Hi Sarah,
This is not the first time I've heard a question like yours. There are still a lot Barefoot's living in that area of Pennsylvania. Do you just want to know James Barefoot Sr.'s father? It's Benjamin Barefoot(b.1764) He married Rebecca Ross(b.1769) This is the great Barefoot-Ross mystery. For all us researchers, it is a roadblock. Benjamin's father is Thomas (b.1742) Thomas' father is Samuel(b. abt 1710). I can send you a gedcom file if you want. The Ross side of the family is supposedly related to George Ross, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. We have never proved that yet though. There are lots of Rosse's in PA.I stayed in Bedford, PA, 2 years ago and have the listings for the Barefoots currently living there.
