They moved to Kentucky shortly after their marriage. In 1807 they moved to Illinois, locating near the old village of Milton in the Wood River Settlement and in 1808 moving to Pin Oak Township, east of Edwardsville, in Madison County. Nicholas and the three other men began the settlement in 1809. He acquired a considerable amount of property, served as a ranger during Indian conflicts, helped build Ft. Russell, north of Edwardsville, and served in the Black Hawk War with three sons, Martin, Nicholas, and Jesse. It was common in those days for the settlers to serve in the military conflicts to protect their homes. Pin Oak Township was a notable community as in 1819 Edward Coles of Virginia, having freed his slaves bought a great deal of land in the community and gave each of the freed male adults a quarter section of land. These original land owners prospered and later subdivided their land so that others could join them. The colony grew to about 300 members at its peak. From James Alonzo Matthews, Jr., Pearce, Bartlett, Matthews, Smart, and Allied Families: "'Uncle Joe,' as he was familiarly called, often related that he attended school only eight days, but after that, by close application and intuition, he qualified himself quite creditably. He was the third assessor and treasurer of Madison County (terms in 1827 & 1830), and he held other offices of trust and responsibility. It has been stated of him that he was a man of domestic habits and that he did not even visit the neighboring city of Saint Louis, though it was less than twenty-five miles distant, for forty-four years previous to his death on January 1, 1864. The horse ferry had just been established about the time of his first trip there in 1819, and his surviving friends state that, having but little curiosity for new or strange things, he never went to see a steamboat or railroad during his life, preferring to devote his whole time to domestic affairs and his books. He was a man of excellent mind, well stored with information, especially in politics. In his day, he was considered a walking history of Tennessee, where many of his friends and early pioneers had emigrated from during the first settlement of the country. He had a well selected library and also a file of the papers then published in Illinois and Tennessee." Joseph was the Madison County Justice of the Peace from 1835 to 1848. In 1850 he was living in Madison County with his wife Patience and grandson (son of William Royal Bartlett and Lucy Thompson) John Wesley Bartlett. In 1860 he was living with Jesse Bartlett's son (his grandson Joseph and his wife Nancy in Madison County."
