Response to Linda Killingsworth's request: Linda, My father was born, Isaac S. Barger, June 3, 1904 at Raum, Pope County. He subsequently changed his name to James Ray Barger in 1935. This has caused some confusion in data bases I have seen. Anyway, he was the son of Isaac Franklin S. Barger and Mary Ophelia Walker. Isaac Franklin was the son of Franklin S. Barger and Margaret McLain, and Franklin was the son of Isaac Shufflebarger and his first wife, Elizabeth Burton. Isaac Shufflebarger was one of three brothers who migrated to Pope County from Montgomery, County, VA in the 1820s. I am also descended from Isaac Shufflebarger's brother, Abraham. Abraham was married to Mary Elizabeth Anderson in Montgomery County, VA. Their daughter, Margarett, married John Barnett Whiteside in Pope County. Margarett and John Barnett had a daughter Elizabeth; she married Daniel W. Walker in 1864. Their daughter was Mary Ophelia Walker who married her second cousin, Isaac Franklin S. Barger. My dad resulted. I have heard of the Shufflebarger reunion in Montgomery County and hope to attend some day. I would be happy to exchange information with anyone. In particular, I find myself at a dead end with my great grandfather, Daniel W. Walker, and would appreciate any information on him.
