Can ANYONE HELP ME with these BARTON's - I would appreciate all help!! If any of you would check your BARTON books or census records or whatever you have I would appreciate it. It appears that my ISAIAH as well as his sibs were orphaned and nobody has ever known much about my BARTONs probably for that reason. Isaac - married Margaret CREED abt.1831-1832. I do not know where or when he was born. Margaret was from S.C. I have been told that he was from Lexington County,S.C. I have found an Isaac Barton listed there in the 1840 census along with quite a few other BARTONs. I have also learned that there were alot of BARTONs living in the old Orangeburgh,S.C. area and that Lexington County was formed from that area. There are BARTONs found in the 1790 census of that county, there is also a John CREED family found there. Isaac's children are listed in the 1850 Thomas County,Ga. census although he is listed as Isaiah which is either a mistake or it is another name for him. Here it says he is from N.C. Margaret's age must be inaccurate. This is how they are listed: Isaiah 45 N.C. Margaret 55 Cassandra 17 Josiah 16 farmer Joseph 14 John 12 Uriah 11 Elizabeth 9 Isaiah 4 Ga. Robert 4/12 (I suppose this means 4 months old) The 1860 Colquitt County,Ga. listing for Darlin Creed (Margaret Creed Barton's brother) shows his wife and children listed as well as three of Isaac and Margaret's children. The ages do not exactly add up and in 1850 the last child is listed as Robert who may be 4 months old and in the census 10 years later this child is 9 years old which would fit but he is now called Thomas, which is not an uncommon name in this family so it quite possibly is his name also. This is how the 1860 census list these Barton children: Elizabeth 16 S.C. Isaiah 13 Ga. Thomas 9 Ga. I do not know why these Barton children are living with the CREED family. I suspect that sometime between the 1850 and 1860 census Margaret passed away and possibly it was too difficult for Isaac to raise their three youngest children. By 1860 the other children would be adults. I have learned from these census that Isaac moved his family from S.C. to Ga.between 1844 and 1847 based on the children's places of birth. Isaiah - (MY LINE) Born abt. 1846-1847 d. 3/17/1916. He is buried at Bridge Creek Cemetery in Colquitt County,Ga. He has a Southern Cross on his grave that was placed there by the U.D.C. to honor him for his service in the Civil War. He had married Harriet Emaline KELLEY who was b. 1845 in Bay,ThomasCounty, Ga. Isaiah and Harriett's Children- Johnny (JH) b.9/30/1873-d.11/27/1960 Margaret b. abt.1873 James Thomas b.6/7/1876-d.3/21/1956 Johnny - married Pennine (Ninie) Holland in 1899. The story of their marriage was documented in The Moultrie (Colquitt County,Ga.) Observer's Centennial Edition. It was reported in that article that Johnny had walked 8 miles into Moultrie to get his marriage license. As Colquitt celebrated it's centennial they were 83 yrs old and said to be among the oldest living couples who were both from Colquitt County,Georgia although at that time they had moved into Thomas County in Chastain,Ga. Moultrie was the 1st town Johnny had ever visited and they raised 7 children of their own plus they adopted 1 child there. James Thomas - married Martha Jane Harvey. They are both buried at Oakgrove Cemetery in Moultrie,Ga. James and Martha's Children - Shelby Isaiah - 6/18/1916 - 11/19/1984 Cora Mae
