    1. Re: [BARTON-L] My Barton line (from Rufus down)
    2. Hi, what was your source for Samuel? Also what source for Margaret Hunniwell? In Arnold's History of Warwick, no parents are known for Rufus, and Rufus wife is Margaret Stafford. The Town Records show Margaret as the wife of Rufus. You seem to have the names correct as I know them from there on down. There are other sources for Margaret, as well. As she was left a widow when Rufus was killed in 1648, I believe I have seen where the estate was settled. Their son Benjamin was a Town Official in Warwick at its early days. He inherited the original farm which was part of the Cowesett Purchase. Documentation of that information is in the RI Historical Society Vaults. The land was purchased from the Indians. I believe it is Chief Miantonomi's seal on the document. If you have sources for Samuel and Hunniwell, please share. I would want to know. Possibly Margaret remarried, and her 2nd marriage name was Hunniwell. Thanks, Betsey Barton Perra
