Individual:
Christopher BARTLETT, (1732- ) a Farmer was born in 1732, at Cumberland, Rhode Island. At the age of twenty-eight he married Freelove Razee in 1760, where is not known.
Christopher was a soldier in the French and Indian War, and believing that to secure their rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of those ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new government, lying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem likely to effect their safety and happiness, was a Lieutenant in the American Revolution.
Christopher like other colonists understood that the King of England would stop at nothing to keep his control over them. For many years England had been increasing his control over them. And the destruction of the tea by the colonists in Boston Harbor greatly angered the British Ministry, who considered the act an outrage upon the national government, and the king made the transaction the subject of a special message to both Houses of Parliament. Three statutes were hurried through Parliament. They first closed the port of Boston to all trade. They secondly altered the provisions of the Massachusetts charter as to vest in the crown, the appointment of thirty-six councilors instead of the twenty-eight annually elected by the two branches of the General Court and convention. The provincial governor was also empowered to appoint and remove at pleasure, without the council's concurrence, all judges, sheriffs and justices, and to disallow all town meetings except those that were ordained by standing laws. Further, all jurymen who had been by law drawn in open town meetings from the jury boxes were to be subsequently selected (only those who agreed with the king were to be chosen), summoned and returned by the sheriffs at their respective counties. The third statute provided that if any officer, in the act of executing the laws, or any person aiding him therein, should be charged with murder or other capital offense, he might be sent for trial to another colony, or even to England.
After the Revolution Christopher moved to Mount Desert Island, Maine, in 1785.
Christopher died when is not known, on Mount Desert Island.
