17,000 Articles from the Encyclopædia Britannica, 11th & 12th eds. William Barton (1748–1831) Soldier of the Revolutionary War, born at Warren, Bristol County, RI, on the 26th of May 1748; he died in Providence on the 22nd of October 1831. The exploit which made him famous was his bold capture of the person of the British General Prescott, upon the night of July 10, 1777. For this exploit Congress presented him with a sword and he was made brevet colonel. He received a grant of land in Vermont, where, at Danville, he was afterward imprisoned for fourteen years, on account of failure to pay a judgment brought against him in a contested claim to land. Upon his visit to America in 1825, General Lafayette satisfied the claim against Barton without the latter’s knowledge. © 2022 WEHD.com
