Where are you getting in info that Edward is the father of Rufus. Not so. I have the Oxford Barton genealogy where Edward is the start of this branch but I also have Bartons of R.I. which several of us have been researching for years. Two are direct desc of Wm. & Rhoda Carver Barton and the other Betsey Barton Perra who lives in R.I. comes down the same line.
