Cal:

Although I don't have your Robert Marion Barton in any of my records, I do
have Benjamin Barton. I am a descendant of Benjamin & Dorcas (Anderson)
Barton's son Matthew.

To take a look at my Barton information, visit the following page:
http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/t/r/e/Beth-Trestrail/

If I have documentation and./or sources, they are given. Some of the
information is through the family "grapevine" and is still undocumented. If
there's no credit for a source, it is not yet verified. You will find that
the data ends abruptly. I do not post information about living relatives
online.

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance...

Beth Trestrail

Let me know if I can answer any questions for you.-----Original Message-----
