James H. Barber
James H. Barber, my great great great grandfather, was born in North Carolina in 1790. Although he is of unknown parentage, it appears from many indications that he was probably from eastern North Carolina, most likely Onslow or Johnston County. In about 1813, he married Mary Ann Collins of unverified parentage. Born in 1788, she too was a native of North Carolina, probably Jones County.
James H. and Mary Ann began their married life in North Carolina and four children were born to them while they lived there. The first was Cassandra or “Cassa”, born in 1814 and later married to Kindred McCarty whose family came from the Edgefield District of South Carolina. She was followed by John Collins born in 1815 who married Eunice Satcher also of the Edgefield District. The next two children were daughters who both were reputed to have been born in 1820 although there is no indication that they were twins. They were Amanda who became the wife of Solomon Boykin and Harriett who married Middleton Satcher.
The Barber family, parents and four children, moved to Twiggs County, Georgia sometime between 1820-23 as their second son, James Hinton was born there in 1823. In 1826 a third son, Isaac Newton was also born in Georgia. By 1829, the family had made their way to Alabama where the last child and fourth son, Seaborn Jones, was born in that year.
Records do not show if the family’s ultimate goal was to live in Mississippi or if they seized that opportunity when land became available, but in 1830 they moved from Alabama just across the state line to Wayne County, Mississippi where they settled on land from patents purchased from the United States government. The land that was opened in this area of Mississippi had formerly belonged to civilized tribes of Choctaw, Cherokee, Chickasaw and Creek Indians and was known as the Mississippi Territory. By the time the Barbers reached their Mississippi destination, their family of seven children was complete and their oldest son, my great great grandfather, John Collins was about 15 years old. The land that the Barber family owned was later to become Clarke County when this new county was formed in 1833 from a part of

Wayne County. Their property which comprised approximately 400 acres was located just a few miles northwest of the town of Shubuta and it was on this land that James H. raised cattle, hogs and sheep and in addition kept bees. He farmed and lived in this part of Clarke County until his death in 1851 at age 61. His wife, Mary Ann also died in Clarke County in 1859. She was 71 years old. They are reported to be buried in the area, but their gravesites have not been located by this writer.
John Collins married in about 1837 and moved from Clarke County shortly after his marriage as his first child, my great grandfather, Isaac Ichabod Barber was born in Smith County. James Hinton, the second son, married Hester Ann Boykin and remained in Clarke County where he apparently lived on the family property. Isaac Newton married Tabitha Gardner, daughter of Marmaduke Gardner, and moved to Milam County, Texas and Seaborn Jones married Tabitha’s sister, Esther, and moved to Williamson County, Texas. Of the three daughters only one remained in Clarke County and that was Amanda Boykin. The other two daughters, Cassandra McCarty and Harriett Satcher moved to Winn Parish, Louisiana.

 I received the following email from Fred Willard.
We have a very important connection about the Barber surname that you may have
not discovered yet. A Barber is listed on a dead or alive list as a Machapongo
(sic) Indian and we even have his original Indian name. A Barber is also listed
as one of the “Great Men” of the Yawpim Indians and I think the surname came
from the Cape Fear River in 1666 but was originally from Barbados. I hope I have
“Tweaked” your interests and would like to invite for you to join our membership
DNA study. The cost is only $30.00 per year + the cost of the DNA tests. You can
leave the study group any time you want.

Research has so far uncovered at least 4 main Barber lines in America
1)
Thomas Barber born in England who came to the Connecticut colony as a carpenter
in 1635.
2) Moses Barber born in the Rhode Island colony in 1652, Son of
James Barber born in England, who came to the colony in approx. 1633.
3)
William Barber, born in Drumcliffe Parish, County Sligo, Ireland in 1761. There
were several prior generations in this area of northwestern Ireland. The
earliest arrival was around 1656. He was a disbanded Cromwellian soldier
according to the Schedule of Officers, claiming as soldiers under the Acts of
Settlement and Explanation, MSS, Record Office, Kew, London. Descendants of this
line can be found today in Ireland, England, Canada, US and Australia.
4)
Francis Barber who came alone aboard the Plaine Jone in 1635 landing in Virginia
Colony. Later settled in NJ and is possibly the source of NJ Barbers.

Hi
If you were interested at all in this and checked through all
the
attachments, you would see that the Carrow and Caroon surnames are
"surnames
of interest" for the Lost Colony DNA Project.My own family is here
on
Eastern shore VA/MD by mid 1600s and also in DE by 1680.There is a family
of
the same name in Northeast North Carolina where I now live by 1663-1694.
We
believe they are the same family and that they emigrated to Bermuda
and
Accomack VA after 1641.Their emigration stops by 1678.
The Lost Colony
Project shows them intermarrying into Tri-Racial Isolates
and other remnant
populations in North Carolina.Since we believe it is the
same small group of
men from Portglenone Antrim, Ireland who are brothers or
cousins, we are
encouraging this research.
Currently in the Carrow surname group we have two
of the name who VERY
closely match MacDonald which is the Scottish Clan they
belonged to.The
"Carrow" portion is from LochCarron, Scotland..prior to
1590.There also are
a couple spelling it Carey who match Clan
Donald(MacDonald) also.

