I am searching for information about the family of David Barton, for who Barton County, MO. was named. I have this information from a bio of Clinton McMickle of Cherokee County, KS. " his grandmother was a Barton, a Spanish lady, for whose father was named Barton County, MO. and "David Barton was the first Missouri senator after statehood." It did not say that David Barton lived in Barton County. Barton County was formed in 1855. Does anyone have knowledge of this Barton daughter that married a McMickle? I am sorry that I do not have a location or date for the marriage but I would guess the area might have been MO or KY. Thank you for your time. Dore' Sutton Michigan dsutton@voyager.net
