However, this compiler does not see any English Bartletts in the project to support this claim.
- ↑ He was admitted Freeman 6 Jun 1654, and must have then been at least aged 21.

Previous Y-DNA testing
As of 1 October 2020, the Bartlett DNA Project Subgroup: "RF Plymouth, MA & TN" has 28 individuals, all who are close STR matches with each other and 10 individuals stating their Most Distant Known Paternal Ancestor (MDKPA) was Richard Bartlett. Six individuals descended from Robert Bartlett have apparently taken a Big Y test and four of these individuals show P312>>U152>Z56>BY3548>Z43>Z145>BY1823>BY28794>PF6582>PF6577>BY3953>BY142576 as their haplogroup, with the other two showing BY166945 (a subclade of BY142576) as their haplogroup.
