There IS an index for both Vol. 106 and 107 of McCracken's material. I have it.

McCracken, published in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register in 1952 >and 1953. The series begins on page 168 of Volume 106, the January 1952 issue, and ends on page 303 of Volume 107, the October 1953 issue. In all, the series >totals 74 printed pages. Unfortunately, it has no index, thus lookups are time-consuming. Without an index, it is difficult to estimate how many Bartons are in >the article, but I would say about 1,500. The most recent persons included are those born in the general time frame of 1850. > >Fortunately, the USA census provides rather complete family information starting in 1850, thus it is generally not difficult to link living individuals to this >article (or to Solomon Barton as will be discussed later in this message). > >The author, George E. McCracken, is a descendant of Roger Barton (as am I). He was Professor of Classical Studies at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, when he >did the research and authored the series. Later he was the Publisher and Editor of American Genealogist magazine, one of the most respected publications in the >field. As one would expect almost 50 years later with much more information easily available and studying only one part of the family, I have found incorrect data >here and there. That does not detract one bit from the value of the article in providing guidance for Barton family researchers. Each person can update his or her >branch or twig. > >The New England Historical and Genealogical Register was first published in 1847 and is, I believe, the oldest continuously published journal of its kind in the >USA. The entire set of 153 volumes is available in many public libraries and genealogical and historical society libraries. If your public library does not have >the set, they can probably use the interlibrary system to borrow the issues or volumes of interest for you from another library. > >Also, you can buy the individual back issues of interest for a nominal cost (about $3 each as I recall) or you can buy the two annual bound volumes which include >the series for perhaps $50 each in library quality hard cover. These can be purchased from the society itself at http://www.nehgs.org/ You can buy by mail or >phone. The prices I mentioned here are only top of the head recollections so you will have a ballpark idea of what is possible. Also, if one wants to go for >broke, one can buy a CD-ROM version of the entire New England Historical and Genealogical Register for the years 1847 through 1994 (Volumes 1 through 148) for >$295 (non-members) or $265.50 (members). The CD-ROM version consists of scanned images of the publication, thus is not something one can readily search or edit, >but one can print the pages. I hope I'm not violating any rules here. I'm trying to be helpful. I'm not trying to sell anything. > >The individual issues of interest are July, 1952; October, 1952; January, 1953; April, 1953; July, 1953; and October, 1953. The journal is a quarterly >publication, thus these are six of the eight issues for 1952 and 1953 (Volumes 106 and 107). > >In addition to the articles mentioned above, you also should obtain a copy of "The Descendants of Solomon Barton of Dutchess County, New York, and Monkton, >Vermont," by Dr. Joshua Lindley Barton, published in The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record in a series of articles beginning on page 239 of the July, >1928, issue. That is Volume LIX of that journal. The article is continued in later issues of the journal, but I have not collected all of the articles and don't >know how many there are. > >Solomon Barton is a descendant of Roger Barton of Westchester County, N.Y., and this article is mentioned on page 58 of the January, 1953, issue of The New >England Historical and Genealogical Register. It is mentioned in the Roger Barton article where one makes the transition from Caleb Barton to one of his sons, >Solomon Barton. Caleb's wife was a Quaker, and Caleb became one. The first few generations of their descendants were Quakers. This article includes the authority >for many of the family groups, and there is an index of names for each volume (one year set of quarterly issues) in total.
