Book Description
George Barton and Jane Barber were married in Leverton, Lincolnshire, England, according to their marriage certificate. Some descendants believe that they first came to Canada soon after their marriage, and then moved to the Sturgis, Michigan area. In March 1867 they left Michigan and came to Henry County, Illinois where they resided on what became the Galva-Atkinson blacktop. In 1884 they moved to Annawan Township and lived where Johnson Sauk Trail State Park is now located. Jane died in this home of blood poisoning. George continued to live in this home and farmed the land until 1901 when he retired from active work. He passed away at the age of 97 years, 8 months, and 20 days. This book covers the couple's descendants through 1984.
