My great-grandfather was Benjamin Barton a/k/a Dick Barton. He was born in Arkansas in January, 1858. He married my great-grandma Lizzie Sprall, she was born in Ohio, May 1862, both of her parents were from Germany - I do not know their names. They had four children (I am quite sure they were all born in Ft. Smith, Sebastian County, Arkansas - definitely in Arkansas):

Pearl Barton - daughter born in Aug. 1887
Hutten Barton - son born in January 1890
Allie Barton - daughter born on April 9, 1892 (my Grandmother)
Myrtle Barton - daughter born April 1897

My grandmother, Allie Barton, married my grandfather, Walter Earl Lane (also born in Ft. Smith, Arkansas on February 28, 1884).

Walter and Allie Lane had three children:

Mary and Joseph Lane born on March 17, 1913 - twins - in Ft. Smith, Arkasas
