DEAR LISTERS, Would love to hear from any descendants of this family!!! Thanks, Donna Merrill FAMILY OF THOMAS PETER BARTON and RHODA N. CALKINS by Donna Merrill dmerrill3@mindspring.com Thomas Peter BARTON, my oldest known ancestor was born 3 July 1805 in Dutchess Co., NY, died 7 Dec 1870 in Erie Co., PA. I have been unable to find out who Thomas's parents were but in 2002 my brother participated in the Barton Family Organization, Phase 2, DNA Project which linked us to the Roger Barton family of Westchester, NY. In the book "The Calkins Family Manuscript" by Mrs. Turney Sharps, it stated that Thomas was born in Dutchess Co., NY in 1805 and was also married there in 1826. Family bible records which came to light a few years ago from Vance MORTON, Steve CUMMINS and more recently, Rhea HANDLEY, state that Thomas was married 28 Apr 1825 in Oswego Co., NY to Rhoda N. CALKINS, b. 12 Sep 1809 in Coburg, Ontario, Canada, d. 29 Jul 1880 in Erie Co., PA. daughter of Salmon CALKINS and Eunice RICHARDSON. Both Thomas Peter and Rhoda N. Calkins BARTON were buried at Phillipsville Cemetery in Erie Co., PA. The dates on the headstone support their birth and death date! s. I also have obituaries for Thomas and Rhoda from the Erie Morning Dispatch, Erie Co., PA. Thomas and Rhoda are found listed on the 1830 Census of Jefferson Co., NY. Further research at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah has not revealed any paper trail for them in Jefferson or Oswego Co., NY. Rhoda had most of her family living in the Jefferson/Oswego County, NY area at that time. Thomas and Rhoda are next found listed on the 1840 and 1850 Census of Trenton Village, Oneida Co., NY where the remainder of their children were born. One child , Lewis King BARTON died there 3 Oct 1841. There are some deed records on Thomas in Oneida County. Thomas and Rhoda then migrated to Greene Twp., Erie Co., PA before 1860 and settled there. Many of Rhoda's siblings lived there then moved on to Michigan or Wisconsin. Listed below are the children of Thomas & Rhoda Calkins Barton. A) Lewis b. 19 Feb 1826 in Oswego Co., NY d. 26 Feb 1826.
