I am still hunting for my elusive Barnhart ancestors -- specifically the parents of my ggg grandfather James Barnhart. James Barnhart married Anna ROSOLY on 4 April 1850 in Jackson County, VA/WV, according to Jackson County marriage records. While recently perusing Jackson County, VA/WV death records, transcribed by Linda Murdock, I found the following new information: BARNHART, Sarah 12/26/1873 87y. Parents are Jacob & Hannah Love. Born PA. Sarah BARNHART is found living next door to my ggg grandfather James BARNHART in 1860 Jackson County, VA/WV. Sarah is listed as a 66-year-old living in the household of Jesse HANSHAW & his wife Elizabeth. Sarah BARNHART's place of birth is listed as PA. My ggg grandfather James BARNHART's place of birth in the same census is also given as PA. The age in Sarah BARNHART's death record does not correlate with the age given in 1860 census records. She is 66 according to 1860 census data. So she should be circa 79 at the time of death instead of the 87 given in the death record. But I've found that ages in census records, death records, etc. aren't always reliable. (Seems that vanity was sometimes a major factor.) Also found in Jackson County death records is the following report of my ggg grandfather's death: Barnhart, James died 9/17/1902, 74y 11 months 20 days, died Goldtown, parents H & S Barnhart Given the proximity of the HANSHAW residence to my ggg grandfather James BARNHART's house, I am lead to believe that Sarah BARNHART may be the mother-in-law of Jesse HANSHAW, mother of James BARNHART & therefore the "S" of H & S BARNHART, who are listed as the parents of my ggg grandfather in Jackson County death records. Does anyone have a copy of the 1860 Jackson County, VA/WV Census that lists the relationship of Sarah BARNHART to head of household Jesse HANSHAW? Does anyone have in their records a PA nuptial between Sarah LOVE, d/o Jacob & Hannah LOVE, & a Mr. H______ BARNHART? Thank you in advance for any guidance or information. Thank you also for your patience in this matter. I look forward to reading your E-mails & hopefully learning the answers. Sincerely, Mike Peters npeters102@aol.com
