John Barber

Anecdote*"Another Barber researcher and I are trying to assemble the (supposed) 9 sons of Mr. Barber. We think his name was John, or maybe James, and if he was John, he might have died in Sheboygan County in 1873 and be buried in Union Cemetery. We have definitely connected five of the brothers: John R., William H., Joseph S., James L., and Crawford B. using family obituaries. The first four of these are documented with land patents in Plymouth Township, Sheboygan County, Wisconsin. Crawford settled in Waukesha County. All five are mentioned in interconnected obituaries.

Possible others are Curtis D., who bought land next to John R., and Aaron, who was born in Ohio and who bought one township south in Lyndon Twp., but soon moved on to Pulaski, Wisconsin. Curtis went on to Iowa. Their connection to the family is undocumented, and the father being John depends on Curtis.

William H. stopped in Indiana on the way to Wisconsin, so there may be family left behind there and in Ohio.

With names like James, William and John, there are many possible duplicates to consider. In addition, the family moved in about 1840 from well-documented Stark County, Ohio to newly formed Summit County, Ohio, where there were many other Barbers from the East Coast (see Barberton, for example.) Ours do not seem to be connected to the Connecticut or Vermont Barbers; Mr. Barber is said to have been born in Virginia or possibly Maryland. There is also an unrelated Barber family in Sheboygan County.

The family had a penchant for using middle names and for swapping households. Many of these Barbers have different names in different censuses. Children who have documented parents are found in related households as "sons". Names do not run in the descendants, but among cousins." - Barbara Zanzig
