A HISTORY OF SOUTHERN OHIO COUNTIES by Rev. Gilruth shown Joseph Barton as a son of Kimber and Elizabeth Barton ( pg 20 and 21 ) THE FRENCH GRANTS OLD TIMES by James Gilruth, March 28, 1872. from The Lawrence Co Genealogy Soc. Newsletter Nov 1992 Pg 7 says that Joseph Barton was a son of Kimber and Elizabeth Barton ----------------------------------------------------------------- It seems that his sons Stephen and William were of age in 1822/23 as they signed a court paper which they couldn't have done as minors. It is hardly possible that they were Capt. Joseph Barton's son but probably were his brothers or cousins as Kimber, son of Joseph married first in 1840. ------------------------------------------------------------ From FREDERICK RECTOR'S SONS He had 9 sons and four daughter. One daughter, Elizabeth, married Joseph Barton.
