The immigrant ancestor of the Bartletts in this genealogy -- John -- appeared first in colonial records in 1666 as a resident of Weymouth, Massachusetts. He moved with his family to Mendon (Worcester County) in 1671, and then to Rehoboth (in a section later incorporated as part of Cumberland, Rhode Island) in 1682.

Robert Beverley, subsequently known as "Major Beverley," came to Virginia in 1663. He settled in Middlesex County about twenty miles from Jamestown and soon became prominent in the colony. Said the editors of this genealogy (published after the death of its author): "It should be … an incentive to worthy achievement to know that one's ancestor in the person of Robert Beverley, the immigrant, won by his courage and leadership the unstinted praise of Governor Berkeley in the Bacon Rebellion in Virginia in 1676 and that later as Clerk of the House of Burgesses, in steadfast loyalty to that body he refused to surrender its records to the King's Commissioners.
