    Notes 
    • In 1681 William received one hundred acres, lying between the great and little marshes, near the Cape Porpoise river. He also bought one hundred acres from his brother in law John Purrington, who received it as a grant from the town of Cape Porpoise. The latter tract William Barton sold in 1672 to Thomas Kemble and Thomas Beers of Boston; and the deed was witnessed by Elisha Barton, but it was not recorded until 1749. This tract of land descended from Thomas Kemble, a merchant of Boston, to his daughter, Sarah Knight. In 1686 William Barton petitioned, with others, to have the public records continued at York; and in 1689 he was on of those appointed for the surveying and laying-out of lots of land. Repeated Indian troubles continued to drive the Bartons from Cape Porpoise. In 1720 the town of Arundel, formerly Cape Porpoise, regranted to John Barton and Ebenezer Barton, sons of William Barton, all their father's rights in the lands and marshes on the Cape Porpoise River. It is supposed that by 1730 remaining Bartons had sold the last of their lands and had left Cape Porpoise (Arundel). In the early land records mention is made of Barton's Creek, Barton's Cove, Barton's Neck, and Barton's Further Neck, also called Easter Neck. from "The New England Historical and Genealogical Register" Vol 84 Oct. 1930 pg 402 & 403
