Generation No. 1
1. SAMUEL3 BARTON ((MATTHEW2, EDWARD1)1,2 was born Abt. 1664 in Salem, Essex Co., Massachusetts,
and died September 12, 1732 in Oxford, Worcester Co., Massachusetts1.
He married HANNAH BRIDGES 16902,
daughter of EDMUND BRIDGES and SARAH TOWNE.
She was born June 09, 1669 in Salem, Essex Co., Massachusetts3, and
died March 13, 1716/17 in Oxford, Worcester Co., Massachusetts or March
13, 1727?4. Samuel, of Salem, Framingham, & Oxford, yeoman,
founder of the Bartons of Oxford. The name of Samuel Barton appears
first in public records in 1683, when he was about 19 years old & witnessed
a deed in Wells, Me., to James Ross of the same town. In 1687 Capt. John
Gerrish of Dover, N. H. mentions in a small book of business details, connected
with his sawmill at Bellamy Bank, that among those who assisted in work on
a bridge at Madbury, N.H., was Samuel Barton. In 1692 Samuel Barton, then
aged about 28 yrs was a witness for Elizabeth Proctor, wife of John Proctor,
in the witchcraft troubles at Salem. In the spring of 1693 members of the
Towne, Bridges, Barton, Cloyes & Elliot families from Salem Village started
to settle in the plantation of Framingham which in 1700 was incorporated as
the town of Framingham, in Middlesex Co. Among them was Samuel Barton, whose
2nd child, Mercy, was born at Framingham May 22, 1694. In the Middlesex (Mass.)
Deeds, Vol. 21, p. 471, is entered a deed, dated February 11, 1706/7 but
not recorded until January 26, 1721/2, from Joseph Buckminster of Framingham
to Samuel Barton of the same town, husbandman, conveying, in consideration
of L13, current money of New England, a tenement consisting of upland, swampland,
and meadow, situated in the township of Framingham & in the actual possession
of said Barton, to wit, 50 acres of upland & swampland, 3 1/2 acres of
meadow, 2 acres lying in the Great Mcadow, adjoining a meadow commonly called
Provender's Point, and 1 1/2 acres lying near Stony Brook, adjoining Daniel
Elliott's land, with buildings, etc. Some of the lands were on a brook, since
called Barton's Brook, a tributary of Hopkinton River. By 1716 Samuel Barton
had fully decided to move from Framingham to Oxford, then in Suffolk Co. but
in 1731 included in the newly formed Worcester Co. In the Middlesex Deeds,
Vol. 21, p 472, is recorded a deed, dated 19 June 1716 but not recorded until
26 Jan. 1721/2, from Samuel Barton, Sr., of Framingham, husbandman, conveying
to Edward Goddard, also of Framingham, in consideration of L180, 50 acres,...with
2 dwelling houses & a smith's shop. On the day on which he sold his
Framingham homestead he bought another at Oxford, comprising 1/13 of the
English settlement at Oxford, the site of the earlier Huguenot settlement;
& thus he became one of the thirty landed settlers, or proprietors, of
Oxford Village. The transaction is embodied in a deed, dated June 19, 1716,
acknowledged October 19, 1716, and recorded November 6, 1719, from Jonathan
Provender of Framingham, husbandman, in consideration of L85, current money
of New England, one home lot, containing by estimation 40 acres, and also
10 acres adjoining on the south, 50 acres on Long Hill, 2 acres of meadow,
on the brook, below the sawmill, 2 1/2 acres and 30 rods of meadow on the
river, all rights of common & undivided lands for said home lot, &
other lands and meadows, all of said lands being a part (about 1/13) of the
village of Oxford, together with 1/4 of a cornmill & 1/4 of a sawmill,
standing on the home lot aforesaid, & 1/4 part of all millstones, irons,
& other appurtenances, together with all woods, waters, etc., belonging
thereto. (Suffolk Deeds, Vol 34 pg 101). This was an extremely wise purchase,
for it made him one of the landed proprietors of the English settlement
at Oxford & part owner of the Elliott Mills. In 1720 John Towne (son
of Jacob Towne, & 1st cousin of Samuel's wife) , Samuel, Abiel Lamb,
& Joseph Wiley, all members of other churches, met together & declared
that they would do all that they could to found & build a church of Christ
in Oxford. Finally, on January 3, 1720/1, the church was formally organized
with the assistance of Rev. Josiah Dwight of Woodstock, Rev. Joseph Dorr
