Description:
According to William Guthman's notes, Nathaniel Bartlett was a Captain from Hadley, Massachusetts during the 1755 expedition to Crown Point, New York. A search of records at the Massachusetts State Archives shows he was more likely from Plymouth, Massachusetts, and is shown as being in Albany during 1755.
