April 9, 2013 - Abraham Bartholomew, Son of Isaac & Rebecca Frisbie Bartholomew

Abraham, my sixth great grandfather was the 7th child of Isaac and Rebecca Frisbie Bartholomew.  I'm sharing information found in an intense document that was said to be written by a cousin of my grandmother Irene Carrington Daugherty.  Her grandmother was Mary Montgomery Bartholomew.  Branford is in Connecticut.

In the accompanying set of facts, this first, above, Abraham has been skipped.  I think the writer was confused by the two Abrahams in a row.  The first Abraham, the son of Isaac and Rebecca Frisbie, was b. in Branford, Conn., June 28, 1708.  He died in New Cambridge, Conn., before 1778; married in Branford, June 18, 1730 to Hannah Page, b. in Branford, July 3, 1713.  Hannah died before Oct. 25, 1770, when Abraham married a 2nd wife, Deborah.  Abraham was an extensive farmer and a wealthy man. 

Therefore the below Abraham was the son of Abraham and Hannah Page Bartholomew.  He was the second child of nine children. 

"Abraham, b. in Branford, Jan. 28, 1732, m. in Farmington, to Eunice Orvis.  Died in 1776 in that part of Farmington now called Plainville. Mrs. Eunice d. at the house of her daughter, Hannah Judd, in New Britain, Conn., May ?, 1825. 

Mr. Bartholomew was a farmer.  At the time of his marriage, his father deeded the present town of Burlington, Conn., in consideration of 'love and affection'.  Hearfterward purchased and moved to the farm on which he died.  Widow Eunice was made administrix of his estate, Nov. 28, 1776.  A gravestone was erected in memor of him, his father and nephew Gad, by his brother Jacob, stands in the 'old north cemetery' in Bristol.
