Hi Mary Ann,
I too am researching Barbours in Oxford Co. I have Elizabeth Barbour, born 23 May 1822 in Lochinnoch, Renfrew, Scotland (although family lore says Ayr).She married John Schell in 1846 in Oxford Co. and they raised their family there - both she & John and buried in Hillview in Woodstock.I think Elizabeth's parents are David Barbour and Mary McKenzie - this from the IGI and based on her birthdate from our family stories.I have also found her brother William in the 1901 Census - he never married, came to Canada in 1830 and was living in 1901 with Elizabeth's son Israel Schell & family.He was born Sept 22, 1816 - and this info helps to confirm that I am on the right track for Elizabeth's parents.In some other family journals/letters there is a reference to a nephew of Elizabeth's named Dave Barbour but I have been unable to figure out where he fits in!I have seen the various references to Dave Barbour and Agnes Murray and think there should be some connection but I can't figure it out - any ideas???
Susan
