Barden, George Riggs, son of George and Dolly (Witter) Barden; was born in Benton August 17, 1812. His father
was poor, and as George R. was one of the oldest of thirteen children, he was early put to work on the farm. At
the age of twenty-five, he married (in 1837); and started for himself on the farm on which he now lives and of
which he is the owner. His wife was Elmira Sutherland, and their children were Ashley W., Lucy A., Jennie E. and
Theda H. Mrs. Barden died March 17, 1863, and January 31, 1865, Mr. Barton married Jane Wilkinson. He is one of
the pioneer Republicans of Yates County, being a delegate to the first county convention of that party. In 1859
he was elected to the Assembly. He and his family are members of the Baptist Church, of which society he was one
of the trustees for twelve years. He is one of the deacons at the present time and a member of the pulpit committee.
