Welcome to Barton County, Missouri Part of Genealogy Trails

Our goal is to help you track your ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical and historical data and placing it online for the free use of all researchers.
We're looking for folks who share our dedication to putting data online and are interested in helping this project be as successful as we can make it.
If you are interested in joining our group by hosting either this county website or one of the available county websites
please visit our Volunteer Information Page and contact Kim.
 

A desire to transcribe data and know-how to make a basic webpage is required.
 

This County needs a Host. Until this site has a host there is no one to answer your research questions.
Data will be added as it is transcribed or contributed. If you have any that you would like to share just e-mail Candi.

BARTON COUNTY Is situated on the western boundary of the State. It is generally high table lands, level enough for agricultural purposes, but well drained. The land is principally prairie, interspersed with extensive groves of timber, consisting of linn, hickory, oak, locust, walnut, sycamore, cedar, cottonwood and elm, of which there will be sufficient for all practical purposes. The gravelly ridges are admirably adapted to fruit culture. Coal is abundant in many parts of the county, and several beds have been opened and worked with success. Limestone and sandstone, clays and sands for building are very abundant. The county is in a prosperous condition, and presents great inducements to stock growers. The Source is: P.M.
