Edmund Bartlett was born July 25, 1795, in Northampton, Massachusetts. He was a soldier of the War of 1812, entering as a private and passing through the intermediate grades to the rank of first sergeant. He subsequently took much interest in military matters, became an enthusiastic student of military tactics, and afterward colonel of a regiment of Massachusetts Light Infantry, at the head of which he escorted Gen. LaFayette into Northampton in the last visit of the distinguished nobleman to the United States, 1824.

On the 6th of December, 1821, he married Laura Randall, a lady of superior education and many accomplishments, who was born July 2, 1795 in Worthington, Berkshire County, Mass.