Is your family
part of the Roanoke Lost Colony? It could be! My name is
Roberta Estes and
I'm the Director for DNA Research for the Lost Colony
Center for Science and
Research. (www.lost-colony.com Our goal is to
discover the fate of the
Roanoke Lost Colonists.
For those of you who don't know about the mystery of
the Lost Colony, here's
a primer. In 1587, Sir Walter Raleigh financed a
venture in which 116 men,
women and children were planning to establish the
first permanent colony in
the New World. Their goal was to raise tobacco and
other supplies that
colonists were unable to obtain in England, and to search
for precious
minerals, like gold.
In the fall of 1587, the colonists
finally arrived on Roanoke Island in
present day North Carolina, after a very
difficult journey in which their
food supplies were ruined. They sent John
White, whom they had elected
governor, back to England to obtain food and
supplies and expected his
return in the spring of 1588. However, the Spanish
attached England and
England, having no Navy, impressed all of her fishing
vessels and private
merchant ships into Naval service. Finally, in 1590,
three years after
leaving the colonists which included his daughter,
son-in-law and infant
granddaughter, he returned to Roanoke Island to find it
deserted, but not
destroyed. It appeared as if the colonists had simply
moved. A single
word, a clue, Croatan, was carved on a tree. The Croatan
were the friendly
Indians living nearby. Before John's departure, he had
instructed the
colonists to carve crosses if they had to leave in distress.
There were no
crosses.
John White would spend the rest of his life
searching for the Lost
Colonists. Many hints and clues indicate that at
least some of the
Colonists survived and were assimilated into the native
tribes. The
question is, did they, and if so, who are they today?
In
1993, the original site of the Croatan village was located.
Subsequent
archaeological and genealogical research suggests that the
colonists did
survive, and that when the land was granted to settlers, it was
granted to
some of those survivors who were by that time considered to be
Indians.
With recent advances in DNA for genealogy, we finally have, today,
the
ability to solve the mystery. We have created a plan that combines
history,
genealogy and DNA to solve the mystery. However, we can't do this
alone.
We need the help of the families who have been identified as "families
of
interest", being either roster members of the Lost Colony of those
who
obtained land grants on the original Croatan village site. Many of
those
names are the same.
In order to educate people and work closely
with people who are interested,
we are sponsoring the Lost Colony Symposium
for DNA and Recent Research
Sept. 7-9, 2007 at the Lost Colony Center in
Williamston, NC. The symposium
will be held between the Center and the
Holiday Inn, as noted on the flyer
at
http://www.lost-colony.com/DNAsymflyer.html.
Given that your surname is
one of those on our "Names of Interest" list, I
hope that people on the list
will join with us in our research. I am hoping
from this mailing, aside from
encouraging people to attend the Symposium, to
achieve the
following:
1. To identify a primary research person or persons for your
particular
surname who would serve as a contact/coordinator for future
postings,
requests and research.
2. To identify a family archival
website(s) if one exists.
3. To identify if there are any families of that
surname that are from NC
(or early coastal SC or VA), have oral histories of
Indian or "mixed"
heritage, are involved with any of the tri-racial isolate
groups
(Melungeons, Red Bones, etc.) and/or have any oral history of the
Lost
Colonies.
4. To determine if the family group is involved
already with DNA testing,
and if so, who coordinates that effort.
5. To
determine if there is any research occurring or that has occurred for
your
surname in Great Britain, and if not, if anyone is interested in
pursuing
that avenue.
To become involved with the Lost Colony project, or to
support the project,
please attend our Symposium. Our project plan will be
announced at the
Symposium, and we have a long list of wonderfully
educational speakers.
Bring your pedigree charts and your genealogy as the
right people will be
present to help you with your testing plan.
If
you can't attend the conference, you can still join the project.
Information
will be posted shortly about how to do that on the Lost Colony
website. We
are in the process of setting us a private newsgroup for
project members only
which will also be available after the symposium.
Furthermore a blog is being
created and blog location info will be posted on
the Lost Colony website as
well.
If you are interested in this project or can be of help in any way,
please
contact me at restes@comcast.net.

Name
Origin
According
to "A Dictionary of Surnames"
by Patrick Hanks and Flavia Hodges, the
name is English and is an occupational
name for a person who not only cut hair
and shaved beards, but who also practiced
surgery and pulled teeth.
***********
According
to A Dictionary of Surnames by Patrick
Hanks and Flavia Hodges, the Jewish (Ashkenazic)
origins of the name are obscure. They do
say when the name appears it is found in
areas where English influence is highly
unlikely, so it could not be thought of
as an Anglicization of a Jewish surname.
Their best guess seems to be that it's a
combination of naming elements using a
male name beginning with "B"
and a part of a Hebrew surname "bar-"
(meaning 'son of ..."). They don't
mention nationality, but the
understanding of the meaning of
Ashkenazic is that they come from some
part of Germany.

| 12/26/02 I received the following email
from Fred Willard who is doing the research into
The Lost Colony. I asked him about the fact that
the Barber name is mentioned sometimes in some of
the news articles I have seen and sometimes it is
not mentioned. However, there does seem to be
some evidence to suggest that there is a link
between the Barber name, Native Indians and The
Lost Colony. This is what he said.

Vergie:
This is a very preliminary study. Having
said that Barber is emerging as one of the most
important names in early Croatan and Mattamuskeet Indian culture at the time of the
Tusscarrora war. John Barber
is listed as one of the "Great Men"
of the Arrowmuskeet Indians (later
Mattamuskeet). He is also
listed as one of the principals waging gorilla
warfare four years after the war is over in the
swamps of the "Croatan Indian Lands" (now called East Lake).
I will be giving a lecture at the Brown library
on Feb. 4th at 7 PM. Please come and meet
with me after the lecture where we can have more conversation.
