Barton
The Barton family is traced back to Joseph Barton who
was living in Kentucky about 1790. Through the tireless efforts of Walter
Barton, we traced this family, through marriage, to Hezekiah Thrower of
Brunswick County, Virginia, who was a revolutionary War patriot and provided
food, etc. to the Virginia militia during the Yorktown campaign.
This relationship was established by the marriage of
Mary Alice Freeman to Eldorado Campbell Barton. It is also through the Barton
family that we found the Ahrens relationship and with it a link to the Republic
of Texas. Conrad Ahrens and his family arrived in Galveston, Republic of Texas,
on 1 December 1845.
