Liberty Bartlett

Liberty Bartlett (born 1810) was a circuit judge in Arkansas.

Bartlett was born in 1810 in Williamstown, Massachusetts.[1] He lived in California for a time, and later moved to Arkansas.[1] He became a circuit judge of the fifth circuit in Little Rock on November 12, 1854.[1][2]

Judge Bartlett attempted to establish a settlement in 1872, at the present site of Marche, Arkansas.[3] The settlement, which would have been named Bartlett Springs, did not succeed, and the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad ended up acquiring the property and naming it Warren Station.[3] It was later named Marche, and settled by Polish immigrants.

Bartlett was reported to have lived to "extreme old age."[4]
