I am not sure if any of this is going to be relavent to you. As far as we know my great grandfather's name is Washington Barton and he was from Tennessee. He moved to Missouri, and married Nancy (not sure of her maiden name). They lived in Senath, Missouri (Dunklin County). They had one child: William Barton. He had a son named William Floyd. William Floyd had a son named Willie Lloyd Barton (bn1921). Willie Lloyd had a son named William Elvis Barton (bn1945). William Elvis Barton is my father. I am responding because you asked about a William W. Barton from Tennessee who lived in Missouri. The W. could have stood for Washington. Family stories say that Washington had a well off family in Tennessee and was trying to earn enough money to present his new family to his Tennessee family, but he died before it was possible. Therefore we don't know anything about the Tennessee family. I hope some of this is helpful. We can't find anything beyond Washington Barton so any connection would be welcomed. Tracy Barton

I have this throught the "The Historical Research Center" " The english surname Barton is local in origin, being one of those surnames derived from the place where a man once lived or where he once held land. In this case the name is derived from the english term "barton" which originates in the two Old English wors "bere", meaning barley, and "tun" signifying and enclosure. This, in Old English the surname Barton meant "barley farm". In Middle Enlish times, however, the name came to signify a"demesne farm" kept for the lord's use." Also, according to the same agency, the earliest record of the name appears in the 11th century. I have no way of knowing what documentation this applies to althought some names are mentioned including Elizabeth Barton the so called "holy maid of Kent" who was executed by Henry the VIII. Best of Luck on your search Lea Barton

Barton is derived from early English for Barley farm or farmyard.

I have an article--very long one--that was published in the Garden City Telegram, Garden City, Kansas. It is the story of pioneer Wellborn "Doc" Barton, born Dec. 22, 1852 near Austin Texas--a family that had migrated a decade earlier from South Carolina. His brothers: Al and Henry. His Uncles: Poinsett and David (served in the confederate army) Wellborn Barton was the first Gray County sheriff... He died in 1947. If you are interested in the article, please let me know....or contact the Garden City Telegram, Garden City, Kansas. It was in the Saturday edition, April 3, 1999. I just wrote to the Telegram asking their permission to type the data for submission to this list, but have not received a reply as of yet. My nephew who knows I research Barton surname sent it to me....but alas though it is a wonderful story, but not my Barton. Lena

Jane, Aquilla and Elizabeth Barton were gggrandparents, I believe, and his father was Lewis. If you like, I will forward your address to my brother-in-law who is researching the family.

Veeeeeerrry Interesting (that note which mentioned the Bartons from VA and one who married a Sims who was granted land there.) I am married to a Barton from KS and my great grandparents were Sims. We live in the Sims home in Walker Co., GA. I can go back only to Chattooga Co. , GA in 1839 on the Sims side and back to S.C. on the Barton side. The Bartons are believed to have come from VA and I suspect that my Sims did as well since they came from N. GA and, I believe, NC.

Thanks, but I don't believe they are "mine". I have Benjamin and his son Bailey and Bailey's daughter Phalba or Phalta spelled both ways. Thanks for responding. Jane

Hello everyone, Does anyone have any information on the Bartons who where in what became West Virginia during the late 1700s & early 1800s? I came upon references to land grants in Sim's Index for William Barton in Harrison & Daniel Barton Monongalia counties in the 1780s. Also a marriage record in Harrison County in 1808 for Thomas Barton to Sally Drummond. Also Levi Barton being listed as a witness on an 1805 deed in Wood County.

