                143     iii.    William A. BAREFOOT was born 28 March 1871 in Silvercreek Township, Greene County, Ohio and died in 1903 at age 32 in that county. He was buried in Jamestown Cemetery, Silvercreek Township, Greene County.  William married Mary MAXON 8 September 1898 in Greene County.  Mary was born in September 1878 in Silvercreek Township, the daughter of William and Adaline Maxon.  William and Mary had a daughter Vivian born 9 July 1899 in Jamestown, Greene County.

 

     30.  Levi4 BAREFOOT (William3, Benjamin2, Samuel1) was born 5 October 1827 in Leacock Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and baptized 6 September 1828 in St. James Episcopal Church, Lancaster. He died after 1900, likely in Blair County, Pennsylvania where he was found in the 1900 federal census, age 73, a boarder in the home of Henry Reffner in Hollidaysburg.

     Levi married first Mary Ann MCNITT circa 1854 in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania. Mary Ann was born in March 1835, the daughter of Robert and Martha McNitt. She died 21 December 1860 at age 25. Mary may have died in Missouri as she, Levi and their two sons were enumerated in Sullivan County in that state in the 1860 federal census recorded September 11th. Levi was working as a farmhand and living with the family was merchant Cavil M. Freeman, age 28, born in Illinois, and his Missouran wife Margaret, age 18, and son William H., age 1.  However, since Mary was buried in Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Mifflin County, the family obviously returned to Pennsylvania. Confirming that fact is son William Ross Barefoot’s biography which states that he attended district schools in Armagh Township, Mifflin County until the age of nine (1864) when he went with his father to Illinois. It is in that state that Levi married Martha J. BROWN 2 February 1865 in Montgomery County.  Martha was born in June 1834 in North Carolina and in the 1860 federal census  was found in Greenville, Bond County, Illinois with her siblings and mother Sarah who ran a boarding house. It is perhaps at the boarding house that Levi and Martha met since the counties of Bond and Montgomery are adjacent. In 1870 Levi, Martha and family resided in Little Rock, Kendall County, Illinois in the northern part of the state one county removed from Cook County and the city of Chicago. Levi worked in a factory. By 1880 Levi had moved his family once again and was found in the federal census for that year in Marseille, La Salle County, the county southwest of Kendall. Here he worked as a carpenter. As mentioned previously, Levi returned to Pennsylvania by 1900 where he was found in the census in Blair County. His wife Martha, however, was living in Chicago in that year and her marital status was given as ‘widow.’ She was shown as having had five children, four still living, and was running a boarding house. She died in Chicago 4 September 1906 at age 72.

     Known children of Levi4 BAREFOOT and Mary Ann MCNITT were as follows:

          +    144      i.    William Ross5 BAREFOOT, born 18 January 1855 in Armagh Township, Mifflin County, Pennsylvania; married Mary STERRETT.

