notes

Date of marriage might specifically be 1730.

From Jerry L. Gehre (posted at http://sites.rootsweb.com/~nyschoha/queriesa.html):

Several of his children fought in the Revolutionary war and eventually received Bounties and/or pensions from service in the Revolutionary War. In addition, one of John Bartholomew's daughters married a Captain Harper, founder of Harpersville, NY. Subsequently, they moved to the Northwest Territory and many of the family relatives followed to the area. I suspect that John Bartholomew and his wife were burried in Schoharie. They migrated to this area from Germantown, Pa.

content to clean up

John is first mentioned in the Philadelphia records, 19 Jan., 1730, when he (Johan Bartholome) purchased of John Henry Kalkglaser, an assignee of the Frankford (Holland) Company, and his wife Agnes 22 1/2 acres of land in Germantown, Pa. On the 28 July following, he "Johan Bartholome of Germantown, wheelwright," and his wife Dorothy, deeded 1 1/2 acres of above with the improvements on the same. In 1736 he deeded "Geo. Herger the Blacksmith," a portion of the same. The clerk, in recording

this deed, was apparently bothered to decipher the witnesses's signatures, and after making a facsimile of them, remarks in coarse lettering "DUTCH." He also sells a larger portion of the same in Feb., 1743, and two months later buys 469 acres in Bethlehem, Hunterdon Co., N.J., which he sold 3 May, 1757. When naturalized in 1740, he is mentioned as a foreigner and preferred to affirm rather than take an oath. He owned other property in both Germantown and Bethlehem. He had the following advertisement* published. "Sept. 1, 1751 - Johan Bartholoma in Philadelphia County makes known that he will sell a plantation of 175 acres of Land. It was formerly an Indian Town, and was called Mussicamickem. There is on it a good dwelling house and a great frame barn. The whole land has many flowing springs by which many meadows can be watered. Many meadows are already made and still more can be made. There are about 80 acres of cleared land well fenced and it has a number of thrifty green hedges. The rest is good woodland and in particular has large poplar trees for sawblocks. There is on it a good bearing orchard; has a good deed: whoever is so inclined may inquire of the owner near the place. Louis-Geschicht. Schreiber."

This shows that he then was living in Germantown; and his appointment 22 Feb., 1768, as administrator of Daniel Bartholomew's (of Amwell Township) estate and his administration account rendered 17 Feb., 1769, show him to have been then a yeoman of Bethlehem Township. The facsimile of his signature is from papers concerning the Bethlehem purchase of 1743. About 1770 he moved with his family to the valley of the Charlotte river then in Tryon Co., but now partly in Schoharie, Oswego and Delaware counties, where he had purchased of Sir Wm. Johnson, a tract of land* containing one thousand acres and probably several other tracts in the present limits of Schoharie County. *This one thousand acre tract lay about equally on the north and south sides of Charlotte River, in the old towns of Canajoharie, now Worcester, and Harpersfield, about equal distance from the present villaqes of Charlottesville and South Worcester, being now owned and occupied by C.W. Martin, P Mitchel and J. Multer, and on which A.S. Gibb Esq, historian of Delaware Co., was born. The section in which this tract lies was long known by the name of "Bartholomew Settlement." Soon after reaching the valley of Charlotte, three of his horses wandered away; two of them being finally found within three and five miles of his former residence in Bethlehem, N.J.

A few years later the terrible troubles with the Indians, British and Tories, which accompanied the Revolutionary War, began and continued from 1777 till 1784. They spending the most of the seven years, especially the latter four, in the Schoharie Fort. Three of his patriotic sons were with Col. John Harper on an expedition against a party of Indians in the early summer of 1777.* The family were active, loyal and brave, and took part in many encounters and expeditions. *See page 82 of the N.Y. Hist. Collections by Barber. Mr. Bartholomew is said to have died at the home of his youngest son Philip in Middleburg, Schoharie Co., N.Y. Mrs. Dorothy, it is said, could not speak English language, therefore the Dutch language only was used in the family. She was the mother of seventeen children. She survived her husband and also died at the residence of her son Philip. The order of the children's births is now known; of sons, "Stanfil," Isaac and Samuel are said to have been killed in the wars.
