Cathy says there is grave in Fordland, MO about 1/2 mile from where Aquilla and Sarah  are buried which is marked, "Aquilla Barton."  The stone is so old the dates can't be read.  A Mr. Triplett told Cathy this older Aquilla was the father of Aquilla who md. Sarah Henslee.  Mr. Triplett got this information from his mother who was the younger sister of Aquilla who md. Sarah Henslee.   Mr. Triplett's mother also told him the older Aquilla's wife's name was Elizabeth.  Mr. Triplett is 98 years old .  Cathy would like to know if anyone has a list of Aquilla and Elizabeth's children or know the names of  his parents?  Could his parents be Lewis and Johanna (Simmons) Barton or Lewis and Sarah (Dorman) Barton?
