I am not sure if any of this is going to be relavent to you. As far as we know my great grandfather's name is Washington Barton and he was from Tennessee. He moved to Missouri, and married Nancy (not sure of her maiden name). They lived in Senath, Missouri (Dunklin County). They had one child: William Barton. He had a son named William Floyd. William Floyd had a son named Willie Lloyd Barton (bn1921). Willie Lloyd had a son named William Elvis Barton (bn1945). William Elvis Barton is my father. I am responding because you asked about a William W. Barton from Tennessee who lived in Missouri. The W. could have stood for Washington. Family stories say that Washington had a well off family in Tennessee and was trying to earn enough money to present his new family to his Tennessee family, but he died before it was possible. Therefore we don't know anything about the Tennessee family. I hope some of this is helpful. We can't find anything beyond Washington Barton so any connection would be welcomed. Tracy Barton