of Mendon, & others. Samuel & his wife were among those who signed
the covenant. Samuel was dismissed from the church in Framingham on January
15, 1720/1. By a deed dated August 15, 1721 & acknowledged March 28,
1722 Samuel of Oxford, husbandman, conveyed to Ebenezer Learned of Oxford,
for L16, a meadow of 2 1/2 acres & 30 rods on the east side of the river,
in Oxford Village (Suffolk Deeds, Vol. 36 p. 156); & by a deed dated
April 4, 1722 & acknowledged October 29, 1722 Samuel of Oxford, yeoman,
conveyed to Daniel Hovey of Ipswich 50 acres on Long Hill, in Oxford Village
(ib., Vol 36, p. 204) from "The New England Historical and Genealogical Register"

MOORE and DOROTHY LEARNED. She was born
April 12, 1747 in Oxford, Worcester Co., Massachusetts14, and died November 11, 1838 in Oxford, Worcester Co.,
Massachusetts. 1766; Dr. Stephen Barton leased the house of Obadiah
McIntire of Charlton to run a tavern. (History of Oxford page
233) Studied with Dr. Green of Leicester, Massachusetts14
Leading organizer of Social Library, Oxford, Massachusetts14
Bef. 1775, with Jonathan & Ephraim Ballard, Thomas Towne, Ebenezer Moore,
to Maine15 Lived Vassalboro, ME for a time14
"In the year 1740 Edmond Barton and his wife Anna (Flynt)
Barton, of Salem, Mass., were living in Sutton, now Millbury, Mass., where
their first child, Stephen was born. Stephen had eight brothers and sisters,
two brothers coming to Maine. Flynt locating in the town of Sidney, and Luke
to Hancock, probably near what is now the town of Brooks. I believe the Bartons
in Winslow are his descendants...Stephen was well educated, a fine penman,
as a glance of his old account book will prove. Mr. Richard Rogers was his
first teacher. Mr. Rogers was the first school teacher of a school in Oxford,
Mass. He was the most accomplished teacher of his time, not only in English
and Latin, but was
noted for his fine penmanship. He was hired to keep the
school in Oxford for 60 pounds a year, and he taught school 22 years in succession...
Stephen married May 28, 1765, Dorothy, daughter of Elijah
and Dorothy (Learned) Moore. Dorothy Moore Barton was called the beautiful
Dorothy Moore. The Moore's were one of the leading families of Oxford. The
History of Oxford tells us that the descendants of Elijah and his wife, Dorothy
(Learned) Moore, were numerous and many were of more than ordinary ability.
The famous mid-wife, Mrs. Martha (Moore) Ballard, who practiced her profession
at "The Fort", now Augusta, Maine, was a sister of Dorothy's. Mrs. Ballard
was a remarkable woman.
She kept a diary for more than twenty-five years, recording
the births of babies in the families where she was called and important events
in her own family. The diary is now at the State House, wher one may see it.
It was presented to the State of Maine by her great granddaughter, Doctor
Mary Hobart, of Boston.
Stephen studied medicine with Doctor Green of Lancaster,
one of the distinguished Greene family of Worcester. He was called a good
physician, charitable inclined, and it is said, lost much by not presenting
bills to patients. He was patriotic, a good citizen, and one of the leading
organizers of the "Social Library" of Oxford... Stephen was a trader at
the center in 1769. At one time was landlord at the old tavern. He removed
about 1776 to Vassalboro, Maine. About 1790 he returned to Oxford, Mass.
for a few years, and in March 1794 the town granted him leave to build a
shop to be known as a mechanical shop during the town's pleasure, on the
North side of the Sutton Road.
In 1803 with two of his sons, Elijah and Gideon, he returned
to Maine. He lived only for about two more years. he died October 21, 1804
and was at his request buried near where he and his sons camped the first
night in the wilderness near the meadow on the Barton farm. A granite stone
now marks the spot. In looking through Mrs. Ballard's diary a few days ago
I found the following:
"October 22, 1804 - Brother Barton departed this life
today. October 22. Samuel Pierce called to inform me of the death of Brother
Barton. May God be with his bereaved wife, children and other connections
and may we all be reconciled."