Thanks to everyone who sent me information about Col. Joseph Barton! I thought I would summarize what I had learned, for anyone who was interested, and ask if anyone had anything more that they could add. In particular, I'd like to know if Joseph Barton remarried when he moved to Digby, Nova Scotia and which of his heirs were granted land in Canada. 1) "The Case of Lt. Colonel Joseph Barton - Late of New Jersey". North Jersey Highlander, Vol.11, No. 1 (Sprint 1975) issue 38, pp.3-27. The life of Joseph Barton from his move from Sussex County, New Jersey, to Digby, Nova Scotia. He was a lieutenant in the New Jersey Blues in 1758 and later a lieutenant-colonel in the New Jersey Volunteers. There is a copy of Barton's memorial, as presented to the British government. Bound in this copy is also the following: an inventory of the personal property of those who left their homes and joined the enemy, Isaac Martin, Esquire, and Major Samuel Meeker appointed commisioners; tells what happened to the property of those in the New Jersey Volunteers. Also, an account of Joseph Barton's early activities as a Loyalist soldier and also those of Patrick Hagerty, who went to Digby, Stephen Delancy who went to Clements Township, and Ruben Hankinson who went to Sissiboo River. 2) The Loyalists of New Jersey - E.Alfred Jones page 22 shows:Joseph Barton (Lieut.-Colonel) He was a farmer of Newtown (now Newton) Susses County N.J. and was born in America about 1723. He was an agent for the East Jersey Proprietors. >From 1775 until the Summer of 1776 he wa a member of the House of Assembly for Sussex County, and not only opposed the measures of the Provincial Congress in the early stages of the Revolution, but was "the only member of Assembly who voted against Governor Franklin's imprisonment as an enemy to the liberties of his country." He joined the British army in 1776, and was appointed by General Sir William Howe to raise a Battalion for the New Jersey Volunteers, and took command of the First Battalion from November 7, 1776. He was captures on Staten Island, Aug.22, 1777. Peter Hopkins, formerly a member of the House of Assembly of New Jersey, and James Broderick, of Sussex County, both presumably Loyalists, testified on oath to Barton's property before David Mathews, last Mayor of New York under the Crown, on September 10, 1783. (Audit Office 12:90) 3) With the Barton papers are a copy of the inquisition and proceedings against him in New Jersey as a Loyalist; the original certificate of Governor Franklin to his loyalty, dated September 1, 1779; a list of his losses; schedules of his property, and lists of bonds, with the names of his debtors and the amounts. His son was in possession of part of his property in New Jersey in 1786, while he himself was an exile at Digby, in Nova Scotia. This son was probably Henry L. Barton, born c1761, who was Ensign from 1780 in the 1st New Jersey Volunteers and Lieutenant from 1782, and who was on the half pay list until 1802. (Index:5605-6, and Stryker, New Jersey Volunteers) 4) Revolutionary Census of New Jersey by Stryker-Rodda shows Joseph Barton in Newton Twp., Sussex County in 1773-1774. In 1778-1780 census Henry Barton in shown in Amwell Twp., Hunterdon County NJ. 5) Documents relating to the Revolutionary History of the State of New Jersey, Vol II 1778. p. 8 states that Mrs. Barton...died of the Samll-Pox in her 48th year. It continues "she had been driven with 7 small children from their estate in Sussex County...whilst the Lieutenant Colonel was Prisoner at Weathersfield in Connecticut. 6) On page 23 of the same book, "Died since our last John Barton, aged 15 years, and Joseph Barton, aged 6 years...Since the Colonel's Confinement he has lost his Wife and three Sons." 7) Col. Barton was on the list of Seconded officers, Prince of Wales' American Volunteers from 1792 (War Office 24:711, Index 5605). The sum of 1,814 lbs. was granted to him as compensation from his claim of 3,955 pounds, 6 shillings (Audit Office 12:109) A long list of his confiscated properties and the names of the previous owners is in Ontario Archives ;;.600-5, together with the names of some purchasers. Evidence in his favor as "an honest and loyal subject" was given by Oliver de Lancey and Governor Franklin, April 30, 1781. 8) Col. Barton appears on the Muster Roll of Discharged Officers and Disbanded Soldiers and Loyalists Town of Digby, Nova Scotia May 29, 1784 as a Disbanded Officer with 3 family members. Considering that his wife and 3 sons died by 1778, who are the three family members? 9) "History of a Farm" published in 1916 states that James Edsall, who married Charlotte Barton, and Benjamin Barton, who married Hannah Edsall, put up bail for Joseph Barton after his arrest but was forfeited when he did not show up for trial. 10) Procedings of Loyalist Commissioners Halifax 1786, p. 603, indicates that Col. Barton gave his estate to his son (Benjamin) and his son-in-law (who is reported to be Dr. John Hinchman, who married Abigail Barton). 11) Geography and History of Digby County , Nova Scotia by Isaiah W. Wilson 1985, Page 370. says, "The circumstances attending demise of Joseph Barton, Lieutenant Colonel of a New Jersey Volunteer Regiment in the British Service during the American Revolution, as described to the Author, were particularly distressing. Amidst the convivialities surrounding the bar-room of Reid's Hotel in Digby during a winter evening, the guests were discussing their work and prospects. The social glass had increased thei self confidence and ardour, while removing temporarily the caution so necessary in clearing forests. Lt.-Col. Barton though never having felled a tree, bravely insisted he could do so unaided, as expeditiuosly and successfully as the most experienced. Dr. Joseph Marvin expostulated , but Col Barton eagerly laid a higher wager to that effect. Not to be outdone, the Doctor complied. On following day, the Colonel coolly chopped a lofty Birch on his premises adjoining "Birch Place"___which alas , levelled him to the ground , mortally wounded! He was buried February 19th , 1788 according to record's evidence. This speaks in thunder tones to the rash and thoughtless!! 12) From the Digby County Death index, we have Lt. Col. Joseph Barton buried Feb.19,1788 13) In The Hatfield Grant of 1801, the heirs of Joseph Barton are granted 1250 acres. Who are his heirs? So, we have evidence of 7 small children who were driven from their estate in Sussex County. Of these, we have information for Benjamin Barton (d. 1830), Henry L. Barton (b. 1761), John Barton (1763-1777/78), Joseph Barton (1772-1777/78), Charlotte Barton, one more son (d.1777/78). We're left wondering which children went to Nova Scotia with him and which heirs received land grants. If anyone can give me any additional information, I would be extremely grateful! Thanks, Bambi Dingman - Histcreatr@aol.com

Sorry . . . the death date should have read February 1788!! Bambi - Histcreatr@aol.com

I'm not sure if theres any connection but my gr-Great Grandfathers name was Stephen Barton he came from Nova Scotia and married Julia Burke from Cape Breton,in 1900 they had a daughter named Clara Elizabeth Barton. He would have been the right age to be a son of Joseph but i'm not sure of his birthdate.
