Looking for any info on George M Barton. I know he died September 6, 1843 (at the age of 49) but I don't have his date of birth. He was born in Dumfries, Scotland, and in 1817 he moved (don't know why) to Nova Scotia. He was a 22 year member of the Masonic Fraternity, belonging to the Royal Sussex Lodge, No. 704, on the Registry of England. On September 10, 1843, he was given a Masonic Funeral in the city of Halifax, N.S., so I am under the assumption that he was laid to rest in the town he lived in or near. From information I acquired from THE PRESBYTERIAN WITNESS (Halifax newspaper) it seems that he had a wife: Charlotte Barton (maiden name: Mason) died 1854 (July?) at age 51, a daughter Elizabeth Mary Cleverly (wife of Capt. Henry Cleverly ) died 1856 (Sept?) at age 36, and another daughter Sarah Jane Barton died 1856 (Sept?) at age 29. Does anybody out there recognize this family, or any other members that I can add to it? I am trying to create a link between George, and my great great grandfather Joseph H. Barton. Joseph and his wife Adelade (Young) had one daughter Ida Wadswoth Marsh in 1885. Does anyone recognize these names??? I am so new to this geneology thing...and I could use all the help I could get. Thank you, Annick Barton Devery-Duz
