Biography

Thomas Barton Sr. was a Virginia colonist.

Thomas Barton Sr. (Barton-2069) is the earliest known ancestor of his family. His birth date, birth location, arrival method, entry date to Colonial America, Father, Mother and Spouse are all unknown.'

Thomas Barton Sr. (Barton-2069) is the current apparent EKA for at least 2 dozen Barton families with unique EKAs that don't reach back into the 17th Century. This statement is based on him being the most likely man to have started SNP FT96311, which defines Haplogroup R-FT96311. As of 2024 March 10, these ySNP connected EKA families are:

Barton in the Early American Colonies - A Context

Barton families in the 1600s: Three hundred years later, through the 21st Century Barton Surname DNA Project, we can genetically classify four early Barton groups. ^[1]

Barton Lineage I - Southern Colonies - mostly Colonial Virginia, Maryland

Thomas Barton Sr. was one of the early settlers in Colonial Virginia. He wasn't the first, the most prosperous, the most famous, or any other superlative. His story has been subject to much speculation, but we don't know his history or specific ancestry before Stafford County, Colony of Virginia.

Enough of his records and his descendants survived to create this - his special story.

Barton Lineage II - Colonial New York, Headlined by Roger Barton, bc1628

Barton Lineage III/IV - Colonial Massachusetts, headlined by Edward Barton, bc1610

Barton Lineage V - Colonial Rhode Island, headlined by Rufus Barton, bc1606

Thomas Barton’s early records in Stafford County

Many Stafford County records have been lost. Our earliest knowledge of Thomas Barton Sr. begins 11 years after Stafford County was formed

1675 - Thomas Barton & other planters protest failure of Sir Wm Berkeley ^[2]

1677 - Thomas Barton was a signatory In the Stafford County Grievances sent to Sir William Berkeley, ^[3]

1678 - Thomas Barton purchased 400 acres on Quantico Creek in 1678. The record book containing this information is lost, but a 1728 record has been found where Thomas Barton (Jr.) sells land that his father, Thomas Barton (Sr.), had purchased in 1678. This record does two important things - it documents the 1678 land purchase and establishes the father/son relationship of Thomas Barton Sr. and Thomas Barton Jr. ^[4]

1680-09-09 - Thomas Barton and his family worshiped in their own home in at least part of those early years. An early record from Overwharton Parish (Church of England) tells us that Chappowomsicke Church was kept at Thomas Barton's. ^[5]

Thomas Barton’s Stafford Co naming patterns

There are clear naming patterns in the surviving records of Stafford County which help us differentiate between Thomas Barton Sr. (Barton-2069) and Thomas Barton Jr. (Barton-2065). It would be tedious and tiring to deal with the full documentation. Here is a summary of the findings:

1664-1687 - Court records for Thomas Barton are referred to as "Thomas Barton". (This would be Barton-2069, called Thomas Barton Sr." in this profile.)

1687-1697 - Court records are for either "Thomas Barton Sr." or for "Thomas Barton Jr." (This distinction allowed the Court Records a differentiation between two men - though the men were not always father and son.) In this case, we know their relationship is father and son. In Wikitree, we identify these two men as Barton-2069 and Barton-2065.

1697-1724 - Court records for Thomas Barton are simply stated as "Thomas Barton" in the Stafford County records. (In this case, the "Thomas Barton" would be Thomas Barton-2065, the man called "Thomas Barton Jr." in this profile)

No mention of a middle name is found in any Stafford County record for "Thomas Barton", "Thomas Barton Sr.", or "Thomas Barton Jr." (Middle names were uncommon in the 17th Century) If there was a middle name used for Thomas Barton, Sr. Within the family, it is lost to time.

Thomas Barton's estimated birth and death dates

Thomas Barton Sr.'s 1678-07-01 purchase of 400 acres of land on Quantico Creek tells us that he was born no later than 1657, as he had to be 21 years old to buy or sell land. ^[6]

We are able to estimate that Thomas Barton Sr.'s only known son (Thomas Barton Jr.) was born c1666 - as a 16 Nov 1687 court record contains the first mention of Thomas Barton Jr. The Stafford Co VA court record dated 16 Nov 1887 states that "Thomas Barton Jr." was paid 200 pounds of Tobacco for 1 wolf or head. ^[7]

Thomas Barton Sr.'s birth year can be further refined by considering his only known son's birth year. As Thomas Barton Jr. was born c1666, the latest reasonable birth year for Thomas Barton Sr. would be c1650, when he would have been quite young and about 16 years old..

