I have Barbe ancestors from WV they are, Johan Barb m.Maria Catharing Richter in 1745 came from Hachstenbach, Germany. They came to America in 1749. They had 11 children. I know that along the line some of them lived in Laudown Co. VA and in
Lewis Co. WV. We have a Phillip in our line who's parents were Peter Abraham born 1803 in Shenandoah Co. Va. and Sarah Lynch. they were marries in Monoglia Co, Wv in 1835. they were both buried in Broads Run Cemetery Lewis Co. They had a total of 7 children.
