BARTLA, BARTLYE, BARTLY OR BARTLEY - The name is variously spelt depending upon the exposure and background of the recording clerk who is keeping the records. Thus it must be looked for under a variety of spellings even for and within the same family and family memebers. And we haven't even began to look at Bartlet or Bartlett. Now Mary Bartley, the wife of Zacharias Collett, father's name is Hannibal Bartley. With a name like that he ought to be easy to track down and keep track. That is if you allow for the various spelling of his name, both his first name and last name. As for their geographic travels, the family begins in East Newlyn, moves to St Columb Minor, then to Gorran and finally to Philleigh where they run into the Collett family of Philleigh. Their longest stent of stay was in St Columb Minor. And though Hannibal Bartley, my fifth great grandfather was buried at Philleigh parish, he was living at and his last Will & Testament was written as him being of Ruanlanyhorne which is next to Philleigh to its north on the east as seen also in the map.

Our own Bartley family vacates the regions of St Columb Minor in a seemingly large jump to Gorran and then west via Ruan Lanihorne to Philliegh and but for the name of Hannibal they might have become lost. Another of our cousin branches seem to take a more gradual path through such as Newlyn East, St Erme and thence on south to Philleigh as well as will be seen upon one of our cousin pages.

And then there is the other side of the coin in that some like to make of the name a French related spelling as BARTLET or BARTLETT, which for generations it will be seen that it is not, as it is held in the local parish records almost exclusively as BARTLEY.


BARTLEY COUSINS



Our BARTLEY Ancestors

Now the name of Bartley or Bartley, sometimes written by some as Bartlet or even Bartlett after the French rendition of the phonetics of the name, is wide spread with some known seemingly originating centers. One such center is about St. Columb Minor, where for a number of generations the Bartley family and name did prevail until such sicknesses and poor conditions did dictate that such as would survive would need to remove themselves from thence and into other parts of the county. It is there that the family can look to such as Alexander Bartley, commonly called Sandry, did stand as a patriarch to the family that would from him descend. It is fortunate that we are able through the relatively unique name of Hanniball have some aid in following our descent. For without such we could get caught up in the 'ease' of follow a course of seemingly parish fits in the place of what really is. We will begin with the family of our 4th great grandmother, Mary Bartley, the daughter of our 5th great grandparents Hannibal Bartley and Mary Henna.

5th Great Grandparents

Hannibal Bartley & Mary Henna (first wife)
and
Hannibal Bartley and Elizabeth Handcock (second wife)


Now DON'T confuse this with the next generation and the TWO Thomas Bartley families with the two singular wifes of Elizabeth Benny to the one and Mary Benney to the other. Hannibal Bartley did have two separate wives and it is quite clear who the children of the one wife are and who are the children of the other wife.

* It looks as though Hannibal returns to the family church graveyard of St Columb Minor to 
  bury his first wife after her early death. After his marriage to his second wife and their 
  many children together, they are both buried together at Philleigh, the family's then 
  established home. It certainly would be strange to find Mary buried there at Philliegh when
  the early family had not even arrived there at the point of her death.

Thomas Bartley and Mary Benney Family

6th Great Grandparents


The mixing of the families of two separate people by the name of 'Thomas Bartley' is still yet to be unscrambled in the LDS records of 'Family Search'. The mistake comes early in attempting to allocate all who record 'Thomas Bartley' as father but to one 'Thomas Bartley', which a more through and detailed search reveals that there is at least two. The Thomas Barley who marries Elizabeth Benny in 1696 have a son named William, likely after that Thomas Bartley's father, William Bartley as depected next. That particular William Bartley can be seen on one of our Bartley cousin pages as being a cousin to the other Thomas Bartley, but he is not the same. His wife Elizabeth Benny does appear to live until 1732, thus he IS NOT free to marry again in 1698 to another. Thus IT IS a differnt Thomas Bartley, our Thomas Bartley who does marry Mary Benney in 1698. And thank goodness that we can further follow the distinction because of the name of Hannibal, that is this OTHER Thomas Bartley, OUR Thomas Bartley does name one of his sons by the name of Hannabal Bartley after his father Hannibal Bartley. A careful study of the parish records aids in that the last two children they record as this Thomas Bartley and HIS WIFE Mary Benney states that these are the children of Thomas and Mary. It would be nice if the parish records would always give both parents names, but we are thankful what at least this to be found in them which helps us keep our line straight.

* The real difficulty is not coming to the realization that there are TWO 'Thomas Bartley' famlies,
  the real trouble comes with just how do you decide to divide up the children among the TWO 'Thomas
  Bartley' famlies?

* There is another marriage for Thomas Bartley, 7 October 1696 at St Comumb Minor to an 
Elizabeth Benny. There is also another Thomas Bartley, baptism 9 April 1667 at St Columb
Minor, son of William Bartley. This leaves some possibilities open to consideration.

   There is one for John if his name was John Thomas Bartley? Otherwise Thomas Bartley just
