  [S993] History-BARTER (Brothers Samuel and Joseph), (Name: Ancestry.com;), Samuel Barter Jr and Joseph Barter of Townsend, Maine. SAMUEL BARTER, JR., was the elder of two brothers who took up the island in Townsend, about 1755-56, that still bears the family name. This name sometimes appears in old records as Barto and it is not unlikely that the family is of French descent. At the date of their coming there were at least four of this family: Samuel, Jr., Joseph, Jennet and Elizabeth. There may have been parents with them, but no known record of this exists. The wives of these brothers each bore the name of Lydia, and for this reason an error occurs in the early records by which the same family of children is recorded under Samuel and Lydia that correctly belongs to Joseph and Lydia, as presented below. Samuel probably had children born soon after 1750, while Joseph's eldest child was born in 1760. Jennet married John Matthews, 1764, and Elizabeth married Jonathan Daws, 1768. They settled nearly midway of the island, on the east side, about opposite to where John Matthews settled on Back River. They probably came from Dover, NH. No known record exists of their ages or deaths. Their children, as far as known, follow, but the record is made up from several sources. https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/521:21931?ssrc=pt&tid=178474848&pid=182329729352 History-BARTER (Brothers) History of Boothbay, Southport and Boothbay Harbor, Maine, 1623-1905 : with family genealogies
