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"

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!
