> > My Barton line is as follows: > > 1. Thomas Barton born in England married to Ann Borton born Oct 18, 1660 in Anyhoe, Northammpton, England > 2. Edward Barton (son of Thomas & Ann) born Nov 29, 1682 in New Jersey married to Sarah Woolston born July 9, in Burlington Co., New Jersey > 3. Aaron Barton (son of Edward & Sarah) born abt. 1722 in Burlington Co., New Jersey married to Bathsheba Antram born Nov 9, 1730 in Burlington Co., New Jersey > 4. Issac Barton (son of Aaron & Bathsheba) born Jan 8, 1754 in Upper Springfield, Burlington Co., New Jersey married to Sarepta Gaunt born Sept 5, 1755 in Upper Springfield, Burlington Co., New Jersey > 5. Hannah Barton (daughter of Issac & Sarepta) born Oct 13, 1792 in Burlington Co., New Jersey married to Philetus Sweatland born July 19, 1780 in Kent, Litchfield, Connecticut In Appendix B of Robert W. Ramsey's Carolina Cradle: Settlement of the Northwest Carolina Frontier, 1747-1762, the following names are listed as "A Partial List of Quakers Appearing (1675-1747) in the Records of Monthly Meetings at Burlington, New Jersey...[and other places]. The Burlington list includes BARTONS with the first names of Aaron, Edward, John, Mary, Thomas and William; and three BORDENs, Jonathan, Joseph and Obadiah. However, in the main text, in a 7-page chapter "Quakers and Baptists on the Northwest Frontier," the author mentions only a John and a Benjamin, and then only by saying they were somewhere in western NC, and that evidence "strongly suggests" they were Quakers. In another chapter, "In the Forks of the Yadkin, 1752-1762," in one of the only other references in the book to BARTONs, Ramsey says "Benjamin and John Barton may have removed to Frederick County (Maryland) from Bucks or Burlington County--or they may have originated in Somerset County, Maryland." He cites various Burlington County Quaker records as references. Does anyone have evidence of Burlington County BARTONS moving to North Carolina during this time period, and if so, of who, and where exactly did they move? My continuing concern is in finding the precise identity and ancestry of the Thomas Barton who is listed in tax and land records of Sullivan Co TN (then NC) in 1790 and 1796. I do not believe he belongs in either in the Isaac/Joshua or Thomas/David (Oldham) lines. John Ottinger Madison, WI
