Taylor-Bartleson Family

Maryland, Delaware, North Carolina to Kentucky

Hannah Bartleson (1760-aft 1804), wife of Thomas "Little Tom" Taylor (1756-1844)

Daughter of Richard Bartleson (1717-1787), & wife Jane Groom (1731-1803)

The Colony of New Sweden (Delaware), 1638

Sarah Groom (aka Jean Grooms) tombstone in Bartleson-Miller Ceme. on a farm, Cooper-Sumpter Road, near Monticello, Wayne Co., KY, inscribed, "Here liest the body of Jane Bartleson, who departed this life Dec 23 day 1803 and in the seventyeth year of her age."

Jane Groom was the daughter of John Groom, born ca 1700 at Wilmington, DE, in what had been the Colony of New Sweden. Nothing more is known about him. Jane married Richard Bartleson, 6 Mar 1747, in Holy Trinity Church, New Castle, DE. He was the son of Zacharias Bartleson and grandson of Andrew/Andorcas Bartleson. His great-grandfather Bertel Eskillson and great-great-grandfather Eskil Larsson (following the patronymic naming pattern) came on the third shipload from Sweden to the Colony of New Sweden at Wilmington, arriving in 1641, aboard the Kalmar Nyckle. Their wives or womenfolk were not mentioned. The men had been "convicted of burning the forest" and sentenced to go to New Sweden as punishment. Burning to clear a plot in the forest for planting rye had long been common practice, but with a new king became illegal.

Our family immigrated 1641 to New Sweden, Wilmington, DE, from Stockholm via Gothenberg, Sweden. "The Swedish government did its best to encourage Swedes to migrate to America to strengthen the colony, but colonists were as much a problem for the third expedition as they were for the second. Not enough interest could be generated to induce Swedish families to pull up stakes and leave their homeland. Then a new idea took shape. Why not punish those forest-burning Finns for disobeying Swedish laws by sending them to America? "While the effort was being made to round up itinerant Finns, an incident occurred involving four Finns sentenced to have their property confiscated and to serve in the Swedish army for burning the forests. The four agreed that if they were released from service in the army they would go to New Sweden, and permission was given for their transfer. Their property was supposed to be restored if they appeared at Gothenburg ready for the voyage. "When the Charitas left Stockholm there were thirty-five persons aboard, including Lieutenant Kling and his family. Some were Finns and others Swedes, although their ethinic identities were not stated. Apparently individual arrangements were made with each prospective colonist; some were to be paid by the company as employees; some went on their own; some were given a small cash bounty before boarding the vessel. It was a rare instance where the names were recorded and general comments made about the persons themselves. Those comments have been abbreviated below to give the reader some understanding of the character of the colonists on that expedition: (list of various trades and names . . . ESKEL LARSSON, a deserter from the army, sent for punishment . . . "The personnel and animals sailed from Stockholm to Gothenburg. "On that voyage the Kalmar Nyckel served principally as a carrier of personnel and a warship to protect the Charitas from freebooters. Neither vessel carried gold or silver, but their animals and cargoes constituted commodities that a privateer could seize and readily sell in the Caribbean Islands. The two vessels left Gothenburg in July, the Kalmar Nyckel under the command of Andrian Jansen, a Dutchman from Saardam, and the Charitas under the command of Jan Jochimsen from Kappell Schleswig-Holstein . . . "The colonists at Fort Christina were overjoyed on November 7, 1641, to see the two Swedish vessels entering the mouth of the Minquas Kill, and Ridder [commander of the fort] was delighted when the cargoes were unloaded with foodstuffs, bags of seeds, tools, building supplies, merchandise for the Indian trade, and the long-awaited farm animals. Almost everything he had requested was on the vessels, and, generally speaking, the new colonists provided most of the skills then needed. [For the new arrivals] New log cabins were built outside the fort on plots selected for settlement, and new land cleared and prepared for spring planting . . ."

As more settlers arrived, some families and military moved across the Delaware River to New Salem, NJ, and that's where Richard was born in 1717. Richard and Jane had 8 children, of which 7 were born in NJ and the 9th may have been born in Rowan Co., NC, where Richard was on the 1768 taxlist.

The Holy Trinity Church records are still extant and record the marriage of Jane to Richard.

The Colony of New Sweden in America
Doris Johnston

Sweden in the 17th century was one of Europe's "Great Powers," militarily and politically. By mid-century, the kingdom included part of Norway, all of Finland, stretched into Russia, and her control of parts of modern Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania and Germany made the Baltic Sea essentially a Swedish lake.

