jemima 1 cow, 4 sheep, 2 beds and bedding with all her mother's clothes in the house. To my sons Francis and John all the rest of my property both real and personal to be divided equally between them.
Executors: Nathan Post, Nathaniel Hawkins Jr., John Rose Esq.

Wittnesses: Elisabeth Ketcham (daughter of Captain Nathan Rose), David Carter jr., James Rnadal.

Proved Feb 26, 1810

Recorded in Suffolk CO Surrogate's Office in Liber C p.68

The property which Francis Barteau devised in his will lay on both sides of the main road from Brookhaven to Bellport. Francis had the north portion where the "old Barteau place" still stands. Miss Harriet Rose, an old lady over 80 when I talked to her about 1920 said that "no good could be said of John and nothing BUT good of Francis". She still lived in the old Rose homestead which land lay alongside of that owned by John Barteau and I gained that her father and his neighbor had "land trouble"

Francis married TURNER, Jemima in 1774. Jemima died before 1810. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

From Edna Valentine:

At this date (1950) I have no more on Jemima except guess work. There was a family of Turner in or around Yaphank in the census of 1790. There were Turners in Mariches later. The most likely family seems to me to be one that is mentioned in BH Town Records! "Fire Place, Jan 4, 1802 Petition to build a schoolhouse between house of late Scudder Ketcham an the lot of land owned by John Turner "The old Ketcham Place" was about where house of Mrs. JL Valentine now stands. I think Scudder Ketcham was grandefather of the Ketchams - Timothy? - living there later in the newer house now owned by Desmond Nelson. Therefore: the families certainly lived within courting distance! In the 1790 census John Turner, 2 sons and 1 daughter is mentioned.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence: Hempstead
• Residence: 1741, Fire Place, Long Island, New York

Francis married MORRIS, Margaret in 1733. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

From Edna Valentine's Notes:

Francois (1) and Mary with their 9 children are mentioned as coming from France in 1657. Francis (2) and John (2) must have been the brothers who came from Paris (also mentioned in another account) and settled in Huntington; or elese they were grandsons of the first Francois. If Francois came here in 1657 with 9 children it is not likely that the Francis & John whose children were born 1710 - 1715 were among those 9 children. Another generation should come in here. We will leave that problem unsolved for a time.

Francois and Marie with 9 children came from France by way of Holland in 1657. As they were mentioned with the GUenon family in the records of Flushing and Jamaica, they may have come on the same ship, the Dreadvat and possibly from the same place. Although they are supposed to have come from Brittany (Bretagne).

In the annals of Flushing (page 2) Francis Barteau, Mary his wiefe and 3 children John, Francis and Abigail. If that Francis and Mary were children of Francois (1) then John, Francis, and Abigail would be generation 3 and the date more nearly believable. Edith Barteau Toombs genealogy is the same as Sherman Barteau's with this addition: it notes Francis as b. 1675 THe fact that the first generations were name Francis and John doesn't make it any clearer either!
