  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].
