  • Notes 

    • In 1671 Elizabeth the widow of Edward, along with Griffin Montegue, gave bonds for £200 as security for Edwards estate which was valued at £81 with the house, lands and marsh valued at £40. Edward is the founder of our branch of the Barton family in America. His origins are unknown at this writing but he was established at Portsmouth, NH by 1646 when in August of that year Reynold Fernald was granted four acres of marsh at the great house at Little Harbor, on the Piscataqua and his grant mentions that he was bounded on the east by goodman Barton. He served in 1650 at Portsmouth as a trial juryman and in 1651 was brought to court for beating his wife. He received additional grants of land at Portsmouth in 1652 and 1653 and served as a grand juryman in 1656 and as a coroner's juryman in 1657 . At the town meeting of March 20, 1656 James Johnson, William Seavey and Anthony Bracket were directed to settle a land dispute between Edward and Nicholas Row. In June of 1656, at Portsmouth, Susannah Trimmings, wife of Oliver Trimmings of Little Harbor, complained that she had been bewitched by Jane Walford, wife of Thomas Walford, formerly the first settler of Charlestown and among the witnesses was Eliza Barton, Edward's wife who testified to Susannah's unusual physical appearance. At the town meetings between 1658 and 1666 he was among those who subscribed to the minister's salary in the amount of 15 shillings. Probably about 1666 Edward moved from Portsmouth to Cape Porpoise, ME and settled on a farm of about 300 acres which he bought from Anthony Littlefield. The move may have been occasioned by Edward being a loyalist to MA. The Maine farm was situated on Montague's Neck pounded by the sea, Cape Porpoise River and Montegue River. Indian troubles forced Edward, his wife and family to abandon the Cape Porpoise farm for safe haven at Salem where he purchased a house and land which later were exchanged for a house and lands at Marblehead. His estate with the house, lands and marsh at Cape Porpoise and other property was valued at 81 pounds.
