Notes: Bartons wife was an Evans occording to their child Emma Eicems obit. BARTONS WIFE IS STILL ALIVE IN THE 1900 LEE CENSUS. Emily Evans was not the daughter of Henry Evans and Marticia Crawford, the ages don't match. She might have been Henry's daughter from another marriage. Also Barton and Emilys daughter Mary (Polly)is not the one that married John Evans. THE INFO ABOUT THIS MARRIAGE CAME FROM THE BOOK THE CRAWFORD BROTHERS. It is said that the son (John) from this marriage, married Margaret Crawford in 1846, but Mary (Polly) was b. 1847.  The son John was in the Mexican-American War and the Civil War, but Mary is still in the household of her father Barton in 1860.
