Gamaliel Bartlett
Gamaliel Bartlett (November 27, 1796 – November 10, 1859) was the first postmaster of Stanhope, New Jersey. He was appointed to the position in 1823 by President James Monroe. In 1829 Mr. Bartlett petitioned the Sussex County Court for a license to ''"...keep an Inn or Tavern in the house in which he now lives, in the Township of Byram..."'' It was signed by the 16 town council members (referred to as Freeholders). Probably the location of the proposed licensed premises was what is locally referred to as ''The Stanhope House''.
== Morris Canal ==
Bartlett was involving with bringing about the Morris Canal section and Morris Canal and Banking Company. The ''Palladium of Liberty'', a Morristown, New Jersey, newspaper of the day, reported on August 29, 1822: ''"...Membership of a committee which studied the practicality of a canal from Pennsylvania to Newark, New Jersey, consisted of two prominent citizens from each county (NJ) concerned: Hunterdon County, Nathaniel Saxton, Henry Dusenberry; Sussex County, Morris Robinson, Gamaliel Bartlett; Morris County, Lewis Condict, Mahlon Dickerson; Essex County, Gerald Rutgers, Charles Kinsey; Bergen County, John Rutherford, William Colefax..."''.
During November 1829, William C. Lewis announced his intention of joining Gamaliel Bartlett's blacksmithing business in Stanhope.
In 1833, Mr. Bartlett would find himself embroiled in a lawsuit entitled ''President and Directors of the Morris Canal and Banking Co. vs. Gamaliel Bartlett''.〔The records of this matter are in call number MG 20 - box number 13, at the New Jersey Historical Society, Newark, New Jersey.〕 The case took four days to try before Justice Ford. On May 30, 1833, Mr. Gamaliel Bartlett prevailed and was awarded $1,500.00 plus all costs for "...damages for forge, grist mill, and saw mill, through lying still or lack of water during the making of (the) canal." In the parlance of 2009, the award would be approximately $50,000.00.
