<p class="just">Barton was Britain’s counterpart to American <a href = "./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_w_h_whittier_jg.html" >John Greenleaf Whittier</a>. Like Whittier, he was called the “Quaker Poet.” Barton attended a Quaker school in Ipswich. In 1798, he was apprenticed to a Mr. S. Jesup, a shopkeeper at Halstead, Essex, with whom he remained until 1806. Barton then moved to Woodbridge, Suffolk, and entered into business with his brother as a coal and corn merchant. He married, but his wife died after

only a year. Barton then moved to Liverpool for a short while, but returned to Woodbridge in 1810. A bank clerk by profession, he wrote 10 books of poems, many of which became hymns. His works include:
