The line that I am referring to is the family of Richard Barton. My family
has been in Vt since the late 1700's, when Richard II chose to move to
Bennington Vt. My father was born in Bennington. Richard (and therefore me)
is a direct descendent of Rufus Barton who may or may not have been a brother
of Roger. There is some dispute both ways. I have all the names and dates
from Rufus to me. I am in the process of obtaining the "paper trail" (birth
cert, death cert etc). It is slow because I am on the west coast. As far as I
can determine there were at least 2-3 male children born in each generation
except for my g-grandfather Harry Gray Barton. This would lead one to think
that there are a lot of Barton descendents in the area. However, I am
constantly finding names of ancestors but no one else seems to be looking for
any of these people. Or if they are, they are not sharing. I will gladly
share any info that I have if you are interested. I keep hoping that I will
find someone else who is looking.
Best always in your own search. Lea Barton
