General Notes: Husband - Robert Bartley

---

He settled in the southeastern part of Penn Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, a few years after his brother, Thomas [1807-1808].

An old settler told that while Bartley was running his distillery, the boys frequently gave him great annoyance, and sometimes aroused his anger. On one occasion, several of them succeeded in giving his family quite a scare. By some means, they had succeeded in obtaining a live possum, and when the family, with several of the neighbors, who were visiting them, were seated at the supper table, the boys climbed quietly upon the roof of the house and dropped the possum down the chimney, square into the big fireplace, where a good fire was blazing. The frightened animal rushed out into the room and flew madly around, his fur blazing and smoking. Consternation ensued; the women and the children screamed, and all were, to say the least, much astonished. The boys were delighted at the success of their mischief and stole away to chuckle over it to their hearts' content.
