I descend from William Garton of Lancaster Co., VA who was born abt 1630 and died
abt Dec 1709.He was married to Hannah Margaret Angell.In his will dated 20 Dec
1709 he identified his children as Uriah, James, Anthony, Katherine, and Margaret.No
mention is made of a son John.
I’m aware of a John Garton of Richmond and Orange counties, VA who left a will dated
17 June 1698; it was recorded in now lost WB#1 (1692-1699).In his will he mentioned
his wife Martha and five children, viz: (1) Richard Garton; (2) John Garton; (3) Mathew
Garton; (4) Katherine (Catherine) Garton who married Thomas Patty (Petty) in Richmond
County 17 Jun 1698; and (5) Ruth Garton.I’m unaware of any documentation that would
substantiate the fact that this John Garton was a son of William Garton identified in the
preceding paragraph.If you possess such documentation, I’d very much appreciate
copies or references to it.
