Dear All, Since there have been recent repostings of family lists, I thought I would try again. Is anyone on the list a descendant or family member of my line? Or can anyone fill in any of the ??? in my data or give additional info or facts. I would really like to know what unit and battles Robert Watson Barton participated in during the Civil War. My grandfather is Robert Wain Barton. Best wishes, Ron English, Killeen,TX 1.
