I descend through a James Barton, believed to be the son of David and Elizabeth McCormack Barton found in Bedford County, Va. David is the son of Thomas and Sarah (?) who came to Bedford from Faquier/Prince William County, Va. DNA shows a match between Bavester and David. There's a family story that my James spent some time in Ky., before coming back to Monroe Co., Va., but I haven't been able to make a connection. Would appreciate any help. Thanks. Helen
