Lineage II

Haplogroup R1a

Kent England, New York and Canadian Families

Twenty-two men with matching DNA test results have participated from thirteen different Barton families. In addition, male Wilcox, Crowell and Wallace participants also have ySTR DNA matching this Barton line! This is a large (over 4,000 people in our database) and complex family and is one of our American families where an Immigrant Ancestor is known!

Each of the 13 famiies above share matching ySTR DNA but don't connect! Each has further genealogical research to do to extend their pedigrees back in time. Please keep the Line Leader and the webmaster advised!

Many publications available at genealogical libraries include significant errors about the Roger Barton line. As senior researcher Jim Barton puts it "The problem with the Roger Barton line is not lack of information. The problem is an abundance of misinformation." The best and most complete publication to date is George E. McCracken's article titled "Roger Barton of Westchester County, New York, and Some of His Earlier Descendants," published in serial form in "The New England Historical and Genealogical Register," Vols. 106 and 107, 1952 and 1953. Even it, however, contains some errors in details. It may be viewed on-line at www.rogerbarton.org . Compiler's recommendation: do your own original research... it's part of the fun of our hobby!

More About Lineage II

19 Oct 2017 - Newly appointed Line Leader Joe Barton (see Email link below) is enthusiastically sharing and collaborating about his (and yours) Lineage II ancestors! A link to his Facebook Group is here

A substantial number of citizens of the British Colonies during the American Revolutionary War wished to remain loyal to the Crown. Large numbers of them fled to Canada. They were known as Loyalists. An organization of their descendants became known as United Empire Loyalists (UEL). The Bartons who moved to New Brunswick have a robust open Facebook Group.
