From "Early Families of Southern Maryland, Vol. 5," by Elisa Greenup Jourdan
(Westminster, MD: Family Line Publications, 1996), p. 167: "William Barton left
Warwickshire, England, and settled in Virginia before finally settling in
Maryland where he is found in St. Clement's Manor in 1654 (AM XLI.9). In 1658
William Barton purchased 300 acres on St. Clement's Bay from Thomas Gerard (AM
XLI.118). Also included in this purchase were one dwelling house, one orchard,
and two tobacco houses 'Lying or being the Mannoe of St. Clemts in the bounty of
St. Maries'; he named this plantation Barton Hall; a typical river type house of
the 17th and 18th centuries still stands on this land bordering St. Clement's
Bay; it is unknown what portion of it, if any, was the house of the first
William Barton (CSSCB). In 1661 William Barton claimed land for his immigration
and transporting his wife, son & daughter [from Virginia] (ESM 4.556).
Christopher Rousby of Calvert Co. transported a William Barton in 1668 (SOM
24.22 & ESM 13/17).). The latter two are probably the same person and possibly
the same person as the s/o William who is mentioned in the 1661 document with
his father. There are two more entries for William Varton, one transported in
1671 and 1674 (ESM 16.414 & 18.285). Early records for the Barton family are
found in both Charles and Calvert Cos. and after 1696 in Prince George's Co."
