Jeffersonian Republican. (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1840-1853: February 12, 1852
Died in Milford, Pike county, Pa., on the 14th ult., James Barton, aged about ninety
years. He was born in the year 1762, in the State of New Jersey. At the time of the
revolution he held a Lieutenant's commission under the British Government, being
then in the 16th year of his age. He never renounced his allegiance to England, and
died a subject and pensioner of the Queen. For the last fifty years he has resided
in this place, and to him are the people mainly indebted for the principal
improvement of Pike county, and more particularly, of the village of Milford. He was
always foremost in every public enterprise. Being a great reader, he acquired a fund
of general information surpassed by none. He was perfectly familiar with the affairs
of our Government, and was warmly attached to our institutions. His talents were of
the highest order, and but for his alienation from our country, he would undoubtedly
have filled high places of trust and confidence. He died universally respected. Cor.
of the N. Y. Tribune.
