• Notes

  Source: Melissa Hennigar Parrish: Hester Barton and Sanford Hamilton Barton were brother and sister. "Hester's death certificate names her parents as John Barton and Marta Goss. Census records (after her marriage to William) show her as born in Georgia and the 1880 census gives her parents' birthplace as Georgia also. Working from this I found Hester and her parents 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."
