From the Early History of Putnam County, Tennessee, by W. S. Mcclain, 1925: Joshua Bartlett and wife (Winnie, nee WILLIAMS) moved from Boonesborough, Kentucky with their eight children about the year 1808 and built a cabin on the south bank of Falling Water,in Putnam County, Tennessee near the location of the concrete bridge on the new highway through there.
Later Mr. Bartlett erected a larger and better residence (now occupied by Dudley Farley) near the original cabin, which was then used for several years as a church and school house, but was finally abandoned for a new building on the north bank of Falling River, the site of the present Brown's Mill Church.
The Bartlett children were named Daniel, Nathan, Joseph, Edith, Rebecca, Dorcas, Nancy and Penelope. Another daughter, Hester, was born in their new home in 1812, and was the grandmother of Claude Brown, who gave us this information. Mr. Brown's mother, widow of the late Hyram Brown, now in her 87th year, remembers clearly the details of the capture of Daniel Boone's daughters by the Indians, in a raid on Boonesborough, as related by her mother. The original entry of land by Mr. Bartlett embraced 360 acres on Falling Water, the bottom land thickly covered by tall cane.
