It is thought that this John Barber was living in this section prior to 1796, as the deed at that time (land grant) mentions that the land acquired was adjacent to his own line. This family up to 1802, consisted of wife, Mary, and children Abraham, Nicey (Mrs. John Davis), Sidney, William, Arbey, Zibey, James, John, Nancy, Allen, Gatsey, Mary. Deed Book F&G:71 & 168. It is not definite that there was a relation between these two families, though it is very probable. It is possible that the first Abraham mentioned might have been son of John, since John had a son Abraham who was evidently well past his majority in 1802, besides married daughter and perhaps others, though that does not appear in the deeds. The fact that the only Abraham Barber who is shown in land transactions, subsequent to 1802, when the Abraham, definitely the son of John, sold his share of John's estate, was the Abraham who came in 1787, it would appear that he was Abraham, the son of John. Still that may have been only a coincidence. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
