I got about halfway through the podcast & thought to myself, “Hey, I am descended from a lot of the earliest families to settle in Rhode Island & I’m pretty sure some of them were named Barton.” I didn’t have William Barton in my family tree already but it only took me about 10 minutes to figure out that he is my 2nd cousin 7x removed.
