You are into the Oxford Bartons. I have this little booklet on the whole family, showing names of children etc. I studied the two Nathans, for I was so sure at one time I would be related to him but I hit a brick wall and then I went back to R.I. and low and behold my Oxford Barton came to Providence and its a long story. Send me you mailing address and I will send this to you. Nathan 5 1734 m. his 1st cousin Tamar Barton and #2 Lydia Rice. By Tamar they had Nation 1764-1768 and then they had another Nathan 17790 whoi m. Sarah Burroughs. This booklet does not go forward with this Nathan. I can check my files to see what I found on them. This was the line I worked so hard on. You probably have more ond Nathan 6 and his family from there. But the booklet will fill in the past. I am now very confident that I come off Edward, Matthew, Samuel to Caleb to John, to John to John that went to Providence.,Dorothy ---------- > From: Leo K.
