I have an Elizabeth White, married a Barber, then Bonser, then Hammers. Could this be the same person? She would have been born abt. 1734, not sure where though.

Hi Craig, Your message caught my eye, because my mother is a Barber, but from VA. However, oral tradition has my Grimes family tied to Tidball and Brownhill families. Do you have any info that would help? Joseph Grimes

Don, I just checked and of the website addresses you gave, the first takes me to Dean, Witter, Stanley and the second comes up with a no such address at home town.

William Lathrop BARBER lived in northern Indiana at LaPorte in the late 1800's. This was my great grandfather. I'm stuck on finding anyone earlier than him in this line. My studies take me to the name Charles Wood BARBER who married Harriet Newell LATHROP (I'm assuming that these middle names are from earlier family connections) and to places in Cayuga County, New York. However, I can never get confirming documents or other trails to the BARBER line. I know there is extensive Barber work in New York and Connecticut but I never seem able to get tied in. If anyone has any connections to these names... I'd appreciate hearing from you.

Marlor and Pegey Marlor. According to Stephenson's book, the Rev. William Martin instigated the removal from Ireland to South Carolina when land leases were up for renewal and the land owner (the Earl of Donegall) huge increases to renew them. Not everyone on the five ships was part of Rev. Martin's congregation - many others joined up with them. There were five ships: the Lord Dunluce, Hopewell, Pennsylvania Farmer, Free Mason and the James and Mary. Stephenson checked names of individuals for whom surveys were authorized (in the Council Minutes), but some bought land outright, and she did not check all possible spelling variations, so there were some who were part of the group but who are not mentioned in her book, or for whom she did not find further information. There were at the time only three counties, which have now become many, hence the attempt to identify the current county in which the land grants now lie. The book was copyrighted in 1971 by Jean Stephenson and privately printed at the Shenandoah Publishing House, Inc., in Strasburg, VA. My copy says that it could be ordered from a Miss Stephan in Washington, DC, but the address is probably long out of date, and I wouldn't want to publish it on the internet anyway. Email me directly if you want it.

Antrim in the early 1700's. They were first in Scotland for a time. In Ireland they were linin makers and migrated to South Carolina with the Rev. William Martin in 1773. This family was a large family, likely about 8 sons. It was told in our family that the family home in Ireland was "a veritable fortress", whatever that means. The 2 youngest son's James and John L. Barber left Ireland on the ship the Pennsylviana Farmer in 1773 (date ???). I am looking for the names of the parents of James and John L. Barber. They were from Glenwherry, County Antrim. Also, I would be curious to know if there are any Barbers still living in the County Antrim area today? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks Jo Ann

According to the 1820 census of Pulaski County, Ky. the spelling of Robert Barber is Barbour also the same for John. The ages match up for John and Mary and they are next to Robert anyway it is hard to read it shows that Robert had 7 or 8 children I think I can account for 4 and one wasn't born yet. Also I believe that the date of my ggg Grandfather Johns birth is off. He lists his age as 50 in the 1850 census so I think he was born in 1799 instead of 1797, it also matches better with his mother who lists her age as 66 in the 1850 census of course women have been known to lie about their age. So Elsie I think their is a better than 80% chance that Charles and James are sons of Robert and Priscilla, as their age and place of birth all match. Now I am going to try and find some birth records. I have sent for some microfiche from Heritage quest on SC births, so wish me luck. Regards; Jack

Linda, Thanks for the info on the Barber family. By coincidence, all of my mother's family comes from Caldwell Co., Texas. I know that area rather well and have run across the name of Barber in cemetary research. But unfortunately, my Barbers were on my dad's side of the family. I will try and find that book and give it a look. Who knows - there might be some- thing in it for me. Thanks again, Brenda

Hi Brenda, Our Barbers were here earlier, but there could still be a connection. They were in TX in Caldwell Co, San Saba Co, etc, and Bexar is not that far away. There is also a good chance your John was related to Capt George Barber. There is a book about him and his descendants. I feel we may connect to him too, but no proof. If you have a good library with research center and genealogy section, go and have them help you find the book. You can't check it out but you can look at it there.

regret the John you write of is not my John from NY about the turn of the 19th century and whom I am having a hell of a time legitimizing
