Migration of the Bartlein family

Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Bartlein or a variant listed above: Elizabeth Bartlam, who sailed to Virginia in 1671. Adam Bartleman journeyed to Philadelphia in 1754 and Edward Bartlom sailed to America in 1762. In the Australian colonies, Sarah Bartlum was recorded in Sydney in 1791..
