Dear Bartons et.al., Can anyone help me with THOMAS BARTON OF STAFFORD, VIRGINIA? Here's what I have so far. I need wife and children if possible. Also, I would like to print out a map of the original land deed, but need more than the creek and county to actually get the area in question. Anyone familiar with the area? Thanks and best wishes, Ron English, Killeen,TX Thomas Barton (# 1) Birth Date: About 1640/1641 Birth Place: Stafford County, VA Notes: Thomas Barton (#1) bought land in Stafford County, Virgina by deed dated 1 July 1678. He purchased four hundred acres, more or less, "being the upper most part of a greater tract of two thousand acres granted to Captain John Lord by Berkeley, Governor of Virginia" (patent dated 27 Sept 1664) situate, lying and being on Quantico Creek, which when granted was in Westmorland County. When Thomas purchased the land it was in Stafford County, sold and conveyed to Thomas Barton by William Bourne, Samuel Mase and Mary his wife. The wife and number of children of Thomas Barton (#1) us unknown. We do know that one of his sons was Thomas Barton (#2). It is believed by some researchers that he had sons named John and Walter.
