About April 1776, Bartholomew, at the age of 15, enlisted at Wrentham, Suffolk (now Norfolk) County, Massachusetts for the term of 6 weeks as a volunteer in a fatigue party sent to repair Fort William and Mary (later named Fort Independence in 1779) on Castle Island in Boston Harbor. After serving the full term of this enlistment, he was dismissed.
Later in the same year, 1776, Bartholomew enlisted in Captain John Mann's Company of the Massachusetts Militia for one month at Wrentham as a volunteer substitute for an elderly man of Wrentham by the name of Smith. Captain Mann's Company went to Providence, Rhode Island, thence to Bristol then in Rhode Island, thence back to Providence, and thence to Obdyke's Newtown a part of North Kingston, Washington County, Rhode Island. After having served the full term of this enlistment, Bartholomew was discharged.
In July 1780, Bartholomew volunteered to fill a Medway, Suffolk (now Norfolk) County, Massachusetts quota and enlisted for six months in Lieutenant (later Captain) Thomas Jackson's Company, Colonel John Crane's Third Regiment of Artillery in the Massachusetts Continental Line. Colonel Crane's Regiment marched on July 2, 1780 for Springfield, Massachusetts arriving there on July 8, 1780. The Regiment thence marched to West Point, New York; thence to General Washington's Headquarters in New Jersey crossing over by Kings Ferry from Verplank Point to Stoney Point; thence back to West Point. Bartholomew was at West Point when General Bendeict Arnold deserted. Bartholomew was discharged at West Point having served the full term of his enlistment on December 31, 1780 with six months and ten days service.
After the Revolutionary War (1775-1783), Bartholomew moved to Keene, Cheshire County, New Hampshire, were he lived for 4 or 5 years. He then in turn moved to Grafton, Windham County, Vermont.
