Thomas was married in 1722 to Margaret Delap of Ballyshannon, and their only child William was born in Ballyshannon in 1723. Thomas became famous as "French Tom" because he settled in Bordeaux in France in 1725 and founded the famous wine firm of B and G, or Barton and Guestier. Tom’s son William married Grace Massy, a daughter of the Dean of Limerick. (1)1
In Ireland, the Barton lands were inherited by French Tom’s descendants. In 1754 French Tom had bought 115 acres of land near Coolacha from Sir James Caldwell, and also the Kilmore Estate of 15,500 acres: before this time, the Bartons did not have much land in Ireland. French Tom’s son William moved to the Grove Estate, Fethard, Tipperary, where he married and raised a family of 6 sons and 3 daughters. The sons were Thomas, William, Charles, Hugh, Robert and Dunbar, and the daughters became Lady Palliser, Lady Massey and Lady Fitzgerald. (5)1
A direct descendant of William and Grace was Andrew Barton “Banjo” Paterson (1864-1941), the famous Australian journalist and poet, through his mother Rose Isabella Barton who was born in 1844 in NSW.) (6,7)
William and Grace’s fourth son, Hugh, succeeded to the family’s wine estates on the death of his1
