An account of the Barton family shows that Susannah was born in New York state, later resided in Cranbury, New Jersey; she was a daughter of Noah and Mary Barton......Source: "Roger Barton of Westchester County, N.Y. and Some of his Earlier Descendents" by George E. McCracken, NEHGR 106:297.)

Zebulon Morford's marriage to Susannah, by license dated 12 January 1746, is recorded in Middlesex County (NJMB M:44).

"«i»ZEBULON MORFORD, son of John Morford (#8), born 1722, probably in Middlesex County, died at Cranbury 25 October 1794, buried in the churchyard of the Old Presbyterian Church in Cranbury, but his and his wife's gravestones are said to be no longer extant. He married, by license dated 12 January 1746 (NJMB M:44), Susannah Barton, born about 1727, perhaps in Westchester, New York, died 15 January 1812, Cranbury, daughter of Noah and Mary (-- --) Barton. Children, per Bible records from descendants, all probably born in Cranbury: 52. John, born 10 Nov. 1747, died perhaps in the 1790s; probably the one listed in p. 80, List I, 1773-1774, in Kenn Stryker-Rodda's Revolutionary Census of N.J., shown as a resident of Burlington Co. He married Mary Chamberlain, 1753-1818, who moved from Trenton to Pittsburg, Pa. in the early 1800s with her sons John 1778-1869, James H., 1785-1843, Barton (whose dates of birth and death are unknown), another son whose name is not recollected by descendants, and a daughter Ann, 1791-1874, who had m. in 1814 Alexander Calhoun, who died in Trenton in 1826.
