Godwin > > http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Lofts/5047/famtree/barber.html Oddly enough, in all my research so far, it is my own name that has given me so much trouble. Most of what little bit I know comes from "family lore", something somebody told someone sometime but no one can quite recall who, when, where or even why. I am a direct descendant of Moses Edward Barber, infamous cattle rustler and possibly murderer, though of course, most "relatives" I talk with claim him to be totally innocent. Sinner or saint (already got those on the Irish side!) he still is a fascinating character to be directly descended from. There are two sides to every story, as well as numerous versions, but these two excerpts from published books do well at summing up the general gist of the Barber - Mizell Feud. Jim Bob Tinsley's Florida Cow Hunter - Life and Times of Bone Mizell is written from the Mizell point of view, Ruth Barber Linton's "Excerpt from "Pine Castle: A walk Down Memory Lane" gives the Barber version. My lineage from Moses is as follows: Moses > Isaac > Henry > Warren > Harold > my father > me! I currently am activley researching these lines and hope to put the info up in a coherent format soon, until then you can see an on line Gedcom version of my Barber tree at Thomas Parker's site!
