Biography

The Barton Family

“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. Mymother’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 fellowship 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 dissatisfied 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 amyet 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.”
