From the Life of Clara Barton by Percy H. Epler, 1917.
"Stephen Barton was a Physician. His generosity forbade him to present his bills to patients, and though a good practitioner, he was unable to make a living from the profession. In 1764 he settled at Oxford Center, and engaged in trading, becoming in time the landlord of the old Tavern. IN 1776 he removed to Windson, Maine, with his sons, but returned to Oxford in 1790 and established a mechanical shop. He died in Main in 1805.
One of his sons was Stephen Barton, born August 18, 1774. This was the father of Clara Barton.".
