My name is Karen Duncan email d1k1dunc@aol.com ( that is D one K one....) I never see the last name of Barton name on the lists for Ruddles Station. Yet, my cousins, Bart Wise and Kathy Anderson have a CD that lists Mrs. Barton as being there at the time of the attack. Also, our library has a book: Book; According to the KY papers index of the Draper report of Manuscripts, copyright 1925 ,page 514 of the index Daniel Barton - captured Ruddell's station ( this book also says this information was learned from an interview with John D. Shane). Another book: Pike Co, Illinois ,History, donated by Boone Family Research Assocation of Mo, August: 1996: As early as 1826, in Scholl's cabin , the first preaching was heard in the northern woods. In October of that year Stephen Ruddle, noted pioneer Christian minister who had spent 16 years as a captive among the Indians in the Ohio country, preached at the House of his friend, Scholl. He and Scholl had known each other as boys in Ky, prior to Ruddle's capture by the Indians at the fall of Ruddle's Station in 1730. Abraham was 2 years older than Stephen, he being 62 and Stephen 60 at the time the latter preached at Scholl's house in 1826. Ruddle in the same year, preached the first sermon heard in the south, at Thomas BARTON's log house in what is now Pleasant Hill township. Ruddle, captured when 14, escaped his Indian captors after 16 yars spent in their Ohio fastnesses, returned to Ky at the age if 30, and located in Scott county, that state, whence he came in 1817 to Ramsey Creek in Pike county, Missouri, where as early as 1810, there had settled a clony from KY, pioneer forebearers of several Pike county ( Illinois) families, among them Joseph McCoy,Daniel McCue, Eli Buckaloo ( spelled Burkalew in Missouri records), and Joel Harpole ( spelled Harpool in Missouri). (** Note: Pike Co, at one time was part on the Missouri side and part on the Illinois side)
Do you have any Barton's on your list?
I believe they should be on the list and have been over looked.
I do not know the name of Daniel BARTON's wife...but I believe she is the Mrs. BARTON mentioned.
Thank you ,
