The Barefoot line magically appears in PA in the 1700's. We put a family together for Benjamin, whose father was most likely Samuel Barefoot from Chester County, PA. Where the Barefoots came from at that point - it could be that they arrived in Virginia or North Carolina and made their way north. There are early Barefoots in both Virginia and NC but we haven't been able to devote time to research and see whether our Samuel (b. ca 1720) can be proven to come up from either of these lines. We are always glad to welcome a new researching cousin. My line is from James, eldest brother of Job, who was born in 1788 to Rebecca and Benjamin.
