Hi Barbara,

Here's what I found out about James for you:

James Barton, almost certainly a brother of Lt. Col. Joseph Barton, died
after 1798. He married, 20 May 1759, Elizabeth Westbrook, daughter of
Richard (Dirk) Westbrook and his wife Janneke, of Sussex County, NJ.
James and Elizabeth were grantors in Sussex in 1765, and he may have been
the James, "late of New Jersey", who was grantee in 1791, and the James
who advertised land for sale in Ulster County in 1798 (Rising Sun of
Kingston, 13 Jan. 1798). The family lived at the Wallpack area and
belonged to the Dutch Church there. Some of the Dutch records give the
surname as "Bartron", "Barthron", etc. but there is sufficient evidence
to make certain that these are misspellings of "Barton" and not another
name.

This James did have a daughter Sarah, b. about 1776; m. Thomas Brink.

Other children are Daniel, Mary, Blandina, Lydia, David, Jane, James
(bapt 8 June 1777) and Richard.

I hope this helps,
Bambi