Perhaps inspired by the riches other Great Powers from their overseas colonies, Sweden sought to extend its influence to the New World. Scandinavian heritage in the Delaware Valley dates back to 1638.
• 1607 English colony at Jamestown, Virginia.
• 1620 Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts.
• 1624 Dutch established New Netherland in New York.
• 1633, former Massachusetts colonists settled in Connecticut.
• 1634, Maryland was settled by Catholic gentlemen and Protestant laborers.
• 1636, Rhode Island was settled by banished Massachusetts colonists.

In 1637, the New Sweden Company was formed by Swedish, Dutch and German stockholders to trade for furs and tobacco in North America. The first expedition sailed from Sweden in late November 1637 in two ships, Kalmar Nyckel and Fogel Grip, headed by Peter Minuit, who as governor of New Netherland 1626-31 bought Manhattan Island in 1626 from natives for trinkets worth $24.

The North Sea was dangerous in wintertime, with its treacherous icebergs, so the ships took a southern route, through the English Channel to the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa, west to the Caribbean, and north to Delaware Bay in March 1638.

The tall ship Kalmar Nyckel, a Swedish-owned, Dutch-built three-masted armed warship, brought the first permanent European settlers to the Delaware Valley. She sailed from Goteborg, Sweden, in November of 1637, carrying 24 settlers from four countries -- Sweden, Finland, Holland, and Germany -- and a black freedman from the Caribbean, Anthoni, "the Black Swede." A replica of the Kalmar Nyckel was built in 1998 by the Kalmar Nyckel Foundation, is based at Fort Christina, and is available for passenger rides @ $5 to Lewes, DE, and other ports of call, or for private charter.

They landed March 29th 1638 on the banks of the Christina River, a tributary of the mighty Delaware River. The Colony of New Sweden was founded with its capital at Tinicum Island.

These 25 settlers from different countries, speaking different languages and blending different cultures, built the first log cabins in America -- a typical Finnish form of building -- and a fort at the site of present-day Wilmington, Delaware. They named it Fort Christina, in honor of Sweden's 12-year-old queen. It was the first permanent European settlement in the Delaware Valley.

When the Kalmar Nyckel returned two years later with women and children, all 25 settlers were alive and well!

Kalmar Nyckel made four documented round-trip crossings of the Atlantic, more than any other "settlers' ship" of the era. It was as important to Delaware Bay settlement as the Mayflower was to Massachusetts.

During the next seventeen years, twelve more Swedish expeditions left the homeland for New Sweden. A total of eleven vessels and some 600 Swedes and Finns reached their destination. The colony eventually consisted of farms and small settlements along both banks of the Delaware into modern Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland.

Tracing descent from the original Swedish and Finnish immigrants is difficult since most immigrants had no surname. They used the patronymic naming system, by which the sons and daughters took the first name of their father, adding "son" or "dotter." In some cases a family surname was not selected for two generations.

In 1641, the Third Expedition from Sweden included among passengers aboard the Charitas and Kalmar Nyckel my ancestors Eskil Larsson, one of the "forest destroying Finns," of the Parish of Lund in Vermland, enlisted for punishment in the soldiery and permitted by a local governor to emigrate, and his son Bartel Eskilson, who became a freeman in 1648.

Skogsfinnarna (called Forest Finns) were Finnish-speaking people who came to Värmland from Savo, a border province between Protestant Finland (part of Sweden) and Orthodox Russia. They practiced huuhta (cultivated rye in the ashes of burned spruce forest), encouraged by Swedish monarchs in the 1500s-early 1600s to clear ground for farm use. By 1640, their Swedish neighbors complained about the burnings, and soon the Forest Finns eagerly volunteered for the voyages to New Sweden.

Holy Trinity Church in Wilmington, oldest Christian congregation in the Delaware Valley, traces its origins to 1640 when the first services led by a priest of the Church of Sweden were held at Ft. Christina. It was the first of eight Old Swedes Churches which served this colony in Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland.

Some of Holy Trinity's original parish registers are extant and list births, deaths, marriages, baptisms for parishioners.

New Sweden rose to its greatest heights when Johan Printz was governor (1643-1653). He extended settlement north from Fort Christina along both sides of the Delaware and improved the colony's military and commercial prospects by building Fort Elfsborg, near present-day Salem on the New Jersey side of the river, to seal the Delaware against English and Dutch ships. Despite these steps, the Swedish and Finnish colonists lived peacefully with their Dutch and Lenni Lenape neighbors.

