He's talking about Barton Coats and Notley Coats lines of SC....I really believe the Coats in SC are related to a Barton group somewhere....:) ----Original Message Follows---- From: Rob Barton <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] To: [email protected], Terry Barton <[email protected]> Subject: BARTONs in Frederick County Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2004 19:15:45 -0400 I have been aware if this line for some time but know of no researcher working the line. The names of the children appear to match two known lineages, the most likely is the BARTON group in Dauphin County, PA (some in northern York) part of which is Doug CHURCH's line. The names Samuel & Isaac also appear in the line of Lewis BARTON, of Baltimore County. Part of his line appeared in Caswell County, NC (once part of Orange Co.) in the later part of the 18th century and were located in an area where a lot of folks went further south, into SC. Go to RootsWeb's Frederick Co. site and do a search for the BARTON surname in Frederick. I did a quick search and found several group sheets posted by someone that is not related but had the data. What is there may be of some use. http://www.mdgenweb.org/ Rob Barton