The entry is of special interest as Samuel Pierce was
later to become connected with the Barton family by marriage. Samuel's daughter,
Sarah, marrying the Doctor's son, Gideon (Deacon Gideon). This Samuel was
drowned in Three Mile Pond.
Tradition tells us that Stephen was tubercular. I wonder
if he was afflicted before leaving Oxford, Mass., and came to the pine woods
of Windsor, Maine, for his health, or if he got severe cold the first night
sleeping on the cold ground. It was very late in the fall, about Thanksgiving.
They came as far as Gardiner in a sailing vessel and walked out across the
country to what is now Windsor.
His wife and children were with him when he came the
first time. Six of his children were born in Maine. I find the following
entry in his old account book that will be of interest to us;
"Isaac Putnam, To bringing my wife and children from
Oxford to Salem, Mass. The price of the whole load was 2 lbs. 13 shillings."
From Salem, Massachusetts, they must have come in a sailing
vessel and may have been several days on the way to Kennebec, Maine. His wife
did not come with him on his last trip to Maine, but I find the following
entry in her sister Martha Ballard's diary:
"August 6, 1808 - Sister Barton came here. Mr. Porter
came with her." And the following day - August 7, "Sister Barton took tea
here. My sister sleeps here."
No doubt she went to Windsor, Maine to visit her sons,
Elijah and Gideon, and the grave of her husband...."
"Stephen Barton, Physician, sold to Richard Warren, of
Vassalboro, Consideration of 18 shillings, silver money, a tract of land in
Vassalboro
on the East side of the Kennebec River, being lot No.
27 on the fifth division beginning about four miles from sd. River at a road
and is bounded Westerly by sd. Road, Northerly on lot No. 26, Easterly on
Vassalboro, east line, Southerly on lot No. 28."
June 20, 1781; "John Bragg of Vassalboro to Dr. Stephen
Barton, Westerly part of lot No. 28 in the fifth division."
May 24, 1786; "Nurse Ballard says Mr. Ballard went to
Brother Moore in Vassalboro. Heard that Dr. Barton has removed to Winslow."
Selectman 1776, Town Clerk 1777 of Vassalboro.
At Oxford - "Dorothy Ballard, daughter of Capt. Elijah
Moore, and widow of Dr. Stephen Barton, died November 11, 1836, aged 92
years."
Her parents and cousins are buried in the same cemetery.

Barton, Clara, full name Clarissa Harlowe Barton (1821-1912), American humanitarian
and founder of the American Red Cross (see Red Cross). Barton was born in
Oxford, Massachusetts, December 25, 1821, and educated at home, chiefly by
her two brothers and two sisters. She was a teacher at first and the founder
of various free schools in New Jersey. In 1854 she became a clerk in the Patent
Office, Washington, D.C., but resigned at the start of the American Civil
War to work as a volunteer, distributing supplies to wounded soldiers. After
the war she supervised a systematic search for missing soldiers. Between 1869
and 1873 Barton lived in Europe, where she helped establish hospitals during
the Franco-Prussian War and was honored with the Iron Cross of Germany. Through
Barton's efforts the American Red Cross Society was formed in 1881; she served
as the first president of the organization until 1904. In 1884 she represented
the United States at the Red Cross Conference and at the International Peace
Convention in Geneva. She was responsible for the introduction at this convention
of the "American amendment," which established that the Red Cross was to
serve victims of peacetime disasters as well as victims of war. She superintended
relief work in the yellow-fever pestilence in Florida (1887), in the Johnstown,
Pennsylvania, flood (1889), in the Russian famine (1891), among the Armenians
(1896), in the Spanish-American War (1898), and in the South African War
(1899-1902). The last work that she personally directed was the relief of
victims of the flood at Galveston, Texas, in 1900. She died in Glen Echo,
Maryland, on April 12, 1912. She wrote several books on the Red Cross and
Story of My Childhood (1907). Decorated with the German Iron Cross for her
efforts in treating injured soldiers during the Franco-Prussian War, Clarissa
Harlowe Barton went on to help establish the American Red Cross. She remained
president until 1904. Through her efforts the American Amendment was added
to the Red Cross charter, which allowed the Red Cross to serve victims of
natural disasters as well as those caught up in the horrors of war. "Clara