Bertel Eskils, son of Eskil Larsson, our ancestors, had a deed recorded as "7br ye 2 Day 1675: Laid out for henrick John & Bertell Esskells two peace or persells of Land situated lying and being on the West side of the Delawar River on a Creek runing out of the said River Comonly Knowe & Called Ams Land or Mill Creek the one peace of Land begining at a Cornr of a frisch which devides & partes henrick Thatens Land from this Land Runing NW . . . John Cornelis & Marton Martosen . . . ."

The first settled pastor in South Jersey was assigned as Garrison priest at Fort Elfsborg in 1643. We can't always tell when some of the settlers relocated across in New Jersey, except when referred to as "over the River" when sponsoring a child's baptism. The passage across the wide Delaware River was treacherous and impossible in bad weather, not so far south of where Washington later crossed the Delaware at Trenton, NJ.

In Philadelphia, Gloria Dei Church traces its roots to the church on Tinicum Island dedicated in 1646 by a missionary whose translation of Martin Luther's Small Catechism was the very first book published in the Algonquin language. Its present building at Wicaco (South Philadelphia), consecrated in 1700, is the oldest church in Pennsylvania and a National Historic site.

In 1653, Sweden's Queen Christina agreed to answer Johan Printz's repeated pleas for more men and supplies. Two vessels, Örnen (Eagle) and Gyllene Hajen (Golden Shark), were recruited for duty, and preparations were made to replenish the far-off New Sweden colony.

She commissioned Sven Skute, who recruited 50 soldiers and 250 colonists for the voyage. He was especially successful finding colonists in the forested area of northern Värmland (Forest Finns were actually Swedes).

The Golden Shark was damaged and unable to make the Atlantic crossing. The Eagle set sail from Gothenburg harbor on the icy, winter morning of 2 February 1654. Aboard were 350 souls, including Peter Mårtensson Lindeström, who described this voyage in his famous work Geographia Americae, and Johan Risingh, destined to become the last governor of New Sweden.

Overcrowding, poor sanitation and illness combined to take their toll on the ship's passengers and crew. When the Eagle, after a four-month voyage, dropped anchor at Fort Christina on 22 May 1654, more than 100 people had perished.

Unfortunately, Governor Printz's autocratic rule left many settlers dissatisfied. A petition for reform was branded a "mutiny," but did lead to that Governor's return to Sweden. But after his departure and the loss of New Sweden to the Dutch, the Swedish and Finnish settlers in what was called "West Jersey" had to worship on the other side of the Delaware.

In 1654, Governor Printz was succeeded by the colony's last governor, Johan Risingh, at a time when the Dutch capitol of New Amsterdam was ruled by the hot-tempered, one-legged Peter Stuyvesant.

Soon after arriving in New Sweden, Risingh attempted to remove the Dutch from the colony by seizing Fort Casimir (present-day New Castle, Delaware), below Fort Christina on the western shore of the river. With no gunpowder, Fort Casimir surrendered without a shot and was re-named Fort Trinity.

The furious Governor Stuyvesant had his revenge the following summer, when seven armed Dutch ships and 317 soldiers appeared on the Delaware River. Realizing that resistance would be useless, the vastly outnumbered Swedes surrendered Fort Trinity, and Governor Risingh surrendered Fort Christina two weeks later.

Swedish sovereignity over New Sweden was at an end, but the Swedish and Finnish presence was very much in evidence. In fact, Governor Stuyvesant permitted the colonists to continue as a "Swedish Nation" and be governed by a court of their choosing, be free to practice their religion, organize their own militia, retain their land holdings and continue trading with the native people.

Overwhelmed by a surprise English attack, he surrendered New Netherland to England in 1664.

This independent "Swedish Nation" continued until 1681 when the Englishman, William Penn received his charter for Pennsylvania and the three lower counties, present-day Delaware.

Swedes and Finns continued to settle in New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania, but did not begin to arrive in large numbers until the 19th century. Due to poor economic conditions in Sweden and the availability of cheap land in the American west, Swedish immigration was highest between 1867 and 1914 -- At its peak in the 1880s, an average of 37,000 Swedes came to the United States each year.

Most of the new settlers bypassed New Sweden and headed west to Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, California and Washington, which remain the states with the largest numbers of Swedish-Americans today.

