GEORGE G. BARTLEY is one of the substantial farmers of St. Aubert township. He was born in Kanawha county, Virginia, November 9, 1825, and came of good Revolutionary stock. His father, John, was a native of the Old Dominion, born in Culpepper county, Virginia, of Scotch descent. Grandfather (Joshua) Bartley served through the War of the Revolution, and grandmother Bartley was a niece of General Nathaniel Greene, of Revolutionary fame, after whom George G. was partially named. George G.'s father, John Bartley, served through the War of 1812, and after the close of that War, was overseer for Colonel Boon on his farm in Greenup county, Kentucky; after that he went to West Virginia and "overed" for Colonel Andrew Donley, one year, and was afterwards connected with Colonel Donley's salt works, taking charge of farm and furnaces located on the great Kanawha river, near Charleston. This position he held for twelve years. By his untiring industry, and good habits he acquired a handsome property, which he enjoyed in his old age. While in Western Virginia, he married Miss Winnifred T. Bagby, a native of Buckingham county, Virginia.
He finally removed to Missouri in 1829, and located first in what is now St. Aubert township, Callaway county, where one of his sons, George G., now resides. He bought land and improved a farm where he resided until his death, which occurred July 15, 1847. Previous to his marriage, he made a trip to Missouri in 1820, which induced him to his settlement there. John Bartley reared a family of seven sons and two daughters, one dying at the age of eight years, all of whom, but one son and two daughters are now living--John J., William W., J. W. (dead), Joseph D., Daniel M. and Andrew J. Bartley; all living in Callaway county, except Daniel M. who lives in Texas.
George G., the oldest son, was but four years of age when the family removed to this State, but remembers many incidents that transpired at that early time. He spent his youth on the farm, and was married January 21, 1847, to Miss Harriet Fitzhugh, a native of Pike county, Missouri, and daughter of Mr. A. C. Fitzhugh. Four years after his marriage he removed to his present homestead. Mr. and Mrs. George G. Bartley have a family of four children, viz: Dennis, John F., Robert L. and Nannie. An interesting daughter, Permelia, died in 1875 at the age of twenty-two, and one died n infancy in 1848. Mr. Bartley's landed property consists of 160 acres, about 100 of which are under cultivation, comprising the homestead, with a comfortable dwelling, a good tobacco barn, and fine orchard containing a choice variety of fruits, and also an improved tract of 265 acres. Mr. and Mrs. Bartley and daughter are members of the Sulphur Springs Christian church. Mr. Bartley is an honored member of Fulton Lodge, A. F. and A. M., and has filled important stations in the Blue Lodge, and is a member of Orion R. A. Chapter No. 49. He has held the office of justice of the peace and constable, and served as door-keeper of the Missouri Legislature for three winters of 1858-59, and was again elected to that position in 1870 and served four years.
