Isaac's stone noted death on Sept 26, 1868 at age 70 yrs 5 mo 23 days (BUT the 0 in 70 was difficult to read and may have been another number).

Notes for John Barton:

I also looked for and found John as a teacher in Fairview Twp York Co in the 1827-28 Tax assessment. At the same time was Joseph a farmer who died 1830-34 and James a laborer, Isaac a tanner and Joseph, Jr. a laborer. Joseph, Sr. first shows up in the 1820-21 tax assessment for Fairview. I wonder where he was in 1820 and 1810 censuses. 1810 Lancaster, Salisbury Twp page 435 is 1 Joseph in PA. In the 1850 Cumberland Co. PA census is Isaac 49 with James 54 and Mary 51. Mary may be their sister. For in 1830 the census for Joseph (Sr.) is 3M20-30, 1 M70-80, 1F 20-30 and 1F60-70.

Joseph, Jr. 1st shows up in 1820-21 assessment also as single (one had to be 21 to show up as single in the taxes), James and Isaac show up in 1822-23. I could not hook John to Joseph directly but it almost has to be so.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS:

Valentine's will lists his mother and father as Jospeh and Feby, his wife Letty and siblings Isaac, James, Joseph, John and Polly.

On the letter of attorney for James Barton, the first Mary Barton is James' sister (and daughter of Joseph and Phebe), then the remaining names would be the children of John Barton (who died in 1850), i.e. Joseph, David, Caroline, William, John and Mary Ellen. This means that the JAMES who was subject of the letters was brother to Isaac, Mary and John. The other child of Joseph and Phebe was Valentine but he died much earlier in 1821.

John Umberger was Catherine Umberger BARTON's brother and thus it is understandable that he might be the administrator to Isaac Barton if Isaac was indeed related to John Barton as would be indicated by his burial plot being close to the rest of the family.

Cheers,

Bob

Notes for Catharine Umberger:

Hi Doug,

Thank you very much for finding and contacting me. I gather you found my information on WorldConnect. I’m descended from John Stickel (1791-1870) and his first wife Mary (Bentzley) Stickel (1791-1862). They were settlers in Macon County, Illinois in the late 1830s. A couple of years after Mary’s death, John married the widow Catherine (Umberger) Barton (1806-1895). I’m only beginning to learn about her family and look forward to finding out what you know. They were married a little over 5 years when he died.

My sources for the Barton/Umberger family are:

Macon County, Illinois Estate Papers, Macon County Clerk, Catherine Stickel, Box 151, Case 2112.

_Decatur Daily Republican_, 30 Mar 1895, pg. 3, col. 5, Catharine Stickel obituary.

Greenwood Cemetery Gravestone Inscriptions, Block 5, John Stickle and Catherine Barton Stickel.

1870 U.S. Federal census of Macon County, Illinois, sheet 3, pg. 321 (Decatur township, Decatur Post Office), dwelling 15, family 15, John Stickle household.

I should also mention a letter written by Isaiah Stickel (John’s son) to his nephew (John’s grandson)

29 Jan 1865 in which he says:

"Father stated that he thought of changing his mode of life and of setting up housekeeping on his own account. I think it a good plan providing he gets the right kind of a companion and if he gets one to suit himself nobody need complain. The lady is a Mrs Barton living in Penn. She is a dutch lady - has considerable property and and Father says she is religious and a good House Keeper."

The obituary is as follows:

GONE HOME

Death of a Venerable Lady, Mrs. Stickel, at 150 North Street

The death of Mrs. Catharine Stickel, occurred at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon at 150 West North Street, the home of her daughter, Mrs. F. A. Leforgee. She had been ill a week, and was nearly 89 years of age. She leaves two daughters, Mrs. Caroline Floyd, of Mt. Zion, and Mrs. F. A. Leforgee, of Decatur, also three sisters in Pennsylvania and a brother, Captain Umberger, in Kansas.

Catherine Umberger was born in York County, Pa., Sept. 4, 1806. Her father was a captain in the war of 1812. She was the fourth of twelve children, nine girls and three boys, all of who lived to be honored and respected. Both of her parents lived to be over 80 years of age. At the age of 22 years she was married to John Barton, a pioneer schoolteacher. Eight children were born to them, six of whom grew to manhood and womanhood. Two died in infancy and four died after having attained their majorities, Mrs. Floyd and Mrs. Leforgee being the only two children left. On March 7, 1865, she was married to John Stickel, who died five years later. She was a member of the Church of God for sixty-five years, and for thirty years she had lived in Decatur. For a number of years she has made her home with her daughter in Decatur.

I can send you copies of her estate papers that detail her heirs.

That’s pretty much all I know. I’d very much like to know more.