Today, Holy Trinity Church, the Kalmar Nyckle, and perhaps the oldest stone house in North America, Hendrickson House (built about 1690 on land once owned jointly by Bartle Eskilson and Johan Hendricksson and his sons, Hendrick and Johan Johansson, who survived the Eagle voyage in 1654), can be visited at Fort Christina Park near downtown Wilmington. They are supported in part by the Swedish Colonial Society, which has Active, Life, and Forefather members. There are no current Forefather members on descent of Eskil Larsson or Bertel Eskilson.

Meanwhile, Eskil Larsson's son Bartle Eskilson named John Bartleson as his only son in an undated Chester Co., PA, deed.

• 1677 list of tithable males from Cobbs Creek to Crum Creek included John and Andries Bertelsen, his son. • 1679, their names were in court records in Chester Co., PA. • 1691, Andrew Bartleson left a will in Salem Co., NJ, naming wife Catherine and children. • 1713-14, his son Zacharias and wife Sarah "over the river" were sponsors of several baptisms. • 1717, their son Richard Bartleson was born in Salem Co., NJ. • 1729, Zacharias Bartleson left a will in Salem Co., leaving wife Sarah and 6 children. • 1746, Richard Bartleson married Jane (Jeane) Grooms at Holy Trinity Church in Wilmington, DE. • 1756, Richard and wife Jean of Mannington, Salem Co., NJ, sold their land. • 1768, Richard Bartleson was on a list of taxables in Rowan Co., NC, in "The New Jersey settlement" near present-day Linden, Davidson Co., NC. • 1778, Richard was listed in Rowan Co. Court Minutes as one of 577 persons "who refused or neglected" to take the Oath of Allegiance to the State." Also listed was Francis Taylor, so it appears they were Loyalists in the Revolution. • 1778, Richard wrote a will naming his wife Jane, three sons, and six daughters. • In 1782, their daughter Mary Jane "Jane" Bartleson married Thomas "Little Tom" Taylor, a neighbor of Squire Boone, probably in Rowan Co., NC; she was the mother of his first three children (Grooms, Tarleton, and Grace Taylor). She died abt 1784, and 1784-85 Thomas Taylor married her sister Hannah Bartleson (widow of James Howard). They had six more children. • In 1787, Richard Bartleson's will was probated in Rowan Co. • Abt 1785, Thomas Taylor and his father (Maj. Francis Taylor III, 1734-1814) and kinfolk followed the Boones over the mountains to Cumberland Co., KY. They settled in Madison and Wayne Cos. The Bartleson family joined them. • 1803, Jane Groom Bartleson died and was buried on the old family farm near Monticello, Wayne Co., KY, a few miles from Boonesborough. It was a thrill to find the tombstone of this hardy pioneer Delaware, New Jersey, North Carolina, Kentucky ancestor, intact, though many in the cemetery have been trampled and broken by cattle because the fence is down.

Thomas "Little Tom" Taylor was born ca 1756-1760 in Anne Arundel Co., MD, or in VA, en route to his parents settling in Rowan Co., NC. There he md. in 1782. From there, he moved to Madison Co., KY.

Our ancestor Thomas "Little Tom" Taylor married two of Richard and Jane's daughters. First, in 1782, Mary Jane "Jane" Bartleson, mother of his first three children. At her death he married 2nd abt 1785 her sister, Hannah Bartleson (widow of a James Howard), mother of his remaining six children. Thomas "Little Tom" Taylor married a 3rd time, to Elizabeth Vincent, 14 Dec 1814 in Madison Co., KY. He died in Madison Co. in 1844.

The first KY census available, 1810, lists in Madison Co. a John Taylor and William Taylor (with young sons), William marked "son of Little Tom," a Thomas Taylor designated "Big Tom," a Thomas Taylor "Little Tom," and a Joseph Taylor.

On the preceding census page were several other Taylors -- Edmund, William, Sarah, James, and Talton.

Thomas and Hannah's son Benjamin F. Taylor's children included Tarleton Jones Taylor, who in 1856 came to "New Kentucky" in Grayson Co., Texas, from Harrison Co., Kentucky, bringing thoroughbred horses. Tarleton's oldest son, Ferdinando San Francisco Taylor, was the father of Erie Catharine Taylor, my grandmother.

Thomas's brother, Francis Taylor IV, married Sarah Bartleson, a sister of Thomas's wives.