2023 - Family Tree DNA has estimated that ySNP R-FT96311 occurred c1650. This is important to us because Thomas Barton Sr.'s known descendants are R-FT96311. Further, Thomas Barton Sr.'s birth year is the only logical connection to the estimated origin of R-FT96311. ^[8]

21st Century articles have estimated Thomas Barton Sr.'s birth as "1640s". If wikitree birth year field allowed, "1640s" would be a reasonable estimate. However, being limited to an estimate based on a single year, the birth year estimate of his only son - estimated as c1666, and the FTDNA estimate for emergence of R-FT96311 as c1650 - we are left with c1645 as the most reasonable birth year.

Thomas Barton Sr.'s death year is much easier to estimate. Thomas Barton Sr. died before 1697-07-06 - as described in a land record dated 1697-07-06, In this record, we learn that Thomas Barton (Sr.) had much earlier paid for a 100 acre tract near his 400 acre tract on Quantico Creek, but had not received title. This record acknowledges that the 100 acres to be the property of Thomas Barton (Sr.) and that his assignee Thomas Barton Junior (who is apparently settling his father's estate) is inheriting the 100 acres ^[9]

Thomas Barton Sr.'s birth location

Thomas Barton Sr.'s birth location is not known through any surviving record.

Researchers have used the wiki approach to add speculation about where Thomas Barton Sr. may have been born:

Some researchers suggest it is possible that Thomas Barton Sr. was born in Henrico County or Warrosquoyacke/Isle of Wight County and note that Barton/Bartin residents are found in those colonies from 1640-1660.

Records for men named "Thomas Barton" appear regularly in the Head-right Records and men named "Thomas Barton" lived in at least 3 other nearby counties (Accomack and Northampton Counties in Virginia Colony and Baltimore County in Maryland Colony.)

However, there is no record of a Thomas Barton being born or living in Virginia or Maryland (or anywhere else) who can be connected by record (or a combination of records) to "Thomas Barton Sr. of Stafford Co VA".

The chaos and great confusion from the 1994 "The Barton Book"

Sadly, The Barton Book (revised Edition) compiled by Robert Dacus Nally for The Barton Historical Society, copyright 1994, has created chaos for our Barton family by stating erroneously on page 1: - "The following is believed to be the true lineage of Thomas Barton Sr. - JOHN BARTON - hailed from a little village in England called "Barton-in-the Beans" in Surry County, southwest of London. - John stepped off a ship at Newsport (now New Port News) Virginia in 1632 with one servant. - John died ca 1669 and is buried in Surry County, Virginia. - He was the father of Thomas Barton #1. - Information furnished by James Doyle Barton." ^[10]

James Doyle Barton did provide this information, but noted on the very same piece of paper that provided the above information that he had no supporting documentation and that this information should be used only if supporting information was found. ^[11]

Robert Dacus Nally unexpectedly died shortly before this book was published. One must presume that the info that James Doyle Barton provided was included as a placeholder while documentation was sought, and although documentation had not been found, it was still included in the publication. ^[12]

In searching to support or provide insight on James Doyle Barton's report, BHGS ^[13] finds that: 1. There is no surviving information to confirm any part of James Doyle Barton's story or to connect similar details that might exist. (In fact, without this information, there would probably be no reason to even consider these claims) 2. More specifically, there is no "Barton-in-the-Beans" or even a place named "Barton" anywhere in Surry County, England - according to a "google" search on the UK google site. (There is a town named Barton-in-the Beans in Leicestershire, which is in the east midlands of England, well north of London.) 3. There is no record of a John Barton arriving in 1632 (with or without a servant) 4. The only record from the 1630s which mentions a John Barton is a 1638 listing for a Thomas Barton (aka John Barton) in a land purchase record in the Virginia Land Patent Book No 1, Part 2, pp 526-527. (Indications are that the reference to "John Barton" is actually a "Typo" by the recording clerk. These things do happen) 5. There was a John Barton who died in 1679 and was buried in Surry Co. VA, ^[14] but he was a pauper, which puts him in the wrong place and circumstances to have been Thomas Barton Sr.'s father. 6. Also, there is no record which suggests that John Barton was father to Thomas Barton Sr. in Stafford Co VA. (The only known support for this claim is family legend in the Thomas Barton m Sarah Wilson and David Barton m Ruth Oldham families)

CONCLUSION: THERE IS NO BASIS OR DOCUMENTATION FOR THE INFORMATION UNFAIRLY ATTRIBUTED TO JAMES DOYLE BARTON. ^[15]

