Notes:

On 15 October 1650 at a General Court held at Georgianna Edward Barton sued Phillip Gorrell in an action for a seven pound debt. The action was withdrawn. 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, the same year in which he took the oath of fidelity at Exeter, NH to the Massachussetts Bay government. 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. The Walfords earlier had sued Nicholas and Elizabeth Roe for slander in calling Jane a witch and they won in court. 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.
In July of 1661 Edward presented at Court in a section referring to the Isles of Shoals for swearing commonly by Jesus Christ. The witnesses were William Scadlocke and Morgan Howell. Barton was fined 10 shillings and 5 shillings for officers fees.
On 18 July 1665 in court at Wells, Edward sued Stephen Batson for "not performing his bond according to his award to the value of 40 pounds." The court found for Edward and Batson forfitted the bond. He was one of the appraisers of the estate of Morgan Howell at Cape Porpoise in June of 1666 and swore to its accuracy 1 April 1667. On 18 July 1665 in court at Wells, Edward sued Stephen Batson for "not performing his bond according to his award to the value of 40 pounds." The court found for Edward and Batson forfitted the bond. He was one of the appraisers of the estate of Morgan Howell at Cape Porpoise in June of 1666 and swore to its accuracy 1 April 1667.
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 bounded 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 in an oath sworn by the widow 16 June 1671. The inventory was done by Griffin Montegue and John Davies
In 1671 Elizabeth the widow of Edward, along with Griffin Montegue, gave bonds for £200 as security for Edward's estate which was valued at £81 with the house, lands and marsh valued at £40. Edward had his will probated 4 Jul 1671 in York, York, ME. 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. On January 13th 1673 widow Barton was among the commoners at Marblehead who met and appointed men to protect the town commons from cattle over grazing. -http://home.comcast.net/~pwbarton1/barton/i0000097.htm#i97

Edward married Elizabeth about 1639 in Marblehead, Essex, Massachusetts. Elizabeth was born in 1615; died after 1673 in Cape Porpoise, York, Maine. [Group Sheet]
