Surnames: Barton Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/lMB.2ACI/2193.3.1.3.1 Message Board Post: I hope we can fill in some blanks for each other. That is my family Mr. Fritz found in the census. I will look through my information tonight to see if I can find any of the names you mentioned. I would have to believe that the Barton's in Dunklin county were cousins of some sort. I know that William Floyd (Joe) Barton had 2 half sisters. All three siblings had different fathers. Rosetty Garner bn Aug. 8 1885 (married Elijah Wheeler on Dec 24 1902) and Millie Jane Bryant bn Aug 10 18??. I have a copy of my grand father's (Willie Lloyd Barton) birth certificate. It shows William Floyd's birthplace as Kentucky. I have a copy of Vernie Barton's Obituary, but it doesn't give too much insight into the Barton family other than childrens names and locations. William & Vernie had 8 children: Uvah Johnson Coy Barton Virgina (Vergie) Shrum Brown Ollin Barton Ollie Mae Gentry Barney Barton Willie Lloyd Barton I know that's only 7 but I cant think of the 8th. My grandfather was the youngest. I have a cousin (Ollie Mae's granddaughter) who is also trying to trace the geneology of the family. I will see if she is familiar with the names you mentioned. I hope this helps in some way. Thank you so much for your information and for passing on Mr. Fritz's info.
