Familysearch.org (the LDS website) has a WILLIAM S. BARTON m. 14 JUL 1867 Washington,
Daviess, Indiana to NAOMA J. JOHNSON. The dates would fit. Also, William would have
been born abt. 1845-6 according to his age, the same as his wife.
Also see the 1880 census for Washington, Daviess Co., IN:
William S. BARTON Self M Male W 38 OH Farmer NY PA
Naoma J. BARTON Wife M Female W 34 IL Keeping House IN IN
James F. BARTON Son S Male W 10 IN OH IL
Elijah W. BARTON Son S Male W 8 IN OH IL
William L. BARTON Son S Male W 6 IN OH IL
Brooks BARTON Son S Male W 2 IN OH IL
Fidellia E. BARTON Dau S Female W 12 IN OH IL
This shows his father's place of birth as NY and mother PA, so I searched Daviess
Co., for an older Barton born in NY. I found a Gaylord G. Barton age 71 b. NY and family.

Enoch T. BARTON Son W Male W 42 IN NY IREL

My guess would be, based on the information in the census, that this might possibly be an
uncle, but not his father. Gaylord's wife is apparently (at least) his second wife,
as she is only 12 years older than his oldest son listed (she was b. IN). Also, the older
children list their mother's pob as Ireland (not PA) and the younger children
(including another William) list their mother's pob as IN.
I did another search for Gaylord and came up with both marriages:
Barton, Gaylord G. Murphy, Ann 19 Feb 1835 Indiana - Daviess County
Barton, Gaylord G. Murphy, Ellen 07 Nov 1849 Indiana - Daviess County
I realize that none of this may be of any help to you, but if there turns out to be a link
between Gaylord and your William, you’ll have the additional information. :)
Good luck! Dorothy
