He was the ninth child of Richard Barton, a yeoman farmer of Starvall Farm, NorthNibley, and the third son of Richard’s second wife, Hannah. Two of William’s first cousins alsoshared the same Christian name – William Barton (1796-1851), a farmer of Cromhall, andWilliam Barton (1784-1835), a labourer of Milbury Heath, Thornbury.Richard Barton was forty-three-year-old when his son William was born and in 1790 he madehis will in which he refers to William Barton as one of his twelve children. William’s father wasburied on 17th May 1801 leaving an estate of less than 1,000. The will was proved on14th November in that year. William would have received 100 from his father’s estate in1805when he reached the age of twenty-one-years.On 12th November 1811 William Barton II married Mary Dommett at Churchstanton on theDevon/Somerset border. They were married by licence and the witnesses were RobertDommett and Mary Parry (?). Both bride and bridegroom signed their names. William’sbrother David, who was four years his junior, married in the same church in November 1809so it is possible that the two brothers moved together to the Blackdown Hills to pursue livesas farmers. Their cousin Susannah Barton married James Hurford at Churchstanton on10th April 1810.
William’s bride, Mary Dommett, was born in about 1788 (death certificate). She was probablythe daughter of William and Mary Dommett and if so was christened on 19th July 1789. Williamand Mary Dommett also had a son, Robert Dommett, who was born in July 1790 and laterbecame a yeoman of Willand, Churchstanton. Both William and his son, Robert Dommett,died in 1847.The eldest child of William and Mary Barton was William who was baptised on 25th June 1812at Churchstanton. A further child, Elizabeth, was baptised at Churchstanton on 21 st April 1813but she died and was buried on 4th June that year. Her father was described as a farmer ofBear Hill (sometimes Beer Hill), Churchstanton. Their second son, George, was baptised atChurchstanton on 10th December 1815 and by this time his father was described as a labourerof Bear Hill, Churchstanton.William and Mary moved back to Gloucestershire in 1816 or 1817. His move from farmer tolabourer may indicate that his farming venture was a failure otherwise the family’s move mayhave been connected with the involvement of William’s younger brother, Anthony, six yearshis junior, in the Berkeley Poaching Affray which occurred on 19 th January 1816. It is quiteprobable that their eldest son, young William, remained in Devon with his grandparents.William and Mary’s third son, John, was born in Gloucestershire and he was christened on14th January 1818 at St Mary’s Church, Berkeley. William Barton was described in the registeras a farmer of Woodford, Berkeley. John stated in the census returns from 1851 to 1871 thathe was born at Morton (a tithing of Thornbury).On 8th January 1819 William Barton’s youngest brother, Henry, ten years his junior, made hiswill in which we find the following reference - ‘Upon trust for my nephews namely John andGeorge sons of my brother William Barton ’Further baptisms of the children of William and Mary followed at Berkeley – Elizabeth in 1820and Eliza in 1821. Now the children’s father, was described as a butcher of Woodford.We find no more baptisms of the children of William and Mary Barton until 1829 when aHenry Barton was baptised at St Martin’s Church, North Nibley. The christening of theiryoungest son, Richard, on 9th December 1835, again at North Nibley, followed this event. Theentries in the baptismal register detail the father as William Barton, a butcher of North Nibley.Young Richard was buried a few days later on 16th December 1835 and his age was given asfour years. Two days after Richard’s burial there was a further one of a Louisa Barton whowas aged twelve years.Another reference to William Barton is from the year 1832 when he is described in a Land TaxReturn for North Nibley as a tenant of his half brother, Richard Barton.It is difficult to establish any further information about William and Mary during this periodexcept that their second son, George Barton, married Eliza Bennett at Falfield in November1837. George’s father was described on the marriage certificate as William Barton, a butcher.
