Hi, I am also interested in knowing more about the Barton family.
 
The Bartons were our neighbours on Faulkner Trail (The Forced Road, Stittsville).  Their house still stands. As a youngster 
I recall meeting two elderly women (possibly sisters) who lived in the house. When they passed on the house became 
a rental for a number of years. I think perhaps the James family later purchased the land? 
It is now owned by a couple who have restored the house.
 
Benjamin Barton's gravestone is at the Stanley's Corner's graveyard (the old St. Thomas Anglican Church).
 
Here is a link to the gravestone markers in the cemetery:

Notice that Maud Barton is buried with her husband, Milton Seabrook.
 
The Barton land is also recorded in the Carleton County Belden Atlas, 1879.
 
Yours very truly,
 
Ellen Faulkner
