BARTLEY/BARTLY - Family cluster near the Blackwater River
Early available data indicate that the Bartley/Bartly families in N. Ireland were rare during the 1700s to 1800s; perhaps amounting to only about one in a thousand families. Most parishes in N. Ireland have none. Furthermore, the families were extremely localized into two clusters (containing maybe half of the families)—one in County Antrim and the other detailed here on the River Blackwater, which forms the border between Counties Tyrone and Armagh. This distribution seems distinct from that of families known to be present in N. Ireland as late as the time of Oliver Cromwell or the King James Plantations.
