Subject: [BARTON-L] Reposting to Listing

Recently there was a posting to one of the lists to which I subscribe that
suggested that we can't possibly remember all of the postings for a long
period of time and it may be beneficial for each of us to repost from time
to time. I'm endorsing that idea and at the same time suggesting that the
posting be a little more descriptive to include siblings or other close
relatives that may help each of us to compare your total request with some
of the information we may have in our own files, but without the siblings or
relatives may not have been able to tie ours to yours. The posting that I
made previously was essentially as follows: I'm looking for any and all
information anyone may have about William Barton, his wife Elizabeth and any
of their children. Apparently William and Elizabeth were born in Ireland
about 1795 and with one daughter Mary, b 1820 in Ireland left there and went
to Nova Scotia. Two daughters, Rebecca and Isabella and one son George were
born there in 1823,1825 and 1827 respectively. The next time I find them is
in 1850 in Beaver County, Pa. The children now include Richard S. b 1831,
William A. b 1836 and Alice Jane b 1841. Does anyone have any information
at all on Wm/Eliza or any of these seven children? Mary married Wm McNary,
Rebecca married Thomas Barton, Isabella married John Smith, George ??,
Richard married Eliza ??, Wm A. married Mary Ellen Thompson and Alice Jane
married Edward Boots. How about it out there, do any of the names ring any
bells with you???? Clark
