BARTON

Re: Genealogical Queries.

Newspaper indexes in the public li- brary in the city of Erie, Pa. men- tion the following Bartons (with the exception of Thomas Barton, whose dates I secured from a cemetery in ' the suburbs of that city) which 1 have grouped into two families, one of which represents the branch I am attempting to trace. From the birth dates, it would appear possible that the older Bartons of both families might be brothers and sisters."

County historles and vital records have been checned in vain for help in discovering the forebears of these Bartons. Are any Enterprise and News genealogy fans able to help me ?

They were George William born June 5, 1824 and Martha A. born March 30, 1825. Another son Roswell Donald but don't know where he was born.

She married a Wilcox. Haven't marriage date. or his first name but in an old letter' she tells of her third marriage to Austin Whipple and says Mr. Wilcox died in Baltimore in 1843 (was he one of the Wilcox family who settled in Cortland Co. ? ) She says she married Austin Whip- ple August 30, 1845 and came to Ulysus, Potter Co., a. taking the youngest Wilcox child Emily Jane with her and she says Emily was born July 21, 1836. She left son John with a family by the name of Bee- be and Lyman wit hthe Fairchilds. A letter dated March 25, 1855 says Emily Jane had married a mon by the name of Austin Backer Booles, was living in Sico, Alleghany Co., N. Y. John was living near Elmira and Wyman was learning the shoemak- er's trade in New Jersey.

In the same letter she asks about Wm. E. Tracy, her brother-in-law in Norwich, Conn. and her first hus- band's brother, William S. Cooley, al- so of Norwich, Conn. I would like to find out what Lucy's maiden name was and where she came from and when she married the first husband Erastus Cooley. I know he came from either Norwich, Conn. or some where in Massachusetts.

1. Cooley children: Roswell Donald, George Willlam, Martha A.

Wilcox children: John, Wyman, Emily Jane.

Martha A. Cooley, daughter of Lucy married for her second hus- band Gilbert. Whipple, her step broth- er. He died soon after the civil war. Her first husband was Moses Web- ster Emery of Mass. She had 3 Emery children, William, Roswell and Cynthia.

The Whipple children were Ed- ward Newton Whipple and Arthur Adelbert Whipple.

If any one knows about any of these people or their descendants would be glad to have the data for genealogical purposes.
