Surnames: BARFIELD AND EDWARDS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GUB.2ACE/496 Message Board Post: I am trying to locate information on the African-American Barfields. My Grandfather is Georgr Barfield and his father was named George Barfield. His wife was Mattie Edwards and her parents were Lam and Etafair Edwards.

Jack, It seems likely that William Westbrook, b. 7 Dec. 1778 [Rose posted] might also have been a son of Moses & Percie (Young) Westbrook, and, i f so, he might have been the one who married Winefred (____) Edwards, widow of Thomas Edwards who died 1816. ----abstract of court case I sent you Feb. 8th. The case said Winefred the widow md. William Westbrook of Greene Co., NC, , and they were living in Fayetteville, Cumberland Co.,NC, on 21 & 22 of September 1821. On their way south ?? Winnefred had md Edwards in Jan. 1809 but I haven't any dates for her or for Wm Westbrook. I never tried to learn what happened to them. Ruth Fentress

Forgotten that one. Has to be the same Charles. Still think he was married to Dorothy, sister of the Croom boys at least the first time. Can't prove it. Thanks for the reminder.

Martha Jack and List, Martha, my information on the children of Abraham Bussett Simmon's children matches your...... I also have that it was his daughter Winifred who married Charles Westbrook..... I have nothing else on this family tho, and if I have missed it being posted on the list DRATS!!! Jack, you mentioned a bible for the Charles Westbrook family........ would be deeply indebted if you could share what infor,ation it contains on the descendants of Winifred and her husband Charles..... I am trying to put some kind of comprehensive data base together for the Simmons/Simons family. There has been quite a bit of research dome on this family, but most research just follows downone or the other son's lines....... I would be most appreciative of any info you could provide.

Apparently she was in fact saying that Abraham Busset Simmons was the father-in-law of CHARLES Westbrook, not Moses (Charles's father) and the father of Winifred Simmons Westbrook. Mrs. Ropp's text reads: "Charles Westbrook and his wife, Winifred Simmons, of Lenoir County, N.C., came to Lowndes County, Miss. (now Clay County), in 1839. He was the son of Moses Westbrook, a Revolutionary soldier. His wife was a daughter of a Revolutionary soldier, Abraham Bassett (or Bussett) Simons of Jones County, N.C." Reading this hurriedly to respond to an email message (and I should know better than to read anything too hurriedly), I made the mistake of associating the possessive pronoun "his" in the last sentence with the last previously mentioned male--Moses Westbrook--instead of associating it with Charles.

Charles Young had a daughter Martha who married Spencer Caldwell. Their children were - Samuel, Simon, Joshua, Mary, Robert, Spencer, John and Charles Y. Caldwell. Children born in the late 1760/s, 1770s, 1780. Martha and Persis must have been sisters.

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------AC0E8B78DF0DECC2CB9D661E Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit It appears to me that the forwarded message below (which I had already sent to the two of you) gives us a pretty good idea as to how the name Percis came into the Westbrook and Exum lines, via Percis Young who married Moses Westbrook in about 1770. If, as seems quite probable, Henry Westbrook (b. 1782), the son of Moses and Percis Westbrook, was indeed the father of Sarah Ann (ca. 1815-1890) and Percis Westbrook, then we would have the connection. The possibility of Henry's being the father of these two women seems all the more probable considering that there was a Henry Westbrook living in the same district of Greene County NC as the widowed Amy Jordan Exum was living in 1816, as per the tax roll of that year. The son of Amy and Jesse Exum--Benjamin H. Exum (1811-1892)--of course, married Sarah Ann Westbrook on Nov. 23, 1836. Furthermore, one might speculate as to how the Titus Carr name entered the Exum line (i.e. with Benjamin and Sarah Ann's son Titus Carr Exum ca. 1842-1905). Here my hunch is that Sarah Ann and Percis's mother was a Carr who married Henry Westbrook. She might very well have been a daughter of Titus Carr, Sr. Ruth Fentress provided me with a list of the children of Titus, Sr.. Among the four daughters listed, Nancy and Sarah have known spouses. She did not have spouses listed for Winifred and Priscilla, either of whom could conceivably have married Henry Westbrook, if our scenario is correct. Priscilla may be the somewhat more likely spouse, in that Benjamin and Sarah Ann Westbrook Exum named one of their daughters Priscilla Florence (1852-1882) whereas they did not use the name Winifred.

Jack, Thanks for the recap. It helps a lot. Now, I have Charles Young on my database - no wife. Got to be the same Charles Young. From the records of list member Charles. Charles Young had a daughter Martha who married Spencer Caldwell. Their children were - Samuel, Simon, Joshua, Mary, Robert, Spencer, John and Charles Y. Caldwell. Children born in the late 1760/s, 1770s, 1780. Martha and Persis must have been sisters. Somewhere in the back of my mind seems like there was some speculation that a Daniel Young married Dorothy, daughter of Abel Croom. Abel Croom had a sister, Dorothy. Based on the below from Francis >>Just checked. There's a 1782 indenture between Daniel Young (ee) and >>Dorothy Young (or) for 100 acres on east side of Groundnut Creek.

I think there has also been some speculation that Charles Young was married to Dorothy, sister to Abel, Major and Jesse Croom. The father of the Crooms in Goochland/Henrico Co, Va was Daniel Croom.

