The Barrick Family
I. William Barrick (Barrack), who died in 1750 on his Plantation of 125 acres, Part of Monocacy Manor Park, situated in Frederick County, Maryland, was the Great-Great-Great-Great-Grandfather of Charles Wesley Armor of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
William Barrick left a Will dated June 30, 1750, prob. July 27, 1750, in which he states he is of Frederick County, Maryland, and in which he leaves the Land, “I now live on,” to be divided equally between his sons Handeal Barrack and William Barrack; Handeal to keep Tract “he now lives on,” and William to keep Part “I now live on.” He names as his Executors, his sons, John Barrick and Peter Barrack. Daughters are also named. He does not name his Wife, who evidently died before date the Will was made.
It is proven by the above Will that each one of his sons was of adult age, and therefore, all of age to take part in War. And each of the above named sons of William Barrick (Barrack) did serve as soldiers in the French and Indian War, and they and their sons are also named in the List of Associators in 1775, 1776, in the Report Journal of the Committee of Observation of the Middle District of Frederick County, Maryland, September 12, 1775 – October 24, 1776; viz: (see “SERVICE RECORDS”).
William Barrick (Barrack) who served in the French and Indian War in 1758 and who with his sons, Jacob Barrick, George Barrick and William Barrick are on the list of Associators, September 12 1775 – October 24 1776, Frederick County, Maryland, was the Great-great-great-grandfather, on his maternal side of the house, of Charles Wesley Armor of Philadelpia, Pennsylvania.
II William Barrick (Barrack) died in 1791 on his Plantation on Part of Monocacy Park, in Frederick County MD which he had inherited from his father, William Barrick, at his death in 1750.
William Barrick left a Will dated April 20, 1791, prob. May 19, 1791 (Liber G.M. #2, folio 378 Frederick Co MD WILLS). In his will he names his Wife, Catharine, his daughter, Catharine DeVilbiss, his son-in-law, Adam DeVilbiss, his sons Jacob Barrick, George Barrick, Michael Barrick and William Barrick (who married May 22, 1778 Catherine Heartsock) and names daughters, Mary, Susannah and Sarah.

The Barrick Family of Frederick County Maryland was one of prominence and wealth as the records of their Estates reveal. They were foremost in patriotism, and supported the cause of their Country not only with their wealth but also gave their active service, both in the French and Indian War and in the Revolution and subsequent wars in which our Country has engaged.”
