David:According to my notes George Barber married Elizabeth Moore (b.March 13,1701 in Chester, PA), dtr of John and Margaret Moore. 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.

It does not matter how many web sites her name is on, if there is no document showing the evidence. I would just like to know for sure, that is all. There was a George Barber that sailed from London to Virginia in 1635, a hundred years before there is documentation on George and Elizabeth Barber in Augusta County. I do not know if that is the correct family, or if George's (of Augusta) family came much later and passed through Pennsylvania first, as so many other Augusta settlers did.

David, Joe, & everyone, I was told some time back that there was a deed, Charles Moore to his daughter, Elizabeth Barber, in1747 in Augusta County before she married Mathew Patton. I have not been able to find it or find anyone that has a copy - so I'm still looking for documents to prove the Moore connection. If anyone on the list has a copy, would you please let us know it exhists & where you found it & what it says.
