I had read in the BARTON BOOK, page 79, that my ancestor David Barton, son of Thomas Barton SR. and Sarah Wilson had served as a 2nd Lt. in the American Revolution (1775-1783) in 1780. The DAR wrote back today and said that they have him listed but, they have no positive documentation of his service. Does anyone have this documentation that they need? I would appreciate any information anyone can send me or let me know what other people have done to get the necessary documentation. My Barton lineage is as follows: Wally Caviness, b. 1940 Ernest Caviness, b. 1903 Emma Magdalene Barton Caviness, b. 1876 Francis Marion Barton, b. 1845 John Milton Barton, b. 1799 Thomas Barton, b. 1777 David Barton, b. 1752 Thanks, Wally
