• Notes

  m1 Shuah HEARD (15 Jan 1694), d/o Capt. John HEARD and Phebe LITTLEFIELD Phebe (LITTLEFIELD) HEARD, Maj. Charles FROST and Dennis DOWNING were killed by Indians at Ambush Rock, in that part of Kittery, now Eliot, on Sunday, 4th July, 1697, while returning on horseback from the meeting house in the Parish of Unity, in the Precinct of Berwick, where they had attended divine service. A bronze tablet marks this spot. The body of Phebe LITTLEFIELD HEARD was buried in the old burying ground upon the farm in Eliot, belonging to the heirs of Sylvester BARTLETT. A bronze tablet also marks this spot. —— CAPT. NATHAN BARTLET, b. in Newbury, 23d December, 1691; d. 1775; moved to that part of Kittery, now Eliot, in 1713. Captain Bartlet was a ganner and did a prosperous business. He purchased in 1725 60 acres of land at Sturgeon Creek of John WITTUM for £250. The following year he bought 20 acres of land of Peter WITTUM, paying therefor £100. An old deed from John HEARD to his son-in-law, Capt. Nathan BARTLET, in 1725, gives him a tract of land at Third Hill with one- half part of Stoney Brook and one-third part of a saw-mill built by James EMERY and Maj. Charles FROST adding this note "that it is to be understood that the above given and granted premises are not to be reckoned as any part of my daughter, Shuah's, portion." This land and other land which he purchased became the homestead place of his descendants. Captain BARTLET built (about 1718) a brick house near John HEARD'S home, the present site of the Bartlett homestead, making the bricks on his land bordering on Sturgeon Creek. This brick house was partially destroyed by an earthquake about 1737, and Captain BARTLET built about 1740 the oak timbered two and a half story Colonial house, now standing, in which five generations of the Bartlett family have been born and reared.
