The Bartlett or Barttelot Family Crest

Richard Barttelot—a descendant of Adam Barttelot, Esquire of Brian, who came over with William the Conqueror—was heir to the estate of Stopham, Co. Sussex, and died in France, in 1518, leaving four sons. William, the eldest, succeeded to his father's estate, and Edmund, another son, inherited the Ernely estate in the same county. He had four sons: Edmund, who succeeded him, and Richard, John and Thomas who left Ernely in 1634, and are stated to have come to America. The coat of arms they brought over is substantially that of the present Barttelots of Stopham, and their kinship is admitted by the present head of the elder branch, Sir Walter B. Barttelot, Bart., of Stopham. Thomas settled in Watertown, Mass., and was known as Ensign Thomas. He left no male issue. Richard and John settled in Newbury, Mass. Some of their descendants acquired great wealth and influence in the country of their adoption.
