!MILITARY "Benjamin served 253 days Militia duty, after May 12, 1780 (fall of Charleston) 1782, as a private under Capt. Major Parsons, Col. Benjamin Roebucks Regiment, South Carolina Troops; served in a Block House on the line, came in service to Earl's Fort, in scouting parties in the surrounding Country and one battle." (BART287)

!MILITARY Cited in Barton Roll of Honor, compiled by Carl James Barton, first ed. 2001 "Took part in the Battle of the Cowpens, in South Carolina. This battle took place on 17 Jan 1781, in figting that lasted just an hour; an outnumbered Patriot army under General Daniel Morgan destroyed a crack British unit commanded by the feared and hated Colonel Banastre Tarleton. There are indications that Benjamin may have been part of the Battle at King's Mountain. In the book "The King's Mountain Men" by Katherine K. White, she lists him as being at this battle. However, the book "The Patriot's of King's Mountain" by Bobby G. Moss list's him as possibly serving at this battle as there is no official documentation to prove this at this time. Mr. Moss' book "Patriots at the Cowpens" he does list Benjamin as being at this battle. (REF: Revolutionary War Pension File W-20 683 [sic], obit of wife Dorcas (Anderson) Barton dated 19 Jan 1850 and Dorcas' pension application) (pg397)" (BART385)

Bette quotes Harold Turner: He says, "at Mountain Grove Cemetery. The Barton Cemetery was there before they built the church. The church pulled up the field stones so it is almost impossible to see the graves. They are to the north of Bailey Barton, whose grave is marked. Church records say the Barton family was buried there, but almost all of Bailey's children are buried at Nimmons Cemetery on Eastoe River, so it must be his parents and brothers buried there. There were at least 10 other Barton graves there. You would have to have an archeologist to find them now."
