More info: The DAR's newest book, 1996, updates all the others. John Barber (married Mary Allen) is found on page 147. He is listed as PS, which means Personal Service. My oldest notes on him show he was in the NC Militia until 1776-77. Kevin's John Barber (married Sarah) is also listed on page 147. His rank is Captain. Anyone can get information by writing to the secretary and stating the name and page number. There is a small fee. Dan, I will look up those numbers for you next time I go to the library. I think they are the numbers of other applicants, who mention serving with Capt. John Barber in their application. They may have been updated also. There are lots of Allens in this registry. Rose
