Isaac son of Abraham Bartholomew, b. 1761

My purpose is to go over material that Gram Irene Carrington Daugherty received from a relative of hers. The name Robert Bartholomew from New York state rings a bell in my memory. I believe he didn't have any children. Irene's grandmother was Mary Montgomery Bartholomew.

We're going next to Isaac Bartholomew, Mary's grandfather. He was born in Farmington, Conn. in 1761. Farmington is west of Hartford. He married Lydia Deming Crampton, of Tinmouth, Vermont (she was born in Saybrook, Conn.) The Deming family meets up with branches of our family many, many times. They were married in Tinmouth, Vermont. I couldn't find Tinmouth in my Atlas.Isaac died in Waddington, NY, across the St. Lawrence River from Canada. They are both buried at Sucker Brook, NY. I need to search that community out as well.

Captain Bartholomew enlisted at Hartford, Conn. under Captain William Stanton, in Colonel Elisha Sheldon's regiment of Dragoons, served during the Revolutionary War, and was made corporal in 1782. He also served in the War of 1812. Isaac was a farmer in Bristol, Conn. then New Cambridge, Conn. About 1786 the family moved to Tinmouth, Vermont and in 1801 moved to Waddinton, St. Lawrence County, New York. He was the first militia captain commissioned in St. Lawrence County. He was a whig and his brothers were Democrats.

Lydia and Isaac had 10 children. Luman, fought in War of 1812, Laura, Polly, (married John Montgomery...could that be where Mary got her middle name?), Isaac (my third great grandfather), Minerva, Roswell, Truman, Julia, Sally (died young), and Charles Dening. Some of Charles family included the mayor of Lansing, Mich., and city engineer there, and a doctor and county coriner.

Isaac, Jr. was born in Tinmouth, Vermont in 1791 and married Thirza Houghton in 1818. Isaac died in Potsdam, NY (a bit south of Waddington)1872. Thirza was born in New Hampshire, 1799 and died in 1881. They built a log cabin near Sucker Brook, Waddington County. Isaac enlisted in the War of 1812 in the 15th New York Militia and he was made a sargeant. He later resided in Waddington and Potsdam as a farmer.
There were 12 children born to this family, Sarah, James, John Houghton, Eliza, Betsy, Giles, Minerva, Julia, Mary Montgomerty (2nd great grandmother,) Jerome Trueman (died as an infant), Lewis (twin of Lucius...committed suicide), and Lucius. Lucius should not be confused with Lucius Carrington, whom would be Mary's son.
