I have been away from genealogy for a few months but with Dorothy's suggestion that we all post again here goes: I am searching for the parents of David Barton who married Elizabeth F. McCormack (dau of Macajah and Fannie McCormack) in Bedford County, VA on Dec. 22, 1792. Consent on marriage was given by Thomas and Sarah Barton. David Barton died in Bedford Co. July 13, 1858. His death records states he was 90 years old at the time of death making him born approx. 1768. It also says he was born in Prince William County, Virginia. The informant was his son William. I cannot connect this David Barton to any of the known Thomas and Sarah Bartons of Prince William and Fauquier Counties but he had to have come from this family of Bartons who were in Maryland and then into Westmoreland, Northumberland, Strafford, Fauquier and Prince William Counties in VA. If he was born in 1768 and married in 1792, he would have been 24 at the time of his marriage and why was it necessary for him to have the consent of his parents. Or was this just a way of noting surety and not really consent? David had 9 children born in Bedford Co. Has anyone run across any Thomas and Sarah Barton other than the ones so often discussed? Any help would be appreciated. Sue Oden Williamson County, TN
