Richard- I descend from the David Barton-Ruth Oldham line also, but I believe you have more info than I. Nearly all my data comes from the book "Cloud Thrasher Barton Lineages" by Young.. However, I would like to join you, Ron and Hope on this search. My line after David & Ruth is: David O. Barton-Peggy Looney; Ruth Barton-George Calhoun; Elizabeth Calhoun-Robert Reeves; Del Reeves-Clara Dugosh; Annie Mae Reeves-Prentice Witt and then me (Gerald Witt) I live in Camp Verde, Texas (near Kerrville) which is not that far away from Hope.
