Surnames: Barton Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/xZC.2ACIB/2382 Message Board Post: I am looking for information on William Barton, born about 1799 in Ireland. He had three sons named Samuel, Noah, and James who were born in Pennsylvania. I think he had a daughter also. Her name may have been something like Margarette. It is rumored that he arrived in the USA around 1820. His father's name may have been George. He died in Iowa after 1895. I am wanting to find out information just on William for now. I need to find out when, how, and with who he arrived in the USA. I am trying to get a firm connection back to my Irish ancestors.
