Biography

Anne (Green) Barton was a Virginia colonist.

Anne was the daughter of Virginia tobacco planter, William "Stafford" Green and wife Ann (Scarlett) Green, daughter of Martin Scarlett. She was born in Stafford Co., Virginia, in late 1664.^[1] At about age 17, in 1681-82, she married planter Edward Barton, b. ca. 1663-1664, and they had 4 daughters: Margaret, Ann, Constantine (aka Constant) and Lettice. Although at least one family genealogy states they married in Lancashire, England, this is unlikely; other sources say in Staffordshire, Virginia.

Anne (Green) Barton died after October 15, 1700, when her husband deposed a statement of forgiven debt to himself and his wife and four daughters, named in the document, coming from Anne's mother, Ann Scarlett, and before December 31, 1700. See: Stafford Co., VA Deed & Will Book 1699-1709 (The Antient Press) p.103-104 - cited on: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=adgedge&id=I50971 - says Ann died before 1701.

Anne was still alive on this date.

• "Stafford Co., VA Deed & Will Book 1689-1693" (The Antient Press) p.263a - cited on: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=adgedge&id=I50971 - cites a Sep. 3, 1692, document that says Anne was "aged about 27 yeares..." Thus she was born around November 1664.

• http://www.geni.com/people/Anne-Barton/6000000009964897872?through=6000000000951169752#/tab/overview - says born 1668 but then only 12 at 1680 marriage - unlikely, even in colonial Virginia. More-likely born in late 1664 and married 1681 or 1682.

• http://kentuckykindredgenealogy.com/tag/stafford-county-virginia/ - resume of the Will of Ann Scarlett, Gentlewoman, of Stafford County, dated February 16, 1698, proved August 10, 1698: To daughter Anne Barton for life, slave and 10,000 pounds tobacco... Shows Anne Barton still alive in 1698... Also gives the first name "Constantine" for her daughter whereas other sources say "Constant" - clearly a shortened form of the official name.

• http://genforum.genealogy.com/barton/messages/5675.html - Excellent resume of research on Anne Barton & family but repeats (mistaken, I believe) birth year of 1668; then says married in 1688 but cites 2 daughters born before 1685 - this was not possible in colonial Virginia in this social class. Marriage was no later than 1682. Cites various Wills & Docs. All these Source Notes by Chet Snow, January 26, 2015.
