ROBERT BARTOL, son of George and Mary (Bayless) Bartol, natives of Harford 
County, Md., was born December 23, 1814, in Harford County, Md.  He remained with 
his parents until he was sixteen years of age, when he learned the tanner’s trade 
in Baltimore.  He moved to York County, Penn., in 1834, and bought a farm of 136 
acres, which he has since cultivated in connection with tanning.  He was married 
in 1841 to Mary Kurtz, who died in 1864.  His second marriage was in 1871 to Mary 
Quinlan, daughter of Philip and Mary Quinlan, of Harford County, Md.  He had 
twelve children, ten of whom are living:  Sarah, George, James, Robert, Charles, 
Mary E., John, Corinne M., Nathaniel, Robert, Imogene and Joseph.  Mr. Bartol has 
held several prominent school positions in the Township.  He is a brother of 
Judge Bartol, chief justice of the court of appeals of Maryland.
