Nelson BARTLETT, one of a family of two sons and six daughters born to Dexter BARTLETT, was born in Rutland, Vt., June 28, 1813. Dexter BARTLETT with his family left Vermont in 1825, coming to Buffalo on the first boat which came through after the canal was finished.

... Nelson BARTLETT was but twelve years old when his father settled in Otto and he well remembers the privations the early settlers underwent.  In 1838 he bought an article of twenty-five acres of land in the western part of the town, which he still owns, and which is now increased to a farm of 276 acres.  That same year he married Aroline, daughter of Davis BENEDICT, another of the pioneers who came into the town in 1822.  They have three sons and one daughter, all married.  One son, Judson C., was in the 64th N. Y. Vols. three years.  In I870 he bought a pleasant residence in Otto village.  He has served his town as an officer in the past and was again elected an assessor for three years in Feb., 1893.
