J. Gardner Bartlett

Joseph Gardner Bartlett (25 August 1872 – 11 November 1927) was a prominent American genealogist, whose work focused on colonial New England and the English origins of colonial families. Trained as an architect at MIT, he gave up architecture for genealogy in his thirties. His best-known works include two genealogies of the Stone family (published 1918 and 1926) and ''The Henry Adams Genealogy'' (1927), which treated the family of Henry Adams, immigrant ancestor of the two American presidents by this surname. Bartlett's paternal ancestors bore the surname Kilham until 1845, when his father changed his surname to Bartlett. Provided by Wikipedia