This George Barton was himself a butcher and later a labourer, of Falfield where he lived withhis family until at least 1881. The various census returns record George’s place of birth asDevon (1851), Falfield (1861 and 1871) and Wickwar (1881).This reference to Wickwar may indicate that George’s parents, William and Mary Barton,spent time there between 1822 and 1829. Returning to the burial of twelve-year-old Louisa,above, there is nothing to directly connect her but there is a tantalising entry in the Wickwarbaptismal register, dated the 2nd January 1824, of a Louisa, the daughter of Charles Barton, abutcher of Wickwar, and his wife Mary. Should this be William Barton rather than CharlesBarton? Gwen Barton, a descendent of George Barton, was told by her own father of a familytradition that George’s father had owned a farm of 300 acres at Wickwar, known as ChurchFarm.William Barton and his wife Mary are recorded in the 1841 census return as living at St Georgeor Easton-in-Gordano in Somerset. At Duck Lane, not far from Sheep House Farm and Fishery,we find William, aged fifty-six-years. He was working as an agricultural labourer and he wasborn outside of the county of Somerset. With him was his wife Mary, aged fifty years and alsoborn outside of the county. Still at home was their youngest son, Henry, aged thirteen-yearsand again born out of the county. In the same house was Thomas Yeets or Yiels, an eighteenyear-old agricultural labourer.In the 1841 census return their eldest son, William, was described as a twenty-five-year-oldgrinder working for Martin Rake, a miller of Hinton St Mary, Devon.Meanwhile their third son, John Barton, was recorded in the same census as aged twentythree-years and working as a labourer for John Gabb, a nailsmith of Pitcourt, North Nibley.In April 1842 John married Sarah Perrett at North Nibley and his father’s details were recordedon the certificate as William Barton, a Labourer. The joyful celebrations in North Nibley musthave been marred by events that were unfolding in Bristol.The Bristol Times and Bath Advocate for Saturday 30th April 1842 includes the followingInquest report:Held before J. B. Grindon, Esq., Coroner.‘On Tuesday at the Rownham Tavern, on the body of Wm. Barton, aged 56. – Mary Barton,widow of the deceased, stated that she lived at St George’s Somersetshire; her husband lefthome on the 25th February, to visit his friends in Gloucestershire, and left Sodbury on the firstof March; he was seen to cross Rownham Ferry on the evening of the first of March, and hewalked part of the way up Rownham-hill, with Mr. Wade, of Leigh; being very much in liquor,he did not keep up with Mr. Wade, and was left behind. The next morning he again crossedthe ferry to search for a bundle which he said he had lost when he was drunk the night before.From that time the witness has seen nothing of him till she was shown his dead body,
yesterday. – James Tanner, waterman, proved picking up the body floating in the river byBroad Pill. Verdict – Found dead.’From ‘The Bristol Mirror and General Advertiser’, Saturday 30th April 1842:‘The body of a man found at Broad Pill was brought to Mr. Sims’s, Rownham Tavern, Hotwells,on Monday last, in a very decomposed state, having been in the water two months. An inquestwas held the following day, and Mr. Sims received the usual orders from the Coroner forburying the corpse, but the overseers of Clifton refused to comply with the order, and thecorpse still lies at Mr. Sims’s house. Mr. J.N. Sanders, the Magistrate, called on the Overseersand offered to pay a portion of the expenses, but they refused to comply unless the whole wasguaranteed.’The death certificate inaccurately states that William died on 26th April 1842 in the River Avon.He was a fifty-six-year-old farmer who was found dead in the Avon. The informant was J.R.G.Smith, Coroner of Bristol, and the death was registered on 29th June 1842 by John Princep,Registrar.William Barton, by coroner’s warrant, ‘found drowned’, was buried on 28th April 1842 in theL.G. (Lower Ground?) of the burial ground of St Andrew’s Clifton, aged fifty-six years, by JohnVincent.When the eldest son William married in June 1843 his father was described as a deceasedfarmer and when the youngest surviving son, Henry, married in May 1866 he described hisfather as a farmer.There is no further reference to William until his wife Mary died on 16th September 1870 atSlimbridge, aged eighty-two-years. Her daughter-in-law, Sarah Barton, was present at thedeath and the deceased was described on the death certificate as being the widow of WilliamBarton, butcher.MARY BARTON, Great III GrandmotherDaughter of William Dommett and Mary (nee Trood)Wife of William Barton IIMother of John Barton VIAlso Mother of William, Elizabeth, George, Elizabeth, Eliza, Henry and RichardMary Dommett, was born in about 1788 (death certificate). She was almost certainly thedaughter of William and Mary Dommett and if so was baptised on 19 th July 1789 atChurchstanton. Baptism Book 2, Entry 874: ‘Mary Dommett daughter of William and Mary’.
