John Wesley Barbour is my ggrandfather.

5.John W. Barber - birth: x1840KY, death: 05 May 1879
1870 Wayne County Census john w 30/
married: Pherbia/Poeba Estep, 08 March 1860/1879
parents: John Estep/Mary Saddler
children:

He was married three times, Pherbia/Pheba died early and left two daughters and a son (my grandfather). He lived in Wayne County and then moved to Cabell County. At that time the area was called Inez and he lived on Route 1 (now called Malcolm Road, Barboursville, WV.

He is buried in the Levan Swann cemetery not far from the house where he lived. I am sending you a link of the cemetery where he and his 3rd wife Eliza are buried. We have never found the cemetery where Pherbia was buried. I think it would be in Wayne County but have never found out for sure.

The information you have for his birth and death dates are incorrect. They are:
Aug. 18, 1843 - May 18, 1918

Also he spelled his name Barbour although there is an existing obituary spelling it Barber. He never used Barber.

If I can help you with the line let me know.

What is your connection to the Barbour family?