Land Transaction

Thomas Barton purchased 400 acres of land in Stafford County by "Deed of sale dated the 1st day of July 1678" from Wm. Bourne, Samll. Mase & Mary his wife." For some reason, this land was retained by Wm. Bowrne/Bourne until he "quit claimed and released [the land] to Thos. Barton on 10th October 1685 ...." At some point after the death of Thomas Barton, Sr., title passed to Thomas Barton, Jr., and Grace, his wife. On 10 April 1728 "Thomas Barton acknowledged this Deed of lease & release" and "Grace the wife of Thomas Barton relinquished her Right of Dower ...."^[16]

Barton DNA Project and Barton Lineage I Research Project Learning

Formal Research by Barton Historical and Genealogical Society, Inc. (BHGS) and the Barton Lineage I Research Project ^[17]

BHGS has been conducting a Barton Lineage I Research Project since mid-2018. A very significant part of this research project is the collection of every mention of the name Barton in Virginia, Maryland and surrounds during the Colonial period. To date, 2925 records have been added to the research Evernote account. A substantial additional number of records have been copied but not yet abstracted or added to Evernote. Work continues.

Future plans call for a similar effort in Lancashire, England and surrounds - the source of Barton Lineage I.

Barton Lineage I is defined by SNP R-L196. FTDNA estimates that SNP L196 occurred c1198 CE (1015 CE-1350 CE with 95% certainty). There are two known branches of L196. Both include men with Barton surname. SNP R-A1704 immediately precedes R-L196, also has two branches. Only the L196 branch includes the Barton surname.

BIG Y-700 testing of 72 men known to be Barton Lineage I men by ySYR testing are also included in this research.

The Barton Lineage I Research Project has used a professional researcher over the past 5 years to search known source locations in Virginia, Maryland and nearby locations for every mention of the name "Barton". The Research Project is now working to complete, compile, abstract, & save an online copy of all of the found documents. While it is absurd to claim a finding of all existing documents, the search has been thorough and comprehensive enough that we can now use the absence of any record as a significant finding. (we'll continue updating as the balance of the records are compiled)

Specific absences of of any Thomas Barton Sr. records include:

1. No documentation connecting John Barton-2070 and Thomas Barton-2069

2. No documentation providing any insight re: the father of Barton-2069

3. No documentation providing any insight re: the father of Barton-2069

4. No documentation providing any insight re: the Spouse of Barton-2069

5. No documentation providing middle name for Barton-2069

6. No documentation identifying the first date for Barton-2069 in Colonial America

If anyone has, or locates, a record that they believe supports an edit to Barton-2069, please contact Barton-2392 before changing this profile.

DNA Grouping by Haplogroup FT96311 ^[18]

Thomas Barton Sr. is in Haplogroup R-FT96311, based on known descendants who have been BIG Y tested and is the most likely "founder" of Haplogroup R-FT96311. (Other "Founder" possibilities include Thomas Barton Sr.'s father and grandfather who are both "Unknown" and Thomas Barton Jr. (Thomas Barton Jr. is considered the "least likely" of the four possibilities because that possibility requires the below listed 2 dozen EKAs to all connect through Thomas Barton Jr's sons.)

The following two dozen EKAs are all Haplogroup R-FT96311 - as determined by BIG Y tested Descendant's Haplogroup and paper trail to the EKA. With the exception of the David Barton m Ruth Oldham, they are related through an unknown direct line to Thomas Barton Sr. (David Barton-1281 m Ruth Oldham was executor of Thomas Barton III and is therefore considered to be grandson of Thomas Barton jr.)

Research Notes

Stafford Co was created in 1664 from Westmoreland Co.

Thomas Barton Sr. purchased 400 acres of land on Quantico Creek in Stafford County in 1678. This land was part of 1000 acres in Westmoreland County originally granted 1664-08-23 to John Lord ^[19]

The "Needs Relationship Review" relating John Barton-2070 to Thomas Barton Sr. (Barton-2069) should be removed as it is not needed. John should never have been listed as father of Thomas. [Barton-2392 23:12, 12 October 2023]

The "Needs Sources" for birth/death/marriage dates should be removed, as these issues have been addressed to the extent possible. [Barton-2392 23:12, 12 October 2023]

The "Needs Sources" for the US Southern Colonist Sticker has most likely been addressed

• Needs Relationship Review: No documentation has been located to verify Thomas is the son of John Barton. Further research needs to be done to confirm or deny the relationship. Strutton-11 20:00, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
• Needs Sources: Sources for birth/death/marriage dates and locations, and attached family profiles are needed. Strutton-11 20:00, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
