I have 10 Stephen BARTONs from Hadlow, Kent in my line with births ranging from 1566 to 1834. Stephen was never that popular a name until this century so I think 10 is a disproportionately large number and bordering somewhat on being a family name. I wonder if one of them emigrated to North America. What date should I be looking for? Michael Sprackling, Birkenhead, Merseyside, England. ----- Original Message ----- From: <CMere85162@aol.com> To: <BARTON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, January 07, 2000 4:18 PM Subject: [BARTON-L] Stephen Barton > Greetings to all Barton Researchers out there I have not been able to get > back more > 4 Gens on my line of Bartons, my maternal Gr Gr Grandfather Stephen Barton > his daughters B.C. says he was from Nova Scotia her name is Clara Elizabeth > Barton and she was born in Cambridge Ma.
