George Barton of Broughton

George Barton – At least three George Bartons joined the Baptist church at Broughton during the eighteenth century:  the elder Barton (d. 1764) joined on 7 March 1722; the second Barton joined on 24 April 1748; and the third George Barton joined on 7 February 1779. He was removed as a member of the church in March 1790, but the cause was not specified. A Deborah Woodford, probably the mother of a Miss Woodford who married one of the Mr. Bartons, joined the Baptist church on 7 May 1758. A Sarah Barton, possibly the daughter of George Barton, Jr., joined the Baptist church at Broughton on 15 July 1804; she was dismissed in 1807. There is no record of Miss Woodford ever becoming a member. See Broughton Baptist Church Book, Angus Library, Oxford.
