October 15, 1850, he married Nancy J. Chil- cote, whose ancestors came from England at an early day, and settled on a farm in Massachu- setts, where Boston is now located. From there they moved to Huntingdon county, Pennsylva- nia. Mr. and Mrs. Barton have been blessed with ten children : Joseph F., George, Elijah, Humphrey, William, John, Rebecca, Malinda, Albert and Adda.

Joseph F. Barton, the present superintendent of schools of Fulton county, was born in Derry, Westmoreland county, in 1852, and moved with his parents to Fulton county when two years old. He was educated in common and private schools, and at the Shippensburg State Normal School, graduating in 1874. He commenced teaching at the age of eighteen, and was en- gaged in that occupation until May, 1881, when he was elected to the office of school superin- tendent of Fulton county. Mr. Barton's success and popularity as a teacher placed him among the foremost instructors of the county. He was principal of the graded schools in McConnells- burg and Hopewell, and taught several terms of private normal school in Fulton county. . Since entering upon the duties of his office he has performed faithful and earnest work, and under his supervision the schools of the county have been efficient and progressive. Mr. Barton has taken part in local politics, making speeches in the county canvass. In 1879 he was chairman of the democratic county committee. Mr. Bar- ton is an able and thorough scholar and a graceful and easy speaker.

It is impossible for the present generation to realize the condition of things that existed at this period. Markets were few and far between, and even the scanty products they were enabled to produce brought insignificant prices com- pared with those of the present time, and, as a consequence, luxuries were unknown, while economy and industry were absolutely neces- sary. Church and school edifices, if they ex- isted at all, were often many miles distant.

Warfordsburg received its name from Joseph Warford, who owned the land on which it is built and laid out the village. He was among the earliest settlers of the township. His family consisted of seven daughters. None of the descendants are now living in the town- ship.

Adam Stigers came from New Jersey prior to the revolutionary war and settled on land now owned by Baltus Stigers, of Washington county, Maryland. He died in 1808. His children were Catharine (Fetter), Susan (Graham), Mary (Cur- tis), John and Balthus, all deceased. John Stigers died in 1846. Of his children, John and Baltus are living.

Baltus Stigers (the younger) was born and reared in Fulton county. From 1856 to 1874 he was engaged in farming and stock-raising in Iowa. He then returned to Fulton county and purchased of Amos Stigers his present property. Mr. Stigers runs a gristmill, sawmill and plaster- mill.

The Stigers gristmill was built by James and Isaac Hunter. About the time it was com- pleted, James Hunter, while walking on a plank between the new mill and the old one, accident- ally fell a distance of fifteen feet and received injuries from which he died a few days later. The mill is 30×40 feet, four stories high, and contains two runs of stones. The sawmill and .plastermill was built by the Hunters about 1840.

Obadiah Stillwell came from Frederick county, Maryland, and settled in the present county of Fulton before the revolutionary war. His farm was on the present line between Bethel and Thomson townships, and is now owned by Banner Graves.

John Breathed was an early settler on the property where Baltus Stigers' gristmill now is. It is believed that the first gristmill within the limits of the township was erected by him. This mill stood near the site of Stigers' mills.
