The Barton Family
( Written by the Rev. Isaac Barton ):
"I was born
in Maryland near Fredericeston in 1746, August 16. My father was the son of a widow who came to maryland from one of the Eastern
states. She had five sons; Abraham,
Isaac, Joshua (my father), and Benjamin, and one daughter Elizabeth. My mother's name
was Jane Dubart, stepdaughter of William Beatis from Holland.
They had seven children: Jacob (who die young), David, Isaac,
Sarah, Elizabeth, Mary and Joshua. My father moved from Maryland to North Carolina sometime about 1753 or 1754 and settled
on Swariny Creek, a branch of the Yadkin River, and remained there until the death of my mother. He then moved to Virginia
and settled on Pig River in what is now called Franklin County. There I married Keziah Murphy, daughter of Rev. Murphy, Oct.
9, 1772. We had twelve children : Martha who married Charley Jarnigan, Jane who married her cousin Isaac Barton, Elizabeth
who married James Carmichael. David and Isaac, who died when young. William and Sarah (twins); William married Hannah Oliphant
and Sarah married William Reynolds. Mary married James Hodges and died in the 26th year of her age. Hannah married Robert
McFarland and died in the 25th year of her age.
I joined the Baptist Church, and soon after, they called me to preach
the Gospel. The which I undertook with fear and trembling under a sense of my unqualification in every sense of the word.
Often fearing that I obeyed the voice of men and not of God. But I was ordained to the ministry by Samuel Harris and William
Johnson, and took care of Blackwater and Pig River Churches in Virginia and came to what is now called Tennessee State, and
not long after, the care of a church near Greenville, Tennessee. There we enjoyed a great degree of love and fellowshio until
the prospect of new countries made the greater part of them break up and move. I also moved to the head of bent Creek in the
folds of Rev. Fidance Lain's Church where I remained 31 years, during which time in generally we lived with mutual love and
friendship until a little before his death ( which I think was about 1800) when his mind by some means got dissatified with
my sentiment on the atonement (though we preached together for many years.)
About that time there was a new constituted
church taken off Brent Creek called Bethel, south of Holston, of which I took pastoral charge and am yet with them as such.
We have lived in general, in harmony and love, and gradually increased until our number enabled us to dismiss members for
three other churches. Viz: The head Richmond, Friendship, and Blackwater Branch, and our present number is somewhere between
70 and 100 members.
I am now (Feb 7, 1827) 80 years, six months,lacking 8 days old. My wife is 72 years, six months and
one day old. We have lived together 54 years, four months and 29 days."
Copy of the original Barton Family 7-25-43

"This sketch of Isaac Barton's life is a true copy (except some omitted that is recorded elsewhere)
of his writing, written in his 81st year."

of them by name and only 11 are found in the family Bible records. Similarly, he says that Sarah Vesey Barton had 5 sons,
