Put this together with p. 1 of Murrays
published Deeds of Warren Co., KY , 2nd book of 1812 to 1821,
"2 Mar 1812 Peter Thompson (signed also by Ellinder
Thompson, relationship not stated) to James Gibson, for
$30.00, 190 acres part of 200 acres granted to said Thompson
in1811, being on the waters of Drake's Creek. wit: John Hudson,
Joseph Gibson. We should be fairly certain these are Jane
(Thompson) Barton's parents. We have not seen that Jane
named a son, Peter, but she did name a dau. Elinor!
[JG: This has been proven wrong by court papers.]


Yes, we do know who Samuel Barton, Esquire, was. Remember that he
was a land agent and early into Davidson Co., TN. He was
called "The old Entry Taker". He came at least by 1793 from
Caswell Co., NC. No genealogist that I know of has connected
him to any of the Barton lines that have been researched.
