Ala. However, you probably need to look into Miles Barefoot b. abt. 1811 in SC and died Abt. 1860 in Alabama. He was married to Elizabeth Broxton who was born about 1815. They were married in Pulaski County, Ga. 12-7-1828. They had 13 known children. Most are listed on the 1850 census with eldest son Joel living next door. According to John P. Johnston a local historian in Pike County, Alabama, Miles is buried in a rural area of Pike County, Alabama. Mr. Johnston also states this family of Barefoots changed their name to Barfoot while living in Alabama. This same Miles was married second to Mary McGuire married 1859 in Pike Co. Ala. The Chester you are looking for may have descended from this Miles Barefoot. Hope maybe I have given you a new direction in which to look. I have a question for you.......Have you ever heard of a Sion Barefoot who died in Sampson Co., NC in 1841? If so, do you know who his parents were?
