Have you considered DNA testing? The Barton project is quite large with many different Barton families showing up. At one time it was thought that my James Barton was probably from the Thomas and Mary Kimber Barton family. DNA has shown that my James is not...they are not the same family at all. This was made possible due to the large sampling of Bartons as well as work by some of the Bartons to get Barton folks to take the DNA testing even if they are not interested in genealogy.

Pa.. aLL THESE BARTON'S MUST BE RELATED SOME HOW-THE NAMES ARE THE SAME.They mostly name their boys Joseph, Thomas,John,William, James. Mary, Polly and Sarah seemed to be the most used for the girls.
