Hi Jane! There's actually several citations about this Jane BARTON, Joab LEWIS and Phalba/Phalta BARTON. Jane FIELD wife of Col. Bailey BARTON. Twelve children including Phalta L. BARTON. See: (1) Historical Southern Families, Vol. VIII, John Bennett Boddie, 1970, p. 132 (2) The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol. XCIII, No. 2, pg. 201 (3) The Barton Book revised edition, Robert Dacus Nally for The Barton Historical Society, Genealogy Pub. Service, 1994. None are my line. Good Hunting! Gary
