Jane, How nice to hear from you again; I have fried several computers since we last communicated. You are correct that the Henry county, Va. Barkers were the same group who later ended up in Washington county. John married to Snead was there as well as his son Charles of my interest; Charles born 1763 was by tax records really a resident of Henry county when he fought in the 1780 Battle of Kings mountain with Campbell's troops; this is still a shock as I assumed all of Campbell's men were militia from Washington county. Charles, along with John, officially moved to Washington county when they had a land warrant after the war. There are however more in HENRY than John, Charles, Joel, Thomas, etc. and I have been trying to find out who the others were and where they came from as well. Henry is also on the NC line and it is possible some of the NC lines came from here as well. I am still trying to document with primary material the father of Charles as Edward or Charles as there are at least these two conflicting versions as to who is his father. I will send you copies of some material I have received, none really conclusive proof. At some time I would appreciate your wise counsel.
