I am looking for the parents of Robert Bartlett born 19 July 1786 in Colchester, New London, Ct and died in Lockport, Wills County, Illinois 10 April 1853. He married Veralle Newton in Dec 1811. The family believes they are descendants of Josiah Bartlett, the famous one, but I have not yet made that connection. Does anyone have information on parents of Robert.

jthills;

Josiah BARTLETT, the Signer, only had 2 surviving sons who had children, and neither was your Robert BARTLETT.
