Hi Christi: My Barton progenitor was JOHN BARTON. He was born ca. 1756 in Co. Down, Ireland, married MARY KYLE 4 Dec. 1784 in Belfast, Co. Antrim, died 22 Feb. 1838, buried in Cross Roads Presbyterian Church Cemetery near Florence, Washington Co. Mary was born probably between 1755 and 1765 in Carnmoney, Co. Antrim, a daughter of Bryce Kyle. She died 1816-1820. John and Mary and their 3 eldest sons emigrated in 1794 and initially settled near Canonsburg, Washington Co., PA. Shortly after 1810 they removed to Smith Twp., Washington Co., settling on Raccoon Creek. They were Associate (Seceder) Presbyterians. They joined the Cross Roads Presbyterian Church near Florence. Their children were: JAMES BARTON born 21 Feb. 1785, married SARAH [-?-] before 1810, died 16 Mar. 1881 in Franklin Twp., Jackson Co., OH. HUGH BARTON born in 1788, married MARY ANN BRIMNER in Washington Co., PA, died in Aug. 1864 in Findlay Twp., Allegheny Co., PA. GEORGE BARTON born in 1792, married AGNES FERGUSON, died in July 1835 in Hanover Twp., Washington Co., PA. JANE BARTON born in 1794, married JOSEPH WHAN 13 Oct. 1819 in Washington Co., PA, died 18 Jan. 1886 in Cold Springs (now Ormas), Noble Co., IN. ARCHIBALD BARTON born 14 Mar. 1797 in Washington Co., married (1) SARAH KELLY 12 Oct. 1821 in Jefferson Co., OH, married (2) Mrs. MARY G. WILDER 17 Mar. 1870 in Holmes Co., OH, died in Nov. 1877. JOHN BARTON , Jr., born ca. 1799 in Washington Co., presumably died before 1881. ROBERT BARTON born 20 Sept. 1801 in Smith Twp., Washington Co., married REBECCA WALLACE 14 Dec. 1826 in Cross Creek Twp., Washington Co., died 12 June 1883 in Cumberland, Spencer Twp., Guernsey Co., OH [my ancestor]. MARY BARTON born 14 Oct. 1803 in Smith Twp., married DAVID INGRAM, died 1882-1884 in Hancock Co., WV. I would be happy to correspond with descendants of any of the above children and particularly with anyone knowledgeable of John & Mary (Kyle) Barton's ancestors. John had two brothers (one named Hugh) who both died young. He also had two sisters (one named Mattie). They never emigrated.
