We just returned from a fifty mile trip to Gassy, Lauderdale Co., AL. Grassy is about fifty miles west of Meridianville where we live. We found one Cemetery, Grassy Cemetery of all things. It is on the north side of Alabama H'way 64 next to Grassy Memoria Chapel. We found one very interesting double tomb Stone. It reads Marion H. Barton 1861 - 1937 and Ida Barton 1872 - 1952. Did anyone know Marion H. married again after Mary F. Chamberless Barton died in 4/30/1915? We do not know the Maiden name of Ida arton. They are the only Bartons in the Cemetery.
From Debby: You have certainly been busy finding good clues lately! I wonder if any descendants still live around Grassy?

Am looking for her parents. I know she married Melford Melvin in 1877, in Indiana. Can anyone help me????
From Debby: Check out the 1860 census of Walker Co., AL in the Moses and Mary A. Barton family. They have a Nancy J. about the right age. I don't know if this is the Nancy J. you're looking for, but she's worth researching to see.

Comments:
Martha J. tyra/tyree is found on the 1880 Census for Marion co. with three sons: Manuel A."Buck" Tyra/Tyree, J. Joshua, and William Homer. Two of the sons are found on the 1900 census of Wiston Co. at Double Springs. M.A. Buck Tyra married Della Cockrell on Apr. 23, 1893. William Homer married Sarah Jane Pigg on Feb 24 1897. I would appreciate any info or assistance you could provide. I have an aunt Ada Webb who still lives in Double Springs, who has provided some background on Great-grand parents however she could not recall Martha J. Tyra/Tyree's husbands name or what her aiden name was. She thought is was Beazzel, Beasley. or Bazzel.
From Debby: There were several Martha Beasley's listed on the 1860 census of Winston Co. 1. One Martha was 21 years old, born in NC, listed in the household of Silas Beasley who was 65, b. NC. 2. A 2 years old Martha, b. AL, listed in the household of Silas M. Beasley who was 36 and born in NC. 3. A three year old Martha, b. AL, listed in the household of William Beasley, 33, NC. 4. There was also a Martha ? who md. Joseph Beasley (28; NC). Lila Ann Harris, a Barton descendant md. Clarence Tyree and had children: Adene, Hester, Earl, Othene and Ruth. I don't know if any of these may be related to your Tyree's.

