Query Text:

Hello researchers. I am trying to connect my 3G Grandfather, William Barefield(and variant spellings)who is first documented in Raleigh County, VA (now WV) in 1854 to his ancestors. William gives various birth dates to the census enumerator, (1810 to 1813), but consistently says he was born in North Carolina. He died in Kanawha County, WV between 1870 and 1880. In the 1870 Federal Census, he has an adult son, Willie, living with him and his young wife and family. Based upon Willie's age, he would have been born about 1838 in Virginia. Assuming Willie really was born in Virginia, that would put William there as early as 1838. There is however, no record of him in the 1840 or 1850 WV census. Do any of you have any record of this William in your databases in North Carolina between 1810 and 1830 or in Virginia prior to 1850? Sure would appreciate any help or suggestions. Regards, Mike Barefield mbarefield59@cox.net
