In 1686 William and others petition to have the public records continued at York; and in 1689 he was one of those appointed for the surveying and laying out of lots of land. The family was driven from Cape Porpoise by repeated indian troubles but in 1720 the town of Arundel, formerly Cape Porpoise, regranted to his sons, John and Ebenezer, all their fathers rights in lands and marshes on the Cape Porpoise River.

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 The action was withdrawn.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

Notes:

Thomas Barnard came from England and was one of the first settlers of Salisbury (incorporated 1640) and his town lot is shown on a map of East Salisbury in 1639; he was a signer of the Articles of Agreement and one of the first eighteen "commoners." On January 1, 1658 he and another "were chosed for ordering the prudential affairs of the Company" and in the later part of that month was one of two chosed "standing Lot Layers,: and served as such for many years. He was one of the ten original purchasers of Nantucket in 1659, and was probably represented there by his brother Robert, who was later admitted as his partner, and to whom he assigned half of his interest in that Island. In 1665 he served on a committee to build a "meeting-house," and on June 15, 1666, at a meeting to organize the town of New Salisbury, was chosen Moderator and one of the first five Prudential men. On July 9, 1667, a committee, of which Thomas Barnard, Sr. was one, was appointed to seat the people in the new church, and the following is an extract of the selection made:'Thomas Barnard, sen. is to set in the seat behind the tabell," "Good wiffe Barnard is to set in the second seate in the sowett side of the meeten house." It is said that he was killed by Indians in 1667, but on April 18,1670, 'Thomas Barnard,se." was chosen one of three Prudential men of the town. In 1677, in an Indian raid upon the town of Salisbury, several of the inhabitants were killed whose names are unknown, and it was probably in this year that Thomas Barnard lost his life. - unknown
