Other sources reveal John as second son, born 1803, but do not name an Augustus, so may be John Augustus. Valentine also bought land in Dearborn Co, IN, near or in Aurora. I seek parents (lineage)of Valentine. My ancestor is Alice (Alcey)McGlasson. I have been in touch with the various Barton lists, but cannot connect. Really want to find a male named Barton who descends from Valentine or one of his sons, since the Bartons have a DNA project going. Willing to help with the cost.
