====================================================================
ANDREW J. BARTLETT. Cyrus Bartlett was probably born in the Old Dominion and
when a young man came to Tennessee and married Elizabeth Bedford, probably a
native of the State, by whom he had twelve children.  He was a house carpenter
by trade, and many houses are now standing which bear the evidence of his
skillful workmanship.  He was a Whig in politics, but always cast his vote for
Gen. Jackson, because his father fell while serving under him, and the General
took upon himself the education of Cyrus.  In 1876 he died, being nearly
seventy years of age.  The mother is yet living.  Andrew J. Bartlett, the
immediate subject to this sketch, was born in Marshall County, November 2,
1834, and while young received a fair education in the common schools. Having
learned the carpenter's trade, he worked at it until the breaking out of the
war, when he volunteered in Company D, Fourth Tennessee Cavalry, and served
for three and half years, being sergeant-major the greater part of the time.
In 1865 he wedded Martha E. Turner, by whom he has had one child - Alma.  Mr.
and Mrs. Bartlett are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church South.  He is
Democrat, and since 1869 has followed agricultural pursuits, owning at the
present time 150 acres of good land in the garden of Tennessee.

Surnames: Bartlett, Bedford, Turner
