The dates are right. I have found so little so far, having just started, on the Barbe surname, that I really feel this is a connection. I would love to have what info you have concerning Phillip Barbe and his forebears. Phillip Barbe is my great grandfather. My grandmother, Maude Roberta Barbe was born in Lewis County on 4-7-82. Phillip married "Fernandeze" (I really doubt the spelling, but that is what I was given) Pritt. I have a daughter living in WV now and in the spring she is going to do some heavy researching for me and maybe we can prove the link. Appreciate your help. My email is annab@airmail.net. If you will send me your email address, if and when I find out whether we are "cousins" I will let you know.
