played within the community. From Form B of 1970: “Roger Bartlett was among the first settlers of Northampton in 1654. He established his homestead on Pleasant St., served as a selectman
in 1657 and 1653 and was killed in 1675 in an assault by the Indians. The homestead was maintained until the late 18th century and Preserved Bartlett, born in 1772, was probably one
on the last last of the family to be born there. In 1792, probably at the time of his marriage Preserved removed to South St. and established his homestead on this site. He lived here
for 53 years, until he died at the age of 77 in 1845. The property remained in the Bartlett family until the death of Preserved’s great-granddaughter Mary in 1926.” Carolyn P. Wright
and Agnes W. Howland owned the house in 1970. BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County Atlas of Hampshire Massachusetts, New York, 1873. Hales, John G. Plan of the Town or
