Janet, I don' t think I have much or anything on this that you don't already have. I use a PML search that sends me messages etc when someone posts anything on rootsweb or any of its lists, if that post meets my definition. If you would like to write up what you know about this family and the questions to be answered I will design a PML search to watch for any clues. Sorry I can't devote more time than that right now.

Hi David, No, it doesn't look like mine, but they might be cousins. Mine is determined not to be found, it seems. Thanks, though, for checking and responding to my post.

Hi Janet, I appreciate any clues that might lead me to my Joseph Barber's family. There are some folks out there that have suggested the theory that he was a Melungeon and that he just picked a name for himself, and that is why I can't find parents for him. Who knows, it could be true. Thanks, and keep me in mind if you come across anything that could link to my Joseph.

Sorry, I didn't see the possible birthdate for this Joseph of 1830. Yes, if 1830 fits with Linda's Joseph, then it could be him, except I'm pretty sure George Wade's son Joseph was born in Georgia. I forgot to say that George Wade married Francis Winburn in 1820. David, we need to send each other copies of everything we can on Littleton and Mary and any possible parents for either or both of them. - Janet
Dear Linda and David, The father of this family was George Wade Barber. He was related to Littleton Barber and may have been his father, may not have been. Your Mary (David) could not have been this Mary. My family has the marriage certificate for your Mary and T.J. Smith. I don't remember the exact date but I can find it, but I think she was already married by this census. We have some information from an Ola Barber in Valdosta who was the granddaughter of Thomas Holden Barber and we have some we dug up. William Barber, George Wade Barber and Holden Barber were brothers. They had two sisters, Sarah and Mary. They had a half-brother named Thomas Street, who mentioned them and/or their children quite handsomely in his will (of which I have a copy). These brothers and their two sisters we believe to have been the children of Joseph Barber. But there is an odd coincidence here. If they were Joseph's children, Joseph had to have been married to a woman who was the widow of a man named Street and the mother of Thomas and Richard Street as well as the mother of William, George Wade and Holden. There was a John Barber in Bertie, N.C., though, whom we know to have been married to a Mary Street. Ola Barber's information gives Joseph's wife as Mary. So that means there must have been two Mary Streets during this same time period who each married Barbers, or John and not Joseph was the father of these five Barber brothers and sisters. However, I've been in touch with two descendants of John and Mary Street who know nothing about their ancestor Fredrick having these brothers and sisters. Anyway, my family believes Littleton Barber, my mother's greatgrandfather, to have been the brother of Mary, who was born just a couple of years after him in 1823, I believe. We think their parents were possibly a different George Barber who was a close relation of the previous group and Elizabeth Stanford, or that they were earlier children of George Wade and Francis Barber, before Joseph, George and Elizabeth came along. George Wade's son, George B. W. (stands for Boy Wade, in other words instead of Junior they would have called him George Boy) was killed in the Civil War. We have his will, too. I don't know if Linda's Joseph could fit into this family but not as the Joseph mentioned in this census who was 19 in 1850, and not as the father of William, George Wade, et al, because they were all born in the last two decades of the 1700's so their father must have born in the 1760's or earlier. Sorry for the long post but maybe some of this will ring a bell with some other "cousins" out there. - Janet ---------- > From: DNHAMILL@aol.com > To: BARBER-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [BARBER-L] Re: Joseph BARBER abt 1830 or abt 1803 > Date: Sunday, May 07, 2000 8:11 PM > > Hi Linda, > Sorry to be slow to respond to your message repeated below, and I can't offer > much help. > The only Joseph Barber I have is the one here: > 1850 Census - Columbia Co GA pg 21 > Barber, Frances 50 F [b 1799-1800] 500 acres b Ga > , Joseph 19 M [b 1830-1831] b Ga > , George 16 M [b 1833-1834] b Ga > , Mary 3 F [b1846-1847] b Ga [it has been suggested that > this is Littleton Barber's child] > I think Mary may be my Mary Barber marr Thomas Jefferson Smith, > > > It seems like that the father of this family may have been named Joseph or > George.

Hi Linda, Sorry to be slow to respond to your message repeated below, and I can't offer much help.

Does anyone have any info. on the Robert BARBER (b. abt. 1775-1776 England) who md. Elizabeth (Doherty) (b. abt. 1776-1780 S.C.). This couple was md. Dec. 18, 1798 in Lincoln Co., Ky.

Probably were others but I haven't found more yet. Robert & Elizabeth came to Pulaski Co., Ky. about the early 1820's and purchased land on the Rock Lick Creek area in Pulaski Co., Ky. Robert's last name of Barber has been found spelled: BARBER, BARBEE, BABER. On the marriage register of Lincoln Co., Ky. Robert's last name was spelled BARBEE, then on the marriage bond it was spelled BARBER. To my knowledge Robert & Elizabeth did not leave Pulaski Co., Ky. after they moved there and settled there. The children that I located lived close to them in the Rock Lick Creek region of Pulaski Co., Ky. Does anyone have any knowledge of Robert's parents? I found a William BARBER b.

Smith s, CCo Of the grandchildren that MARGARET BARBER mentions in her will, Josiah, George W., and Wadkins Reynolds were children of George Reynolds-Sarah Barber. Josiah Barber was the son of Matthew Barber and Johannah Johnson. The parents of Sarah Johnson and Elizabeth Stanfield are not known, they are evidently married granddaughters and could be daughters of William Barber, Reese Barber, or Sarah Reynolds. David
I think Mary's father might have been Robert Barber who was born in GA around 1768-69 and married Sarah Orr . They were early residents of Athens, GA ( Clarke Co ). Robert's father was Capt George Barber of the Wilkes Co,GA area, and his father was George Barber who died in Augusta CO, VA around 1745. According to my records Mary was born around 1796 and married Samuel Bryant of Clarke Co, GA. Also might mention that Robert Watkins was an ancestor of Mary and that she apparently named one of her sons after him in 1826. There is a lot of information available on the families of Capt George Barber and also Robert Watkins, Reese Watkins. Good luck.
