I have been researching my BARTON line. I am at a brick wall with Enoch BARTON b: 1819 in Edgefield County, SC. The family story is that he ran away from home at a very early age because he could not get along with his step mother. In the late 1830's he was in Chambers County, AL. and he had himself declared an orphan so he could marry. He married Rebecca MEACHAM/MITCHUM 1837 in Chamber County, AL. He was still in Chambers County, AL. in the 1840 but had moved to Rock Mills, Randolph County, AL by the 1850's. He lived in this area until his death. I was going through some notes that a cousin's wife has sent me (my cousin is now deceased). In the notes there is a notation that reads: BARTON, Joseph Dec'd -- Sold -- 1833 Edgefield Rec. Bk. A-296 Distributees: John P. Cullum purchased 2 shares of Isaac BARTON William WILLIAMS - $98.28 Bailey CHANEY - w- Sarah Enoch BARTON minor Wm. WILLIAMS Gdn. 1/2 39.m Bethany BARTON minor Wm. WILLIAMS Gdn. Mahala BARTON Joshua BARTON Isaac BARTON Solomon DAVIS This is the only reference I have ever found on Enoch BARTON in SC. Do these names ring a bell with anyone?? I have a lot of information on Enoch BARTON and his descendants would love to share with anyone also researching this line. If anyone has any information on the above names please contact me.
