But that's about 2-300 years ago. You might find it more helpful if you could provide any kind of name and geographical location and time period. The Barefoots are many and far-flung. There is a good book about the Barefoot line called: Barefoot Families Of The South by Sue Cannady Barefoot of North Carolina, published in 2005. Check the internet for places that might have it for sale, or ask your local library or Family History Center if they might have copy or obtain one through an interlibrary loan. Good luck Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I have a 3rd Cousin match to a Smith who is closely related to the Barefoot family in Johnston, North Carolina (Nathan T Barefoot and family). I have recently found another shared segment of DNA with 5 other's and found that one had a mother with the maiden name Barefoot, but they appeared to be from Texas for several generations. I was wondering if there is a line somewhere that connects the Johnston, North Carolina Barefoot's to Texas? Also, does anyone know of any autosomal projects for the Johnston, NC area or the Barefoot's? I have also had some matches with Peacock and McLamb, which appear to be from Johnston also, although much further back. Any help would be appreciated.

One night last week the following accident happened at Bruton, in the county of Somerset. Mr. Barefoot, an eminent Chandler and Soapboiler, returning home from an inn in that town, accidentally fell into the river and was drowned: he was found the next morning standing on his feet in water, with his hat and wig on, (the water being up to his breast) and holding the rushes on shore with both his hands. He had upwards of ten guineas in his pocket , and a watch. He went from the inn at eleven o'clock, and his watch stood at just a quarter after eleven.

I am currently using DNA to try and figure out my maternal family tree. I have a 4th cousin match who I am working with who has shared their tree with me and we both share an overlapping segment with a grandson of Nathan T Barefoot and Lina Peacock. >From what I can tell this family appears to have stayed in the same area along with the Tart, Peacock, and McLamb families. I am trying to create a tree for this family so that I can try and find a common ancestor with my 4th Cousin match and was wondering if there are any well documented compilations of this family that I may be able to get ahold of. I have started a tree, but there seems to be a few areas already with a lot of conflicting information. Most of my other match's family has stuck pretty much around the Louisiana area with names like Hutchinson, Jones, Shirey, George, not name a few off the top of my head. So on top of wondering if there is a compilation of this NC family I would also be interested to know if any of this branch split off to Louisiana. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BIOG: NAME: UPD: -----------------' http://www.usgennet.org/usa/topic/historical/1908ok_2_21.htm#barefoot History of the State of Oklahoma Vol. II by Luther Hill, published 1908. -196- cont. GEORGE W. BAREFOOT, of Chickasha, was one of the old-time ranch men of the Southwestern trails, one of the more permanent cattlemen of the Indian Territory, and at a still later period in his stirring life a large property owner and developer of that town. He is not only extensively interested in its residence property, but in the Oklahoma State Bank, of which he is the vice president and with whose predecessor (the Chickasha Trust Company) he was prominently identified from its organization. Mr. Barefoot was born in Fayettville, Arkansas, on the 10th of February, 1849. About nine years before this event his father had brought the family from Missouri and in 1859 made another move from Arkansas to Grayson county, Texas. Here he engaged in farming and the cattle business, and furnished his son, George W., with his first real experience in these occupations. The boy developed into a strong and thrifty youth on the Texas frontier, but the primitive conditions of his mental trai! ning are well illustrated by the shifts to which he was put to obtain his first slate and pencil-digging the raw material himself from a neighboring slate quarry. Thus armed, he learned to write and "cipher," and at the age -197- sixteen began the actualities of life on the range, with J. C. Latimer, who was one of the pioneer cattlemen of Montague county, Texas. His first service on the trail was incurred in 1867, when he drove cattle across the Indian Territory on the Shawnee trail instead of the more frequented Chisholm route, then particularly threatened by the hostile Osages. He afterward made other trips across the territory to Hunnewell and Baxter Springs, Kansas, and even exposed himself to the fierce onsets of the Comanches in the interests of his employes. He thus acquired the courage and experience to engage successfully in the business himself. From 1878 to 1885 Messrs. Barefoot and Bryant ranched an the extent of country from Henrietta, Clay county, to Wichita Falls, Wichita county, Texas, and during a portion of this period had cattle on Cache creek, in the Comanche country, Indian Territory. During this era their output was extensive, as many as ten thousand head being marketed from th! eir stock annually. They also owned a ranch in the Chickasaw Nation opposite Red River station, and they fed extensively at Gainesville, Clarksville, Denison and Whitewright, Texas, shipping the cattle to St. Louis and Kansas City. Later, Mr. Barefoot himself established feeding quarters at Purcell, having individual cattle interests in the Chickasaw Nation. Eventually he closed out this ranch and all similar interests. He then came to Chickasha, purchased a tract of land south of the place, and, after perfecting his title to it, platted it as the Rock Island addition to the town. After readily disposing of this piece of thirty acres, he bought other property in Chickasha, some of which he has sold and pieces of which he has improved and still handles as landlord. He is one of the large owners of residence property in the city, and his holdings mark him as one of her most substantial citizens. In 1904, when the Chickasha Trust Company was organized he was elected an officer! , and in 1908, when it was merged into the Oklahoma State Bank, he was continued on the directorate and chosen vice-president. Daniel Barefoot, the father was born in Kentucky about 1811, and was one of two sons, his father dying when the children were very young. As a single man he went to Ripley county, Missouri, and afterward to Fayetteville, Arkansas, where he married Malinda Stone, who died in Montague, Texas, in 1881, fourteen years prior to his own demise at the same place. In 1867 the father had brought his family to Texas, establishing them in Grayson county, where he was a modest farmer and cattleman. On March, 16, 1868, George W. Barefoot, married Miss Sallie Boone, the ceremony taking place in Grayson county, Texas. Emma, their eldest child, is the wife of E. T. Woodson, of Oklahoma City. Bert B., the eldest son, graduated from the Georgetown (Texas) College and from the law department of the Texas State University; is a rising attorney and Democrat, and is the present county attorney of Grady county, having, as the unanimous choice of his party, defeated his Republican opponent by 1,837 votes. His wife was formerly Mamie Spencer. Clifford, the third and youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Barefoot, is a student at the Oklahoma State University. Mr. Barefoot is a Democrat, a Mason and an Elk, and a man of balanced character and broad usefulness. ---- George W. Barefoot was a member of the Choctaw tribe by virtue of intermarriage. His wife was 1/8 Choctaw. (see attached 'letter') Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Her mother Was Elizabeth and her mother was Beddie Jane Barefoot. The roll number for Solomon Price is on the back of his military desertion papers from Bradley county, Tn. military records. For 10.00 you can get a copy from the state. The story I heard from the Indians who I talked to said that the Indians were rounded up and placed in hold "pens". They either signed up to join the military or they could choose to stay in the camp. They were not feed or allowed to leave; some choose to die. Most joined the military and as soon as they could they escaped, or as the military called it "deserted". I have no evidence of this story but would like some if anyone has it. There are records of many Indians deserting the military during this period of time. These records include the Roll number of the deserting indian stamped on the back of the form.
