Gershom Bartlett (February 19, 1723 – December 23, 1798) was a stone carver who carved tombstones in colonial Connecticut and Vermont.
[4] His stones were almost exclusively carved from his quarried granite schist besides a few early brownstones around South Windsor.
Such carvers who studied and adopted stylistic elements of Bartlett's work include John Loomis of Coventry, Peter & William Buckland of Manchester, Daniel Ritter of East Hartford, Josiah Manning of Windham, and Ebenezer Drake of Windsor.
[1] In 1773 due to rising land costs, Bartlett sold the Bolton Notch Quarry and his home and moved his family to Pompanoosuc, Windsor County on the Vermont frontier.
Gershom died in 1798 aged 75, and is buried near his wife in the Waterman Hill Cemetery in Pompanoosuc, Vermont.
