"At an early age, John was instructed by a Mr. Gregory. He entered Christ College, Cambridge 31 January 1689, where he was admitted a sizar under Mr. Lovett, and graduated in 1692. The name of his father, the place of his birth, and the date are obtained from the records of Christ's College, England. Miss Bartow did not find a record of his christening at Crediton. The extract of the admission book of Christ College reads: -- "1689. Jan. 31 mo., Joannes Bartow Thomae filius in lucem editus apud Crediton in Comitatu Devoniensi, literis ibidem institutus a Mro. Gregory, annos natus sedecem admissus est Sizator sub Mro. Lovett." Miss Bartow - his birth might have been earlier, perhaps 1670, from his being made Curate in 1694, but other sources believed the date to be 1673, from this same record.
John became Curate of Pampisford, in Cambridgeshire, in 1694, and was inducted Vicar there on 28 May 1697. Pampisford lies about seven miles south of Cambridge. The Pampisford records say that "Mr. Brown Curit left on the 10th of June 1694." Mr. Bartow's name occurs frequently in the register of baptisms thereafter, and often in the register of marriages. The last marriage by Mr. Bartow occurs in 1702. The register of burials is lost, so if father Thomas was buried here, there would be no record.
The inhabitants of Westchester NY requested the services of a minister of the Church of England, and the Propagation Society chose Mr. Bartow for that purpose. On 22 June 1702, Rev. John Bartow was licensed by Henry, Lord Bishop of London, to perform all ecclesiastical and ministerial duties in the Province of New York. The document, translated from the Latin, reads:
"Henry, by Divine permission, Lord Bishop of London, to all to whom these presents shall or may concern, health in our Lord God Everlasting. Whereas by virtue of an Act of Parliament, made in ye first year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord and Lady King William and Queen Mary, entitled, an act for ye abrogating of ye oaths of Supremacy and allegiance, and appointing other oaths. It is provided and enacted, that every person at his or their respective admission to be incumbent in any Ecclesiastical Promotion or Dignity in ye Church of England, shall subscribe and declare before his Ordinary in manner and form as in ye said Act is contained. Now know ye that on ye day of ye date hereof, did personally appear before me, John Bartow, clerk, to be admitted to ye ministerial functions in ye Province of New York in America, and subscribed as followeth as by the said Act is required. I, John Bartow, clerke, declare that I will conform to ye Liturgy of the Church of England, as it is now by Law established. In Witness whereof we have caused our seal manual to be affixed to these presents. Dated the 22d day of the month of June, in ye year of our Lord 1702, and in the 27th year of our Translation."
After a voyage of eleven weeks, Mr. Bartow arrived at New York 29 September 1702, and on 19 November 1702 he was inducted into the Parish and Church of Westchester, Eastchester, Yonkers and Manor of Pelham.
[Mandate of Lord Cornbury in Latin.] "To all Rectors, Chaplians, Curates and ministers, and to Caleb Heathcote, Henry Hunt and Josiah Hunt, Church Wardens of the Parish of Westchester, Eastchester, Yonkers, and Manor of Pelham, commanding them to induct the Rev. John Bartow as Rector in the said Parish, now vacant, and to put him in possession of the Rectory, Glebe, and Church property. Given under the Prerogative seal of this Province, November 9, 1702." Cornbury.
"By virtue of the above written mandate, and in the presence of Hugh Farquhar and Thomas Hunt, Joseph Haviland, Daniel Clark, and Edward Collier. We William Vessey, Clergyman, and Josiah Hunt, Church Warden of the Parish of Westchester and Eastchester, have inducted the Rev. John Bartow, in the Parish Church of Eastchester, Westchester, Yonkers, and Manor of Pelham, and put him in possession of the Rectory, Glebe, and Parish property. In Testimoney whereof we had subscribed these Presents, December 6, 1702."
The Parish had about 2,000 members and paid L50 per year for the support of the Priest. In 1704 the trustees of Westchester voted Mr. Bartow, as a free gift of the town, "a certain piece of land at the rear of his house-lot." In addition to his own parish, Mr. Bartow also performed missionary duty at Hempstead and Jamaica, Long Island, and at Shrewsbury, Freehold, and Amboy NJ. During his visits to Freehold he became acquainted with the family of John Reid, whose daughter, Helena, he married.
On 6 April 1722, John Bartow purchased of John Mash the farm recently owned by Mr. Hatfield, and he resided there until his death. Most of his children were buried in the family burial ground there. His last communication to the Society was 6 October 1725, and he died soon after.
The Will of John Bartow of Westchester reads: 'Clerk.' Leaves to wife Helena the use of house and lands, 'and all my land at Scabby Indian, bounded southeast by land of John Williams, west by Country Road, north by road that goes to Thomas Hadden's sawmill, and by David Turner's land. And my meadow formerly Edward Collins, Davis Huestis and Horsman Mullinexes, and L25 Commanage in Westchester.
To son John, the land I lately bought of David Huestis, Daniel Clark, Thomas Hadden and John Huestis, and L25 Commonage, and my interest in the Long Reach. Also, a piece of salt meadow bought of James Ferris, Jan. 15, 1723, and land in New Jersey.
Leaves to sons Theodosius, Theophilus and Thomas, land in New Jersey.
Mentions John Marsh and wife Rosamond who had mortgaged to him a house in Westchester.
Mentions sons Anthony and Basil. My father-in-law John Reid.
The widow received one third of personal estate forever, and the use of all rest of estate until she remarried; then in equal shares to his six sons. Dated 24 January 1725; proved 1 April 1727 (Liber 10. P. 180)
Bolton says: "This excellent minister died at Westchester in 1725. His remains, according to the custom of that day, were interred under the communion table in the old parish church of St. Peter [Westchester]. Since the removal of that ancient edifice, however, nothing serves to distinctly mark the site of his tomb."
The Society's abstracts for 1725 say a gratuity of L50 was made to Mrs. Bartow, widow, "in consideration of her husband's good behavior and diligence in the society's mission for 23 years and upwards and having six sons and a wife provided for."
