Note: Carl gives spelling of last name for all members of this family as Woolverton, vs. David Macdonald's Wolverton.

James Barton Wolverton was born in Maugerville, Sunbury Co., NB on 07 February, 1785 and moved with his parents and siblings to Northampton, Carleton Co., NB in 1798. A Woodstock Anglican Church baptismal record dated 3 May, 1802 indicates that he was "18 years of age the 7 of February next". Based on a story told by an uncle and recorded in a letter dated 29 April 1914 , James had an altercation with his father and brother Joseph and left home without any further communication. He returned to the USA, where in 1812, he was listed with the NY Militia Volunteers. James may have married twice but there is no record. He married Mary M Lamerson in 1812 and had relocated to Michigan by 1820 where he spent the rest of his life.

from David Macdonald: quoting a letter sent to B. A. Woolverton in 1914...

"We have not been able to locate any Family Records or anything of that nature; that would show conclusively where, i.e., from what state, the first Wolverton came to New Brunswick.

However, we have always been told he came from New York. As you probably know he came here as a Loyalist at the time of the American Revolution, Though not positive about his name I think it was Joseph.

He had two sons, one of them, my grandfather, was named Joseph. The other was named James. My Father told me that his Father's brother one day got into an altercation with his Father & brother & left home. That he never returned or wrote & they never really knew where he went, but supposed he might have returned to the old home in N.Y."
