      George W. Barton, the father of our subject, was also born in the town of Stanford, Dutchess county. May 14, 1795, and was a farmer by occupation. He became quite wealthy, owning two farms, each of 250 acres, in Columbia county, one in the town of Ancram and the other on Pugsley's Hill, the old homestead. He was a man of great natural ability, and was essentially self-made. He was identified with the Democratic party in politics, and attended the Presbyterian Church. He died September 17, 1872, and his wife died August 26, 1879. He had married Elizabeth Hoffman, daughter of Henry Hoffman, who lived near Bethel, N. Y. , and to them were born nine children: Mariette, born March 1, 1824, married Warden Hiserodt, of New York City, and died September 12, 1873; William H., born August 25, 1825, married Cornelia Decker, and died January 24, 1879; George, born May 19, 1S27, married, first, Sarah Collins, and, second, Mary French, and resides in the town of Northeast, Dutchess county; Catherine, born December 15, 1829, wife of William McArthur, of Wisconsin; Rachel, born December 16, 183 1, married James Collins, of the town of Northeast; Leonard, born December 14, 1834, married Henrietta Pulver, and is now living in the same town; Anthony H., born July 4, 1836, married, first, Emily Sackett, and, second, Isaphene Wilkinson, and resides in Pine Plains town; Artemas S., subject of this review; and Frederick, born May 24, 1841, married, first, Libbie Hoysrodt, and, second, Zada Tripp, and resides at the old homestead in the town of Ancram, Columbia county, which he owns, and also a half interest in the old Dr. Barton homestead in the town of Stanford. The children were lovers of music, especially our subject, who organized a string band, called "Barton's Band," composed of his brother, uncle and others, and playing for nearly all the public and private parties in northern Dutchess and southern Columbia counties, from 1865 to 1880, the music not so artistic, but the prompting excellent.

      ANTHONY H. BARTON is the owner of a fine farm of 200 acres, pleasantly located in the town of Pine Plains, Dutchess county, which he has been operating successfully since 1864. He has been the architect of his own fortune, and has never been afraid of putting his shoulder to the wheel whenever necessary. His land has been brought to a high state of cultivation, largely by the labor of his own hands, and he is the possessor of good farm buildings, to which each year he adds something to enhance the beauty and value of his property. He takes great delight in landscape gardening, and his place is, therefore, one of the most beautiful to be found in the town of Pine Plains.

      Mr. Barton was born in Columbia county, N. Y., July 4, 1836, and is a son of George W. Barton. His educational privileges were quite good, and on leaving school at the age of seventeen years he aided his father in the operation of the home farm until his mar-

      riage. In 1858 he wedded Emily M. Sackett, daughter of Allen Sackett, of the town of Stanford, and to them were born five children: Sarah E., born March 18, 1859, married September 13, 1877, to Albert Keller, of Stanford, N. Y. (they have one son, Herbert); one that died in infancy; Frank (proprietor of the"Stissing House" at Pine Plains), born March 23, 1864, married December 4, 1883, to Myra Rosa, of Ulster county (no children); Cora R., born July 18, 1862, married April 25, 1889, to Willis Wright, of Syracuse (they have two children, Herbert and Howard); and Fred, who was born on the present farm of our subject November 13, 1865, married February 28, 1883, to Lizzie Moore, of the town of Milan (has one child, Roy), and is engaged in carpentering and painting in the village of Pine Plains. The mother of these children died in 1876, and Mr. Barton was afterward married to Isophime Wilkinson, daughter of Sidney T. Wilkinson, of Hammerton, New York.

      A year after his first marriage Mr. Barton rented the farm now owned by Mrs. Eban Husted, but at the end of a year he removed to the Dr. Barton farm, in the town of Stanford, owned by his father, and besides its cultivation he also gave considerable attention to stock dealing. He next lived upon the farm owned by his father at Boston Corners, from which he removed to the Joshua Culver place, near Carman's Mills. After residing there for about a year, Mr. Barton purchased for $15,000 the farm of 200 acres which he now occupies. About ten years after locating upon his present farm he began speculating in stock, grain, hay, straw and other farm produce, in which he was quite successful. For a quarter of a century he was also engaged in auctioneering, and does most of the business along that line throughout his section of the county. In his first venture in farming at Boston Corners, Columbia county, he had no capital; but buying cows on credit and selling them again, secured his first start in life. In his early experience with his father, who was exceedingly economical, he learned the value of a dollar, which came to be worth thousands to him later, and he has always been an able financier.

      Mr. Barton has always taken an active part in local politics, and is a strong supporter of the Democratic party, has served as highway commissioner twelve years, assessor two years, and overseer of the poor for about one year. Public-spirited and enterprising, he has taken a foremost part in the upbuilding and advancement of his locality. Socially, he is prominently identified with Stissing Lodge No. 615, F. & A. M., and in religious belief is a Presbyterian, while Mrs. Barton is a Methodist.

      George W. Barton, father of our subject, born in the town of Stanford, Dutchess county. May 14, 1795, died September 17, 1872. He was a very peculiar man; was never known to have but one suit of clothes at a time, which he wore every day of the week, including Sundays He did his own hair-cutting (with a jack-knife) and shaving (without any mirror), and yet hardly a day passed but what he had from three to five dollars in his pocket. His wife, Elizabeth (Hoffman), born May 28, 1800, died August 26, 1879. They had nine children, to wit: Mariette, born March 1, 1824, married Warden Hoysradt, and died September 12, 1873 (no surviving children); William H., born August 25, 1825, married Cornelia Decker, and died January 24, 1879 (no children); George W., Jr., born May 19, 1827, married (first) Julia Collins (two children), and wedded (second) Mary French (no children); Catherine, born December 15, 1829, married William McArthur (no surviving children); Rachel, born December 16, 1831, married James Collins (one child); Leonard, born December 14, 1834, married Henrietta Pulver (three children); Anthony H., the subject proper of this sketch; Artemus S., born October 30, 1838, married (first) Mariette Rockafeller (no children), and wedded (second) Jane Tripp (two children); and Fred, born May 24, 1841, married (first) Elizabeth Hoysradt (six children), and wedded (second) Zadie Tripp (no children).
