Liberty Bartlett
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Liberty Bartlett (1810 – March 17, 1893)[1] was an American circuit judge in Arkansas.
Bartlett was born in 1810 in Williamstown, Massachusetts.[2] He lived in California for a time, and later moved to Arkansas.[2] He became a circuit judge of the fifth circuit in Little Rock on November 12, 1854.[2][3]
Judge Bartlett attempted to establish a settlement in 1872, at the present site of Marche, Arkansas.[4] The settlement, which would have been named Bartlett Springs, did not succeed, and the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad ended up acquiring the property and naming it Warren Station.[4] It was later named Marche, and settled by Polish immigrants.
Bartlett was reported to have lived to "extreme old age."[5]
