A veteran of the War of 1812, during which he was commissioned a colonel in the NY State Militia, James P. Bartle, the son of Andrew and Chloe (nee Hicks) Bartle, was always addressed as "Col. Bartle". In 1820, six years after the war's end, he moved to the Newark, NY, area, where he became the managing partner in the extensive business firm Norton, Bartle & McNeil. Capitalizing on lucrative opportunities provided by the Erie Canal, Bartle became involved in shipping, boat-building, and general merchantile trade. He built Newark's first store, and was a silent partner in John Daggett's foundry, the area's first successful industry. A leader in the Freemasons, Bartle was also active in civic affairs. In addition to being Newark's first postmaster and as a trustee of the town's library, he served in the New York State Assembly. He died at the age of 71 during the third year of the Civil War. His survivors included his wife, Louisa, and their son Andrew.
