General Notes
He died either on 4 aug 1831 or 11 aug 1831, Auburn NY.
He was with the army at Valley Forge during the terrible winter of 1777-1778, when the army suffered severely. The men would lay on the ground at night and be covered with now in the morning.
He and Lafayette were warm friends and in 1825, when they were on the streets of Auburn, they embraced and kissed and Lafayette presented Bartholomew with a sword which was a French dagger damascened in gold, with a blade that bent almost double. In some way this has disappeared.
He kept a diary all through the war which was so interesting that friends borrowed it again and again, until that too was lost.
In 1811 he moved by team from Kinderhook Landing to Auburn with his wife and eleven children. The youngest, being only 6 months old, was carried on pillows. There were, besides his family, four colored persons, Bet and Peg and Pete and Lum.
They built a large brick house in a fine location. He lived there until his death in 1831 of heart troube. Shortly afterward the family moved to Prattsburg.
