    1. Re: [BARTON-L] Rufus & Marmaduke BARTON
    2. Do you want Rufus or Marmaduke. There is some question as to how they were related. Marmaduke is mentioned in the RI genealogical Index as possibly related to Rufus. Rufus is the brother of Roger and came to America from Holland to Manhatten where he argued with the Dutch governor and left to go to Mass. He then went to Warwick RI where he was a founding father and is listed on the original charter. His son Benjamin married Susannah Gorton the daughter of Samuel Gorton (the fish people). The family is well documented throught the Rhode Island genealogical Index. Gen William Barton and Gen Nathanial Greene are both descendents of Rufus. Nathanial Greenes' grandmother was a Barton and his g-grandaughter married Henry Oscar Barton, a direct descendent of Rufus. Best of luck in your research. L Baron
