Dear Austin99,
Unfortunately, after doing adding research, I have not been able to
locate a reference to Captain Bartlett and the child Leah Ings that
you mentioned in your clarification.
Given this request for clarification, I will have my my answer
removed.
In any case I will paste a copy of my answer in the comments section
for you.
Best regards,

The Schooner Ernestina website ( www.ernestina.org/index2.html )
provides detailed information about Captain Bob Bartlett’s family
background and ancestors.
Captain Bob Bartlett (Robert Abram Bartlett) did not have a son; he
was never married and left no children.
Robert Abram Bartlett- The Story of Robert Abram Bartlett,
Arctic Explorer (1875-1946)
Here is the relevant excerpt where you may verify that this is the
correct answer:
“Robert Abram Bartlett passed away on April 28, 1946 in a New York
hospital. Bartlett was struck by pneumonia and could not recover. He
was seventy years old. He was never married and left no children. He
is buried in Brigus, Newfoundland.”

The only reference I discovered regarding a descendant is the
following email posted on a personal webpage.
“We were interested to learn on our dogsled trek through northwestern
Greenland last May that Peary's ship captain Bob Bartlett also
fathered a son with an Inuit women in Thule. He and Inalook had a son
Kavigarssuaq, who in turn fathered at least 5 sons and a couple
daughters, one of whom now lives in the U.S.”

“I was told by someone who knew the history, that Captain Bartlett got
an Eskimo woman pregnant in Labrador. After the child was born, a
girl, he took her to Twillingate, Newfoundland where she grew up as
Leah Ings as a member of the Ings family. My desire to find out,
somewhere, that he had the illegimate child. That girl became my
grandmother who is now deceased.” |
