• Notes

  Source: Melissa Hennigar Parrish: "... in the 1860 Georgia census in Gordon County, Oothcalooga township (P.O. Calhoun, p. 6). The make up of the family was this: John W. Barton, age 30, born in South Carolina. Occupation - farm laborer. Martha A. Barton, age 30, born in Georgia. Occupation - domestic. [This is probably an census error for Martha A. Barton's age.) Sarah E. Barton, age 10, born Georgia Malinda C. Barton, age 7, born Georgia Sanford H. Barton, age 6, born Georgia Mary A. Barton, age 3, born Georgia Martha M. Barton, age 2, born Georgia Hester A. Barton, age 1/12, born Georgia."