Best wishes,

Kimball G. 'Kim' Everingham

Notes for Joseph Barton II:

"Joseph Barton and his wife, settled in the State of Kansas, at or near Clinton, Douglas County, as shown by his Commission as Lieutenant issued by Thomas Carney, the then Governor of Kansas. After their removal to the State of Kansas, Lincoln C. Barton, the oldest child of said Joseph and Adeline E. Barton, - was born December 30, 1861; also a sister, Exmenia Barton, known as Minnie Barton, was afterward intermarried with one John Ward,-was born in the State of Kansas. About the year 1863, Joseph Barton and family, removed to Montgomery County, Missouri, as the Records in the Recorder's Office of said county, show, that on September 13, 1863, in SUPPLIED RECORD "A" at Page 473, he purchased from one Abraham Baldwin, 260 acres of real estate situate in Section 2, Township 46, Range 6, West, of said County. Lincoln C. Barton, born December 30, 1861, and now past the age of 74 years.-and coming to Missouri with his parents about the year 1863, shows conclusively that he is past the age of Seventy (70) years. The Records in the Recorder's Office of Montgomery County, Mo., at Danville, then the County seat of said county, having been destroyed by fire in the year 1901, -Marriage License Record No. 2, in which the Marriage License of Lincoln C. Barton and Fannie Ellis was recorded,-was likewise destroyed. Lincoln C. Barton and Fannie Barton, nee Ellis was, to my personal knowledge married in the year 1882."13

Joseph participated in the California Gold Rush, 1852-1854. See his letters home during the period. They indicate a sister Caroline.

Doug Just found your query concerning Adaline Rife. Perhaps the following will help. Much of these data came to me over 10 years ago from Rev. O.R.Reiff (dec.) and from Robert Coraor. According to these researchers Adaline was born Oct. 10 1836 and died July 28,1918. She was married twice, first to Joseph Barton b.Oct. 20, 1832, d. Aug. 9, 1871; and then to Benjamin S. Baker, b. Aug. , 1851, d. Dec. 6, 1928. Her children with Barton were Lincoln, Minnie B., and Everett; with Baker were Frank and Alvin B. Adaline/Adeline's father was indeed Christian Rife, who married Mariah Eby. I can take the Rife/Reiff line back quite a bit further, if you're interested.

Regards Harry Reiff

Adaline Rife was b. in York Co. PA Oct. 10, 1836. Her first husband Joseph Barton, also b. in York Co. was b. Oct. 20 1832. He died Aug. 9, 1871, and Adaline next married Benjamin S. Baker. By her first marriage, she had children Lincoln b. 1861, m. Fannie Ellis; Exmenia (!) (Used the name Minnie) m. John Ward, and Everett b. 1868 d. 1955 m. Georgia E. Huddleston. Her second marriage, to Baker, produced Frank O. and Alvin b., d. 1956. She was an aunt of the celebrated jockeys, Lester and Johnny Reiff. Lester won the English derby for W. C. Whitney, and Johnny won two English derbies.

Adaline was one of 8 children of Christian Rife, b. 1807 d. 1886, and his wife Mariah Eby, b. 1808, d. 1883.

Christian was one of 9 children of Abraham Reiff, b. 1769, d. 1818, and his wife Ann (Nancy) Hershey, b. ?, d. 1855.

Abraham was one of 6 children of Abraham Reiff (Sr.) b. 1735, d. 1774 and his wife Barbara Lehman b. 1746, d. 1818.

Finally, Abraham (Sr.) was one of 5 children of the immigrant Hans Reiff,b. ca. 1690, d. 1755. Hans Reiff came to America with his brothers Abraham Reiff and (John) Jacob Reiff, all Mennonites. An excellent article on the European origins of the three brothers can be found in the quarterly journal "Mennonite Family History", vol. XI No. 1, Jan. 1992. The title of the article is 'Swiss Reiff and Hiestand Families' the journal is published byMennonite Family History, 220 Mill Road Morgantown PA 19543-9701. I understand copies can be had for 4 or 5 dollars. Again, I would appreciate hearing your line of descent from Adaline-just the vital statistics-spouse and children names and dates-for my records.

Repeating my last e-mail, Barton is not necessarily a German (i.e., Pennsylvania Dutch) name. Perhaps Barton's female ancestors were German. York Co. PA had English and Scotch settlers as well as German ones.

Regards Harry Reiff

A genealogy has been published for the first three or four generations of the three immigrant Mennonite Reiff brothers who arrived in PA around 1717-Abraham, Hans, and (John) Jacob. It is in the quarterly "Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage" vol 22, No2, April, 1999 p 11, published by the Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society, 2215 Millstream Rd., Lancaster, PA 17602. Title: "Descendants of the Three Mennonite Reiff Brothers: immigrants from Europe to Pennsylvania" by Daniel Lehman.
