That is very interesting. Elizabeth Barber, widow of George, married Mathew Patton in 1750/51. She had 5 children by Patton, I believe. If she was born in 1701, then she was 50 when she married Matthew, which is usually past the child-bearing age.

One possibility for parents of George...John Barber and Elizabeth Songhurst Barber came from Sussex, England on the ship "Welcome" to Chester, Pa in August of 1682. Also her father John Songhurst made the trip. In 1682 both John Barber and John Songhurst were granted land by Wm. Penn. Also, Sarah Barber, dtr of George and Elizabeth, married Reese Watkins of Chester, PA in 1757. Also, Reese Watkins was brother of Margaret Watkins of Chester PA who married George Barber II in 1767. Also, some of the Barbers' neighbors in VA came from the Chester and Lancaster counties of PA. I still have not been able to make a definite connection, but believe this is a likely scenario. As I understand it, the children of George and Elizabeth were George II, Plyer, John, and Sarah, who was born about 1740 and married in 1757. I have not found any record of! > George I owning any land in either PA or VA, but do know that he and Elizabeth were among the first settlers in southwest VA in the mid 1740's, and most of those settlers came down the old wagon road from the Philadelphia Area. > > Joe Barbour > > > > "David W.
