William Barton Born 30 January 1821 at Lebanon, St. Clair County, Illinois. Entered Salt Lake Valley September 1851.
William Barton, originally from Lebanon, St. Clair County, Illinois, was born to John Barton of Orange County, North Carolina, and Sally Penn of Elbert County, Georgia, on January 30, 1821. The oldest boy and the second child in a family of ten, he had four brothers and five sisters. Elizabeth was the oldest child. John Wesley, one of William's brothers, died when he was eighteen years old. Elizabeth Sarah Penn and Eliza Ann lived less than five years each and were buried in the Barton cemetery in Lebanon.
The parents of this family were farm folk and, having a large family to support, were far from wealthy. When Wilford Woodruff taught them the gospel, they accepted it,and both were baptized 8 March 1835. In spite of the fact that other members of the family were old enough to be baptized at the same time, they waited until later to accept the ordinances. William was baptized in January of 1841.
Because he was the oldest boy, and because John Wesley, who was two years younger,was a sickly child, William had to learn at an early age to be very responsible.His mother depended on him a great deal. William learned the flour-milling trade in Lebanon and became a millwright as well.
William could read, write, and work figures very well; thus it is likely that he had whatever education was available.
William Barton was chosen to serve as a bodyguard to Joseph Smith and was probably in Nauvoo for that reason only. During those early days in Nauvoo and the surrounding country, when the mobocrats were determined to annihilate Joseph and Hyrum Smith and all of Joseph's followers, it was imperative that the Prophet's bodyguards be men of stalwart character