William and Mary Dommett also had a son, Robert Dommett, who was born in July 1790 andlater became a Yeoman of Willand, Churchstanton. Both William and his son, RobertDommett, died in 1847.Another Mary was baptised at Churchstanton on 30th August 1789. Baptism Book 2, Entry 876:Mary Bowerman, bastard daughter of Joan Domatt. A Mary Bowerman married RichardWyatt on 13th February 1810 (banns 21st January) at Upottery.On 12th November 1811 Mary Dommett, married William Barton, by now a twenty-six-yearold farmer at Churchstanton, Devon (now Somerset). The Rector, Buckland Bluet married thecouple by licence and both of them signed their names and were described as of the parish.One of the witnesses was a Robert Dommett but this may not be significant as RobertDommett and Joan Dommett witnessed other Churchstanton weddings at this time.The couple had at least seven children between about 1812 and 1831. By 1818 her husbandwas a farmer and later a butcher of Woodford, Berkeley, but there is no further reference toMary (except for her death) or her family in Gloucestershire after the burial at North Nibleyof her son, Richard, on 16th December 1835, aged four years.In the 1841 census return Mary was living with her husband and son, Henry, at Easton-inGordano. She was described as fifty-years-old. During the following year she is mentioned inrelation to her husband’s tragic death.In the 1851 census return we find a Mary Barton, a widow and servant, living at Blindmore,Buckland St Mary, Somerset. She was described as fifty-eight-years-old and born in ChurchStanton, Devon. Her employer was Samuel Pym, aged thirty-eight-years, who was farmingsixty-eight acres.In 1861 Mary was still at Buckland St Mary. She was described as a sixty-three-year-oldhousekeeper to Samuel Pym who farmed fifty acres at North Blindmore. His age was given asforty-four-years-old. By 1871 Samuel Pym had married Lucy. By then Mary had left the farmand returned to Gloucestershire. Samuel was described in the 1871 census return as a fiftyfour-year-old farmer of Little Blindmore with sixty acres, and his wife was shown as two yearsolder and born at Pitminster.Samuel Pym was born in about 1817, son of Robert Pym who was born at Buckland St Maryin 1777.From Pamela Hull, 9th May 2009:‘I can, however, enlarge a little on Samuel Pym of North Blindmoor Farm, where Mary wasliving as housekeeper after her husband’s death. Now known as Blindmoor Farm, it is rightnext to us so I have quite an interest in it!
Samuel Pym was baptised at Buckland St Mary on July 7th 1816. He was the son of Robert andBetty Pym of Westcombeland, an old name for this area of B.S.M. He had, I think, severalbrothers and sisters, mostly older than himself. A Robert Pym, from B.S.M. married BettyMiddleton at Pitminster on 27th June 1799 and some of the older children were born in theearly 1800s (providing I have the right couple as so many of the family share Christian names.)so this could be the right ones.The Pyms appear to have been ambitious business men purchasing large amounts of land inB.S.M. parish, some of which was let. We have a family named Pym here now at HigherBlindmoor Farm but there appears to be no connection with Samuel’s family.My notes say that Samuel married Mary (possibly Wyatt) in June 1869 but I have, as yet, noevidence of this or to where or when she died. There was a very large family of Wyatts inB.S.M. around this time, some of them were also at Churchstanton and there was doubtlesssome intermarriage.Samuel moved to Taunton at some stage and died at 3 Park Street on 23rd November 1895 andburied at B.S.M. on 29th November. He had no children and his property was inherited by hisbrothers’ descendants. Samuel Wyatt Pym inherited Shires Farm (just up the road from us).Robert Pym had Whitlands, or Wheatlands Farm, now included in Blindmoor Farm. Daniel Pymhad Court Farm at Churchstanton.This Samuel Pym died at Staple Fitzpaine in 1913 and left Shires Farm to his wife Elizabeth.The Board family bought it from the Pym family when Elizabeth died in 1932 and theirdescendant still lives there and his brother lives at (North) Blindmoor, (their fields adjoin) andwhich the family bought in 1957. The Pym family sold (North) Blindmoor early in the 1900s, Ithink. The last member of this Pym family, another Samuel, (maybe son to the Samuel whodied in 1913 – I haven’t checked this) died within the memory of some of our older inhabitants,having lived in a cottage about a mile from here’Mary Barton died, aged eighty-two-years, on 16th September 1870 at Slimbridge. The deathcertificate described her as the eighty-two-year-old Widow of William Barton, Butcher. Thecause of death was given as ‘Gangrena Senilis and this was certified. George Leonard,Registrar, registered the death on 19th September and the informant was (her daughter-inlaw), Sarah Barton of Slimbridge, who was present at the time of the death.
