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:

    1884 St. Louis City Directory
    Michael J. Barton, molder, bds. 1217 Chambers

    1885 St. Louis City Directory
    Thomas Barton, molder, bds. 107 Dickson

    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

    1888 St. Louis City Directory
    Thomas E. Barton, molder, r, 1124 N. 19th
    Michael J. Barton, molder, r. 1124 N. 19th

    1889 St. Louis City Directory
    Thomas E. Barton, molder, r, 1324 N. 19th

    1891 St. Louis City Directory
    Thomas E. Barton, molder, r. 1446 Collins
    Michael J. Barton, molder, r. 1124 N. 19th

    1892 St. Louis City Directory
    Thomas E. Barton, molder, r. 1446 Collins
    John Barton, molder, r. 1124 N. 19th
    Michael J. Barton, molder, r. 1124 N. 19th

    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:

    1880 Census – New London, Norwich, Connecticut
    Michael Barton – 38 – Stove Moulder – IRE-IRE-IRE
    Mary Barton – mother – 64 – IRE-IRE-IRE
    Thomas Barton – son – 13 – works in Pistol Shop – NY-IRE-NY
    John Barton – son – 11 – NY-IRE-NY
    Daniel Barton – son – 9 – NY-IRE-NY
    Edward Barton – son – 4 – NY-IRE-NY
    Joseph Barton – son – 3 – NY-IRE-NY
    Nellie Barton – dau – 6 – NY-IRE-NY
    Michael Barton – son – 1 month – born in May – CT-IRE-NY

    Here they are in 1870 in Albany, New York:

    1870 Census – Albany, Albany County, New York
    Michael Barton – 28 – Moulder – IRE
    Mary A. Barton – 23 – Keeps House – CAN
    Thomas Barton – 3 – NY
    John Barton – 1 – NY

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

    1896 St. Louis City Directory
    Michael J. Barton, molder, r. 1303 Collins
    John J. Barton, molder, r. 1303 Collins

    1898 St. Louis City Directory
    Michael J. Barton, molder, r. 1325 N. 2nd
    John R. Barton, molder, r. 1325 N. 2nd

    Here’s Michael’s widow, son John (from his first wife Mary) and son Francis (from 2nd wife Elizabeth) in 1900:

    "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??