Question of the Barton Clan In March 1861 {William Marion Henry} Marion H. Barton and In February 1864 {Andrew Jackson Jonathan} J. J. Barton was born, we have for years speculated as to whose children they were. In the back of most everyone mind we had the idea they were the sons o William Henry and Martha Weaver Barton. (According to Hoole in "Alabama Tories" Barton, William H. Pvt. Co. L 1st ALA Cal. Andersonville died a POW 9/1/1864 ) Martha Weaver Barton was the Daughter of Peter and Martha Weaver. A grave stone in Sardis Baptist Church Cemetery, In Sacried Memory of Martha Barton Formly Weaver was born Oct 30 AD 1840 Died March 28th AD 1871 age 30 years 4 month 28 days. This Grave is next to Peter Weaver, his Grave stone Peter Weaver husband of Armindia Weaver born Apr 6 1812 died Dec 25 1877. In book 8 of deeds of Winston Co., AL on pages 497-499 is a conveyance of land belonging to Peter Weaver. The date is November 7, 1886 on the affidavit. The signers were Benjamin Weaver, A.J. Weaver (mark), John Weaver, E.A.M. Weaver (mark), S.M. Weaver, .E. Weaver, W.M. Davis, H.A. Davis (mark), L.H. Davis , A.J. Davis (mark) E Cagle (mark), M.E. Cagle (mark), Arminda Weaver(mark), N.E. Weaver(mark), R.A. Moody, M.H. Barton, M.F. Barton, V.J. Barton, J.J. Barton, and J.Z. Moody. Affidavit for the following people. The State of Tennessee} Personally appeared before me WW Robertson a Notary Public in and Wayne County} for said county and state, the within named MH Barton the bargainer, with whom I am personally acquainted, and who acknowledged that he executed the within deed or instrument for the purposed therein contained. Witness my hand and official seal , this 16 day of Nov. 1896 WW Robertson, Notary Public And M.F. Barton, wife of the said MH Barton having personally appeared before me, privately and a part from her husband the said M.F. Barton, acknowledged the execution of said deed to have been done by her freely, voluntarily, and understandingly, withou compulsion or constraint, from her said husband, and for the purpose therein expressed. Witness, my hand and official seal this 16, day of Nov. 1896 WW Robertson, Notary Public The state of Tennessee} Personally appeared before me WW Robertson a Notary Public in and Wayne County} for said County and State, the within named J.J. Barton the bargainer, with whom I am personally acquainted, and who acknowledged that he executed the within deed or instrument for the purpose therein contained. Witness, my hand and official seal, this the 16, day of Nov. 1896 WW Robertson, Notary Public And V.J. Barton, wife of the said J.J. Barton having personally appeared before me privately and apart from husband the said V.J. Barton acknowledged the execution of said deed to have been done by her freely , voluntarily and understanding, without com ulsion or constraint , from her husband, and for the purpose therein named. Witness my hand and official seal, this 16, day of Nov. 1896 WW Robertson, Notary Public Let us look at the people who signed this conveyance. Henry Weaver (son of Peter and Martha Weaver) His wife Martha Weaver Benjamin Weaver (son of Peter and Arminda Weaver) His wife Anna L. Weaver John Weaver (son of Peter and Arminda Weaver) His wife E.A.M. Weaver Arminda Weaver 2nd wife of peter Weaver She is buried in The Peter Weaver plat in Sardis Baptist Cemetery, behind Peter. Peter and Martha are buried next to one another. Martha E. Weaver is buried on his other side, She died on March 28, 1871. So Martha died 1st then Ma tha E. Weaver Barton. Samuel Weaver His wife M.E. Weaver Hestor A. Weaver Davis (daughter of Peter and Arminda Weaver) Her husband W.M. Davis Sarah J. Weaver Davis (daughter of Peter and Arminda Weaver) Her husband L.H. Davis Nancy E. Weaver (daughter of Peter and Martha Weaver) Rosella A. Moody (daughter of Peter and Arminda Weaver) Her husband J.Z. Moody J.J. Barton (grand son of Peter and Martha Weaver) His wife V.J. Barton M. H. Barton (brother of J.J. Barton therefore grand son of Peter and Martha Weaver) His wife M.F. Barton You ask how we can state J.J. and M.H. Barton as the grandsons of Peter and Martha Weaver. We know that Henry Weaver and Martha Weaver Barton are siblings. They are the children of Peter and Martha Weaver. Also J.J. Barton is listed in the 1880 Winston Co., Al census in the household of Henry Weaver as nephew. J.J. and M.H. are brothers. Would this not make them the grandsons of Peter and Martha Weaver?
From Debby: What we really need to straighten this matter up is the 1850 & 1860 census for the Peter Weaver family. We need to find out for sure if he had a daughter named Nancy who was old enough to be the mother of Marion and Andrew [Jonathan] Jackson Barton. Des endants of Peter Weaver have said Peter's dau., Nancy md. a Barton. Descendants of Jackson and Marion say they've been told their ancestor was Nancy (Weaver) Barton. The problem is, according to the 1870 census, Nancy was only 12 years old. At that time, Jackson was 7 years old. The only way Nancy Weaver) Barton (the dau. of Peter Weaver and the niece of Henry Weaver) could be the mother of Jackson and Marion was if Peter Weaver had two daus. named Nancy. That sounds far-fetched, but Marion had two bros.-in-law named John Chambless. I've come across several other families who named two children in their family the same name. I don't believe there were two Nancy's. I think Martha Weaver an William H. Barton were the parents of Jackson and Marion, but it would be nice to get hold of the 1850 and 1860 census for the Peter Weaver family. Peter Weaver bought land in Winston Co. in 1859, but I don't find a listing for him in the 1860 census. There was a Peter Weaver in the 1850 GA census, but I've never looked him up and don't know if he's the Peter Weaver we need.

Do you have the dates on Moses Barton. Doing research in Winston Co., AL this week I crossed a deed where a Mosses and his wife Martha A. Barton sold land to a William M. Jackson. The date was January 19, 1876. Winston County Book of deeds 8 pages 4/5. Wa this Mosses Barton the one from Walker Co., AL. or descendent of his owning land in Winston Co.
From Debby: Moses, the son of James Allen Barton, the son of Moses ( the patriarch of the Walker Co. Bartons), was living in Winston Co. during the 1870 census. He was md. to Martha Fry, the sister of Caleb Fry who md. Martha Elizabeth League. Caleb was the father of Simon Kimsey Fry who md. Sarah Ann Harris, the dau. of Francis and Delila (Barton) Harris. [Delila who was the dau. of Willis.] Martha E izabeth League Fry was the sister of Cicero who md. Margaret Barton, dau. of Willis. Martha was also the sister of Robert who md. Margaret Barton, the dau. of Jonathan, the son of Willis. Quite a tangle, but, to get back to the Moses who lived in Winsto Co., he's the one who moved to OK and lived so close to my Bartons. My family always referred to him as "Uncle Mose." They knew he was related, but couldn't quite figure out how. Now for another puzzler: Can anyone identify #42 enumerated in the 1860 Winston Co. Census as follows: Early Barton 30; AL Laura 21; AL James 5; AL Mary 3; AL William 2/12; AL Although I've come across several Early Bartons, I haven't been able to figure out who this one is.

This message is for a Barton researcher who isn't on the net. She's descended from Joseph Barton (b. 1823) who resided in Richmond Co., NC during the 1850 census. He md. Mary and they had: Thomas A., Mary, Eliza H., Wm. P., J. (or T., a dau.), Emma and Nancy R. Anyone have data on this family?