Robert died when Spencer was a small child and Winifred remarried Isaac Tull and they moved to Dobbs Co with her son Spencer Caldwell. Martha

This is getting over my head there are so many families and counties involved. Someone getting all these additions and corrections on a database? This has been a great exchange by all of you and points out the importance of working in other states where so many of our families migrated. Jack, looks like your area of Ms is a treasure chest to prove back the earlier generations in NC. I know I did something on a Westbrook/Stanley record several years ago and can't find it anywhere even on my pc. Found another copy of the Bible records the other day and will get it posted. Think it was Jones Co. Martha

I am not that well versed on all the Simmons families so Tracy you or someone correct me. From the information I have something is not right with this Moses Westbrook - Percis Simmons line.

In his Will, which I don't have, he mentioned his son in law Charles Westbrook. Charles md Winifred Simmons who was born in 1778. The following Bible records Abraham Bussett Simmons and Rachel Bryan were married Feb. 28, 1764. Rachel Bryan daughter of William Lavender and Rachel his wife was born March 20, 1737.

Martha, It appears that I made a mistake reading Mrs. Ropp's history of the Charles Westbrook family. Apparently she was in fact saying that Abraham Busset Simmons was the father-in-law of CHARLES Westbrook, not Moses (Charles's father) and the father of Winifred Simmons Westbrook. Mrs. Ropp's text reads: "Charles Westbrook and his wife, Winifred Simmons, of Lenoir County, N.C., came to Lowndes County, Miss. (now Clay County), in 1839. He was the son of Moses Westbrook, a Revolutionary soldier. His wife was a daughter of a Revolutionary soldier, Abraham Bassett (or Bussett) Simons of Jones County, N.C." Reading this hurriedly to respond to an email message (and I should know better than to read anything too hurriedly), I made the mistake of associating the possessive pronoun "his" in the last sentence with the last previously mentioned male--Moses Westbrook--instead of associating it with Charles. Mea culpa, mea culpa. Jack Martha Marble wrote: > > I am not that well versed on all the Simmons families so Tracy you or > someone correct me.

There seems to be some confusion as to what happened to this Bible record. Jack just said he now has additional information so will redo the file on Tues or Wed and resend it. In addition he has found another one but we have to see if it is the one Rose has already posted.

THe charts I have from Cliff Darden does have her maiden name handwritten in as Westbrook, daughter of Moses with a ? mark. Wonder what the documentation is for her maiden name? Like you said, the exact same birthdates even without a surname, would make one look twice. The names of Abraham and Sarah's children don't include any Westbrook names - they are mostly Darden names.

A Rob Westbrook gave me some data a few years back and he had another name added to the list as Jack d. Elliott, Jr. gave: William born 7 December 1778. Also Martha gave me a deed which gives Persis surname as Young, copied below. I am looking for information on Gray Westbrook, brother to Burwell and son of John and Honour Ramsey(John's 2nd wife) Gray married Charlotte Wiggins about 1780??Had 5 children by the 1810 census. This indenture made the 22 day of November in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety one between Moses Westbrook of Dobbs County and State of North Carolina, Marchant, and Persis his wife formerly Persis Young, daughter of Charles Young, dec. of the one part and Benjamin Sutton of the same county... of the other part whereas Charles Young in his lifetime did make a sale of a certain tract or parcel of land containing two hundred acres more of less on the North side of the Neuse River and lower side of Bear Creek being the land the said Charles Young bought of Harry Roberts and being part of the tract of land he sold to James Mizzill the original grant was made to Thomas Burnett for 350 acres, to William Waddle and by the said Waddle conveyed to the aforesaid John Sutton dec father of the aforesaid Benjamin Sutton and the said Charles Young having given his bond to make a deed of Conveyance for the aforesaid land before the said...and whereas the said John! Sutton having left the land in his last will and testament unto his son Benjamin and in order to comply with the said Charles Young contracted and take up his bond and as one of the heirs... the said Moses Westbrook and Persis his wife as well in consideration of the promise of thirty shilling current money...payed by the said Benjamin Sutton the aforesaid parcel... Both appeared to have signed their names Wit: Joshua Croom Major Croom Brought to Court April term 1792 on oath of Joshua Croom Enrolled 5th day of May 1792 by D. Caswell Rose Parks

Martha, Article 492A William Darden, p. 258-259, of Chronicles of Pitt County, North Carolina, 1982 ‹ These are the sources listed at the end of that article submitted by Nancy Newsom Darden (Mrs. James H., Jr.) "Extensively researched history of William Darden family by P. "Cliff" Darden, III, (gives a Wilson N. C. address and phone number, but that was in 1982); Darden family Bibles (yes, plural); J. H. Darden family research notes, papers, letters, and copies of original early deeds, wills and estate settlements; Darden family cemetery; NC Archives records; Hertford Co., Gates Co., and Pitt Co., records; J. H. Darden Sr. was gr-grandson of subject." Maybe Westbrook was in one of the old documents.

Trish, The Darden Bible does give the exact same birthdate for Sarah but it does not give her maiden name unless I missed it, nor does it give her death date and don't see it in the cemetery records. THe charts I have from Cliff Darden does have her maiden name handwritten in as Westbrook, daughter of Moses with a ? mark. Wonder what the documentation is for her maiden name? Like you said, the exact same birthdates even without a surname, would make one look twice. The names of Abraham and Sarah's children don't include any Westbrook names - they are mostly Darden names. BTW, Jack posted that Bible on Lenoir Co, think with a link to Greene. martha >From: Trish Worthington Cobb <[email protected]> >Old-To: <[email protected]> > >Resent-Bcc: > > >---------- >From: Trish Worthington Cobb <[email protected]> >Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2002 17:17:23 -0500 >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [NCLENOIR] correction: re Westbrooks >Resent-From: [email protected] >Resent-Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2002 15:16:49 -0700 > >Hi Jack, > >I have a couple of questions. > >on 2/5/02 11:25 AM, Jack D.
