Samuel A. Barto 1830-1904

Not a direct line ancestor - his sister Sarah Barto married Henry Forney, that would be my direct line.

  Frances C Barto Willits (1845 - 1881)

  Alpheus Abner Barto (1857 - 1891)

  Elmer Ellsworth Barto (1862 - 1923)

William Barto ( - 1889)

William & Alpheus Abner Barto share one side of the 4 sided Barto Monument in the Salladasburg Cemetery

Note the date below is given as 1830 - but since this Samuel is buried beside his wife Henrietta, along with several of their children, and also beside his father Samuel Sr, who shares a side of the tombstone with Samuel Jr's daughter..  we can be pretty sure this is the same Samuel and the below has a mistake in the year he was born.  Or his tombstone is incorrect.  Either is possible.

SAMUEL A. BARTO JR was born in Union county, Pennsylvania, December 25, 1830, son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Gillman) Barto. His grandfather, John Barto, was one of the pioneers of Union county. His father was a carpenter, which business he followed all his life. He reared seven children: Jonathan, of Illinois; William; Samuel A.; Sarah, wife of Henry Forney; Catharine, deceased wife of David McDaniel; Susan, wife of Samuel Lorman, and Ellen, wife of Frank Kneibler. Samuel, Sr., died in 1884. He was a Democrat in politics, and a Lutheran in religion. The subject of this sketch was reared in Danville, Pennsylvania, and received a public school education. At the age of eighteen he located at Jersey Shore, learned the carpenter's trade, and engaged in that business at Liberty, Tioga county. He remained there seven years, and two years later located on his present farm in Piatt township, where he carried on his trade in connection with farming. Mr. Barto was married in 1852, to Henrietta, daughter of William Dieffenbacher, and has had the following children: William D. and Abner A., both deceased; Frances, wife of Samuel C. Willitts; Elmer, and Sarah E., deceased. Elmer married Mary McLaughlin, and has three children: Weldon F.; William D., and Henrietta. Mr. Barto is a Republican, and has filled several of the local offices of his township, He is a class-leader in the Evangelical church, and is superintendent of the Sunday school in that organization.

Another Samuel, married to another Henrietta, also in Lycoming County?? 

(the one above is in the correct twp, with the correct children..  but what a coincidence!  The second one might be born in 1830, but the one above has Samuel Sr living with him in the 1880 census, listed as his father.  I am pretty sure the family below is actually BARDO, as found here: http://trees.ancestry.com/owt/person.aspx?pid=21013730)
