Re: need info from the 1932 book by Kirk Bentley Barb

ARTHUR_ONEILL — 2009-09-01 14:15:03Z

I have the 1932 "The Ancestors & Decscendants of Joseph Mason & Debby Ann Palmer" in .pdf format. The Barb information is limited but includes the author. The better book for you is the "Barb-Barbe Genealogy," Co-compilers Waverly Wilson Barbe and Alan Lee Williams, Honesdale, PA: Barbe & Associates, 1993, which is out of print but is in the Library of Congree and other libraries. If you'll send me a mailing address to kaon3346@comcast.net, I will gladly send you a disk. Art

Hello Cousin!

My line goes through Abraham Barb, brother to your Jacob Barb, Jr. and continues through, as you probably know, Mary Catherine Barb Spitler, to John Spitler, to the Thatcher families, and to the Goodale/Goodiel family to me. Of course we Barben/Barb/Barbe family members spread across the world....I had many discussions with Alan williams who apprently has "retired". I would cherish info from the Kirk Barb book...just don't know where to begin. Please reply and we can share our families with each other.

I know this is old message to reply to, but I am a descendant of the Barbens/Barb/ family. I am a cousin to Alan Williams who I believe has "retired" from genealogy replies. Please send me info on books and I will correspond my line of Barbs/Spitlers/Thatchers to you if you are interested. I lived in Ohio for many years, but have moved to Georgia. Nice to hear from you "cousin"?

Re: Jacob BARB, Jr. ~ German ancestor

gruhastie — 2008-10-27 00:14:28Z

I am particularly interested in locating additional information about Anna Marie Barb, daughter of Johannes Jacob Barb and Maria Catherina Richter. The dates that I have for Jacob - 1718-1819, so he is probably the same jacob that begins your line of descent.

His daughter Anna Marie was born in 1755 in Loudon Co, VA. Abt 1773, she married Peter Drumm (possibly spelled Tromm). Peter's family also originated in Germany. He was born in 1752. I am not sure of his birthplace which is variously listed as Germany or Loudon Co, VA. I am wondering if you information includes any material about Peter. He and Anna Marie are my 5th grandparents. Abt 1805, a group of Barbs, Winegardners and Drumms moved from VA to Richland Twp, Fairfield County, OH. They were among the earliest settlers in the area.

If you could provide additional information about Peter and Anna, I would appreciate it.

Thank you.

I have him in New Jersey in 1942 and an estimated death date of 1976. Is the Barb book in the Library of Congress?

Louisa Davis Barb sister of senator TGC Davis cousins of Jefferson Davis or not?

brett_hardesty — 2006-12-24 19:10:53Z

Thomas Gustavus Caesar Davis died 10 jan 1891 Denton Denton county Texas proclaimed in his obituary to be the second cousin of former CSA president Jefferson Davis and a personal friend of Honest Abe Lincoln.Being a senator and a lawyer one could imagine him as being a friend of Pres. Lincoln. It is true through my research of Thomas that he was born VA. 1814 as stated in his obit, His obit says near Richmond? Thomas was a lawyer and a senator from Massac county Illinois. He was a prominent person in and of himself and I wonder why he would propigate a falsity if indeed it is false as stated by several researchers? Also a fact of TGC Davis is he had a sister Louisa and a sister Marietta Davis WHOM wed Jeremiah French in Limestone AL. Louisa wed a Ekanah Barb and also lived in Limestone AL. TGC WED Sarah Thornborough per his obit in Richmond however record is found of a union of Thomas to Sarah Thornbourogh in Hawkins COUNTY TN. I am curious as to who this man is if not a second cousin to Jefferson Davis. Below is the info I have on Thomas. Perhaps some descendants of Louisa Davis Barb ffrequent this board and may have some idea of the ancestry of these Davises.

Name: T G C Davis Age in 1860: 46 Birth Year: abt 1814 BirthPlace: Virginia Home in 1860: St Louis Ward 5, St Louis (Independent City), Missouri Gender: Male Post Office: St

name: F L G Col Davis Estimated Birth Year: abt 1814 Age in 1870: 56 BirthPlace: Virginia Home in 1870: St Louis Ward 4, St Louis (Independent City), MissouriName:

Thomas G. Davis Home in 1880: Saint Louis, Saint Louis, Missouri Age: 66 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1814 BirthPlace: Virginia Relation to head-of-household: Self Spouses's Name: Sarah M. Father's birthplace: VA Mother's birthplace: VA

Name: Thos G C Davis Age: 36 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1814 Birth place: Virginia Gender: Male Home in 1850
(City,County,State): Metropolis, Massac, Illinois

SKETCH OF THOMAS G.C. DAVIS
The most distinguished looking man who has ever resided in Metropolis was Thomas G.C. Davis. He was about 5 feet 10 inches in height, with a long body and finely developed neck and chest. He had a head and face like some of the handsomest of the Roman coins representing a Roman senator. He carried with him a dignity well adapted to his personal appearance.
His name was Thomas Gustavus Caesar, but he had none of the vanity that sometimes attaches to the name, and never wrote his name in full. He emigrated in the year 1844, when he was about 30 years of age, from Mississippi to Illinois. He came into the state with his wife and a small amount of baggage in a buggy without a top. He crossed the river and settled in Golconda. He was a man of remarkable powers of oratory. Only a few men in Illinois have been as highly endowed in that respect as he was. He was a lawyer of ability and also a man of large literary attainments. His talents were soon appreciated. In 1846 he was elected to the state senate, defeating Andrew J. Kuykendall of Vienna. In March, 1847, he was elected a member of the constitutional convention, which met in Springfield on the first Monday, in June 1847, and framed the constitution which was long known as the constitution of 1848 and which remained the constitution of Illinois for twenty-three years. In the meantime he had moved from Golconda to Metropolis and came to be known as the most distinguished advocate in Southern Illinois. In 1850 he became a candidate for Congress. He was a Democrat and claimed that the political management of the district had drifted into the influence of a clique and he refused to submit his claims to a convention. The Congressional district then extended from the mouth of Cache river on the Ohio to and including Marion county on the north. He made a complete canvas of all the district. Great crowds went to hear him and followed him around. The writer heard one man say in speaking to Davis: "No man can speak like he does without being endowed from on high." But he found the party machinery too strong for him and the regular nominee of the party was elected. Being a bolter from the regularly organized Democratic party he expected to received the votes of all disaffected Democrats, and of all persons who could be lured or enticed by his oratory and by the entire vote of the Whig party, which was only a small party in Southern Illinois. But some of the Whigs refused to vote for him because he was an expansionist. The question of the propriety of our acquisition of territory from Mexico was discussed in all political meetings in those days. The Democrats were then all for expansion-both the members of the regularly organized Democratic party and also the bolters from that party. Davis was defeated for Congress and then removed to Paducah. He afterwards removed to St. Louis and practiced law and died a few years ago in Texas.--Hon. W.H. Green

My Barb line

chilcat — 2006-05-26 20:56:28Z

Hello Debra,
Our Barb lines run the same descendant path for several generations. I believe my line is Piters, Johann Jacob, Wigandi, Johann Jacob, Peter, Moses, Peter, Peter Lee (b. 1861) who is the brother of your Bolivar (b. 1858). What I am trying to find out is if my Peter Lee (b. 1861) is the same Peter Lee who married Minnie Luella Phillips (b. 1868) and who are the parents of Emma Mae Barb (b. 1893, Randolph Co., WV). I sincerely appreciate any information you may be able to provide. Cathy
