Hi Kim, Yes, you missed my response :) For the source of Samuel Barton as father of Rufus, I quote pg 3379 of FIRST FAMILIES OF AMERICA THE ABRIDGED COMPENDIUM OF AMERICAN GENEALOGY The Standard Genealogical Encyclopedia of THE FIRST FAMILIES OF AMERICA EDITED BY FREDERICK A. VIRKUS VOLUME I 1925 F. A. VIRKUS & COMPANY Genealogical Publishers 440-442 S. Dearborn Street Chicago, Ill which shows a decendancy chart beginning with Samuel. There are also the following IGI film numbers which list Rufus as the son of Samual, born about 1606 in England: Film Number: 2034346 Film Number: 2034392 Film Number: 2034461 Film Number: 2078069 Film Number: 2034760 As for the source of Margaret Hunnewell, that information was taken from several web sites, including Dana K Berry's, however, none of them have documented proof. I would welcome documented proof otherwise so that I have provable source. Ok, for Benjamin Barton (Andrew, Benjamin, Rufus) I won't contest that the two sons I have listed are from different mothers, since I don't even have any mothers listed! :) If you can give source on the two women you list, I will gladly add them to my database to correct the information. My source for Rhoda Carver's birthdate, as well as the birthdates and names of their children (except for George Washington Barton) is the book Hartwells in America by Lyman Willard Densmore, Hartwell-Lorenzen Inc. Saginaw, Michigan. 1956. Thanks for all the info Kim, I'll will be processing it into my database later today :) Christi Calvert Brogan Proud Rootsweb Donor Visit our list pages at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/cbrogan Visit our personal homepage at http://users.idworld.net/brogan
