  Birth	28 Mar 1825	{Fire Place (now Brookhaven), Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY}   [3, 4]

  Census	1850	Fair Haven, New Haven, New Haven, CT   [5]
  	In his household were his wife, Harriet N., and one year old son Benjamin F.. [Benjamin is likely the same person as "Francis" recorded elsewhere, and that his given name was Benjamin Francis.]

  Census	1860	Fire Place (now Brookhaven Hamlet), Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY   [6]
  	In addition to his family, Sarah M. Cook was living in the household in 1860. Sarah was likely William's sister, Sarah Maria.

  	Hugh Byrne comments: "William Barteau is buried under headstone of his infant son, Lucian, and there was some family debate as to why his [third] wife, Hannah, did this." [Lucian was a child by his second wife, Martha Matthews.]
  Notes	[According to Hawkins II, William Marshall's first wife was Harriet Newell Chase of Shelter Island, NY and that they had a daughter Henrietta Louise Barteau (b. 2 Apr 1852) who married Henry Egbert Hawkins (HG 875). The 1860 census had the family: William (age 30), Martha (33), Frances (11), Henrietta (4, 7 or 9), and Shuman (3). Also in the household was Sarah M. Clark, likely William's sister, Sarah Maria. If Harriet was William's first wife as proposed by Hawkins II, then it seems likely that she died in the gap between Henrietta's and Shuman's birth's; that Martha is William's second wife; and that Hannah Hawkins is his third wife.]

  Documents

  Bartow (Barteau) House. ..A house, no longer extant, was identified in a scrapbook titled "Early Photographs of the Hamlet of Brookhaven collected by George Perley Morse 1945-1959." His caption reads: "The Old Barteau Place" "The first Barteaus (Francis) were known to live in Fireplace in 1741. The son of Francis lived in this house until his death in 1815, and his son Francis died in 1858. The home was sold to William M. Barteau, Mrs. Edna Valentine Bruce's grandfather [and Francis Barteau's son]. Mrs. Bruce's mother was born here. William M. Barteau sold the property to William Andrews about 1872. The name Barteau appears on records spelled a number of different ways." [e.g. Bartow, Barto].
