FAMILY HISTORY.
BARTER.
I SAMUEL BARTER, JR., was the elder of two brothers who took up the island in Townsend, about 1755-56, that still bears the family name. This name sometimes appears in old records as Barto and it is not unlikely that the family is of French descent. At the date of their coming there were at least four of this family: Samuel, Jr., Joseph, Jennet and Elizabeth. There may have been parents with them, but no known record of this exists. The wives of these brothers each bore the name of Lydia, and for this reason an error occurs in the early records by which the same family of children is recorded under Samuel and Lydia that correctly belongs to Joseph and Lydia, as presented below. Samuel probably had children born soon after 1750, while Joseph's eldest child was born in 1760. Jennet married John Matthews, 1764, and Elizabeth married Jonathan Daws, 1768. They settled nearly midway of the island, on the east side, about opposite to where John Matthews settled on Back River. They probably came from Dover, N. H. No known record exists of their ages or deaths. Their children, as far as known, follow, but the record is made up from several sources.

This family has been one of the most difficult to trace and correct. The work is imperfect from two reasons: the errors, plainly apparent in the early records, and the fact that for nearly three-quarters of a century after coming . here inscribed stones mark but few of their graves. There is evidently another family, the children of which would be of similar age to those of "(*2) John." Joseph, who was in the Rev. War, was born in 1756, and, though we find no further record of him, he probably married and settled on the island, perhaps brought home a wife at the close of the war, hence no record, and if so, and a family of children followed, many of those in the early publishments might be accounted for and corrected. He also might have been a son of Samuel.1
BEATH.
1 WALTER BEATH was born in the Province of Ulster, Ireland, in either Derry or Tyrone County, 1681. As a boy of eight he was in the city of Lon- donderry during that historic siege. His parents, a little more provident than some others, kept some meal which they mixed with cold water and used for food, but their extremity was such that the boy, Walter, watched the mouths of rat holes with a stick, day by day, in order to obtain them as a further food supply. The Beath ancestry was Scotch Presbyterian, the earliest members being Covenanters. The fever of emigration to America possessed Walter Beath, as it did so many thousands of others in the region he came from, and about 1718 he came to Mass. At that time he had a wife and one son, John, who was born in 1710. He settled in Lunenburg, as shown by proprietors' records, May 11, 1720. There they remained, another son, Jeremiah, being born in 1722, until June, 1731, when by reason of the inducement held out by Col. Dunbar they came to Pemaquid and later in the year settled at Townsend, where their relatives, the Fullertons, had pre- ceded them the year before; Jennet, the wife of William Fullerton, Senior, being a sister to Walter Beath. At Townsend they found the McCobbs, Moores, McFarlands, Fullertons and others had settled about the eastern harbor, on its westerly side, while others were about Lobster Cove. They settled on the western slope of Pisgah, the old house standing within the memories of many persons now living, its site being northerly from the resi- dence of Rufus Auld. There Walter Beath died, June 11, 1759, interment being in the yard at the head of the harbor. His wife's name is unknown as is the date of her death. Their children were:
