My mother-in-law's maiden name was Barber. Eugenia and Melford are her greatgrandparents. According to the 1880 United states Census Melford and Eugenia lived in Greenbush,Wi. According to her grandfather William's death certificate Melford was born in New York and Eugenia was born in Pennsylvania. My mother-in-law had heard stories that she was related to Thomas McKean one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence from Delaware. He in later life was the governor of Pennsylvania. Go to the McKean website and you can read his will etc. I am planning to look up Eugenia's death certificate in the Sheboygan County office.
