Seeking Information on John Barger. Here is what I Know from personal research. John was born abt. 1818 in Clay County Kentucky (Birth Yr. reported from 1900 census) He married Elizabeth Baker in 1842 in Clay county. In 1859 He and Elizabeth filed a Birth return in Knox County Kentucky Here is the information from that birth return Name of Father John Barger Name of Mother Elizabeth Baker Name of Child John Bargo Birth day 2-8-1859 Bplace of Father Clay county Bplace of Mother Beacomb N.C. Residence of parents Knox county Ky. They had 12 children (?) Before 1880 the family went by the surname Barger. they are listed in the 1860 and 1870 census as Barger in the 1880 Census they are ALL Bargo. Early Marriage bonds show that John and Elizabeth's children married using the name Barger ...examples are... Robert Barger married Hannah Callebs 1863 Peter Barger married Mary Scalf 1868 Everyone slowly became Bargo on Paper trails and that became the predominate spelling by 1880. February 3 1885 John Bargo (same as above barger) Married again to Johanna Price On the marriage bond he gave no information on his parents . I have looked into several counties and close states for other Bargo/Barger variations but have only found a few in states such as TN . In short I would very much like to know if anyone has traces of what could be proven siblings of John OR possibly parents . Willing to research in-depth ! If you can be of any help or have any ideas on how to get over this brick wall Please contact me at kjbrigg@inetdirect.net Thanks for your time ! Kim
