From "The Tyler Genealogy: The Descendants of Job Tyler, of Andover..." volume 1, page 274 we are informed that Hannah is the daughter of Jonathan Bartlett and a descendant of Josiah Bartlett, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. (link - https://books.google.com/books?id=9Zs-AAAAYAAJ&pg=PA274&lpg...)

I have looked through Amesbury (Mass.) VR for a Jonathan born at roughly the same time as Josiah. Hannah was born in 1768 so Jonathan could have been born as late as 1735.

Any help in finding her parents would be greatly appreciated.

"Massachusetts Births and Christenings, 1639-1915", database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VQX2-DVZ : 15 January 2020), Jonathan Bartlett in entry for Hannah Bartlett, 1766.

When Jonathan Bartlett was born on 20 November 1738, in Bradford, Essex, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America, his father, Christopher Bartlett, was 34 and his mother, Esther Kelly, was 31. He married Mehitable Hull on 6 October 1762, in Sutton, Worcester, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America. They were the parents of at least 3 sons and 6 daughters. He died on 17 September 1831, in Amesbury, Essex, Massachusetts, United States, at the age of 92, and was buried in Union Cemetery, Amesbury, Essex, Massachusetts, United States.

Not a descendant, but yes, related.

Jonathan Bartlett is Josiah Bartlett, Signer of the "Declaration of Independence"'s first cousin once removed.

Thanks for finding Jonathan.

When I looked at the death record in Amesbury, I noticed a problem - the age at death. (https://ma-vitalrecords.org/MA/Essex/Amesbury/aDeathsB.shtml "(BARTLETT (Bartlet)) Jonathan, Sept. 17, 1831. [Dec. 17, a. 42 y. GR1]") Unless it's a misread of the gravestone - 42 instead of 92.

Looks like a different Jonathan Bartlett because the tombstone is very clear: ae 42.

The Jonathan that belongs to that gravestone is from Amesbury VR "Jonathan, s. Jacob and Rhoda, June 30, 1789." Amesbury marriages has "Jacob, and Rhoda Huntington, int. Nov. 5, 1785." She is the daughter of Jacob Huntington and Elizabeth Goodwin. No profiles in Geni for any of them in my Google searches.

Yes, it’s “late” for geni profiles. The immediate issue is validating Hannah Tyler parents, and we should be looking for her birth record in Worcester County - or Essex County - or New Hampshire. :).

And found Hannah in both Pembroke NH & Worcester NH

https://ma-vitalrecords.org/MA/Worcester/Worcester/aBirthsB.shtml BARTLETT, Elizabeth, d. Jonathan and Mehitable, Apr. 15, 1764. Hannah, d. Jonathan and Mehitable, Mar. 30, 1766. “Asterisks (*) indicated first Church Baptisms …”

Either there’s a 1st Hannah died young, or the Worcester record is baptism for the only Hannah b at Pembroke, which probably didn’t have a church yet.

But let’s find a history of Pembroke.

There is A History of Pembroke available in Google books.

He’s mentioned, but it’s his brother who’s the bigger wheel in town. Veteran, selectman …
