Information on the Barton family?
I recently asked a question on yahoo answers and had a bunch of new information passed to me. I am trying to find a little bit more now.
It all starts with
Mary G. Barton
Born: Oct 1892 in St Louis, Missouri
Died: Around 1921 (If anyone could find a death record that would be fantastic. Her married last name would be Becker in Massachusetts)
Her Parents were,
Thomas E Barton
Born Mar 1867 in New York
Margaret A Devine
Born: Jan 1867 in Canada Eng
I do not know much about the Bartons or the Devine’s. I am trying to find any information. I have a marriage notice of Mary and her husband and that is how i found the names. Any information otherwise would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Mary had siblings. Here is her family, 1900 – 1920.

So we know that Thomas E. Barton was an iron molder, and that he was in St. Louis in 1890-92, when his first two kids are born. Since there’s no 1890 census to check, we can look for him in the St. Louis city directories. And here he is in 1887, living with some other Barton dudes:
1887 St. Louis City Directory
John R. Barton, molder, r. 1124 N. 19th
Thomas E. Barton, molder, r, 1124 N. 19th
Michael J. Barton, molder, r. 1124 N. 19th
These guys first show up in the St. Louis directories in 1884, and then Thomas is gone to Mass by 1893:

Knowing the names of some other possible family members should help identify them on the 1880 census hopefully. This may be them, in Norwich, CT:

Joseph Barton – son – 3 – NY-IRE-NY
Nellie Barton – dau – 6 – NY-IRE-NY

Here they are in 1870 in Albany, New York:

Back to St. Louis again. Michael and at least some of his kids stay in St. Louis after Thomas goes to Mass.

"Nothing found matching your search criteria" shown when I put in THOMAS E. BARTON as spouse.
On ancestry.com, it shows both WW1 & WW2 draft cards for Edgar W Becker and mentions that HELEN M. BECKER would always know his address. A sister to Marion, perhaps??