                145      ii.    Robert W. BAREFOOT was born circa 1857 in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania. He appeared on the federal census of 1870 at age 13 in Old Armagh Township, Mifflin County, Pennsylvania enumerated in the household of Hiram and Nancy McClenahan. He was also enumerated in that year, along with his brother William, in the household of his grandfather Robert McNitt in New Armagh Township.  In the 1880 federal census Robert was a grocery store clerk in Ottawa, LaSalle County, Illinois.  He is a very good candidate (although not proven) for the Barefoot who married Emma YOHN circa 1887. This Emma was likely the Emma J. Yohn, daughter of John and Kate Yohn, in Madison Township, Perry County, Pennsylvania in the 1880 census. Perry County is located very close to Mifflin County, where Robert was born and raised. But, more persuasive is the fact that Robert was living, single, in 1880 in LaSalle County, Illinois, which borders Bureau County where Emma Yohn Barefoot eventually lived after remarrying. Emma, and perhaps Robert, had at least two children, and likely three since the 1910 federal census has her as giving birth to six children, all still living. (She is known to have had three daughters with her second husband.) Her sons were William C. Barefoot, born in August 1888 in Pennsylvania, per the 1900 census, and John W. Barefoot, born March 1891 in Pennsylvania, per the 1900 census. (In the 1910 census Will C. Barefoot gives his place of birth as Pennsylvania; John W. Barefoot is not found in that census. In the 1920 census John gives his place of birth as Illinois and in 1930 as Pennsylvania) The father of the two Barefoot boys died before circa 1898 when Emma married Sylvester M. Clary, born April 1862 in Indiana. It was also Sylvester’s second marriage and he had children Harry S., Maud M. and Johnie S., all born in Illinois, by his first marriage. In 1900 Sylvester, Emma, Harry, Maud, Johnie, William C. Barefoot and John W. Barefoot lived in Bureau, Bureau County, Illinois. The family, minus William and John, was still in that location in 1910. A Will C. Barefoot, age 21, born in Pennsylvania as were his parents, was in the 1910 federal census, a student at Valparaiso University in Porter County, Indiana. He was not found in subsequent censuses and apparently died. John W. Barefoot was not found in the 1910 census but in 1920 was married for two years to Ethel. This was Ethel Verna LUDWIG, born 24 November 1893, daughter of Michael W. and Ida E. (Hummel) Ludwig of Ballville, Sandusky County, Ohio. John and Ethel have a daughter Zada Lou, age 1. The family was in Dalhart, Dallam County, Texas in 1920. Also in that county, but in Justice Precinct 2, were Sylvester and Emma Clary and their two daughters Marie M., age 15, and Gladys J., age 12. By 1930 both families had moved on to Butte County, California. Sylvester and Emma were in Chico with granddaughter Betty J. Harris, age 6, born in Texas. John W. Barefoot and Ethel V. H. were in Oroville with daughters Zada Lou, Evelyn J., age 9, and Juanita R., age 7, all born in Texas. California Death Records 1940-1997 show that John W. Barefoot died 11 April 1958 in Butte County, California. His date of birth was given as 14 March 1891 and place of birth as Ohio, incorrectly. Ethel Verna Barefoot died 31 January 1986 in Kern County, California.

     Known children of Levi4 BAREFOOT and Martha J. BROWN, all born in Illinois, were as follows:

                146       i.    John Brown5 BAREFOOT was born circa 1867. He was also known as Brown per the 1870 census.

                147      ii.    Jennie BAREFOOT was born in October 1874 according to the 1900 federal census, which also gave her age as 25. However she appeared in the 1870 census, age 1, making her birth year circa 1869.

          +    148     iii.    George Edward BAREFOOT, born July 1876; married Mary [--?--]; married Laura Jean [--?--].

                149      iv.    Frank BAREFOOT was born in August 1879.  He died 3 March 1940 in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, at age 60. Frank resided in Chicago his entire adult life, working as a shop clerk in 1900, a machinist in an auto shop in 1910 and a metal stamper for a drop forger in 1930. He never married.

 

     33.  William4 BAREFOOT (William3, Benjamin2, Samuel1) was born 12 May 1838 in Huntington County, Pennsylvania and died 13 January 1911 in Victoria, Victoria County, Texas at age 72. He had gone to Victoria to try to recover his health from illness contracted during his service in the Civil War.

     William was a private in Captain William T. McEwen's Company C, 44th Regiment, 1st  Pennsylvania Cavalry. In William's pension file he was variously reported to have enlisted in Company C in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in August 1861; Reedville, Pennsylvania 1 August 1861, and Lewistown, Pennsylvania 4 July 1861.  The files say he was discharged in December 1862.  According to History of Pennsylvania Volunteers, 1861-1865,  Vol. 1, page 1032, he was mustered into service 10 August 1861 for a three year term, but was discharged on a surgeon's certificate 31 October 1862.

     According to a Certificate of Disability for Discharge, William was 5'5' tall, with fair complexion, blue eyes, and dark hair.   His medical discharge was due to dyspepsia, chronic diarrhea with ulceration of the bowels and general disability.

     William's Declaration for Pension was completed and notarized 20 February 1907 in Hillsborough County, Florida, where he very possibly went for his health.  Signing as witnesses were W. L. Blackburn and Martha J. Blackburn, residents of Hillsboro, Illinois, who indicated that they had been acquainted with the claimant for 40 years and 25 years respectively.

     William, a dentist, married Margaret Alice TOOHEY 21 February 1866 in Montgomery County, Illinois.  Margaret was born circa 1838 in England and died before 1876 in Illinois. She and William had no children. He then likely married Eliza Taylor who was born circa 1840 in Alabama and after she died, childless, he married her younger sister Louisa Scott TAYLOR, who was born circa 1847 in Selma, Dallas County, Alabama.  Louisa died before 1880 in Montgomery County, Illinois.  Eliza’s and Louisa’s father was J. or I Taylor, a druggist, and their mother E. Ann Taylor, born circa 1811 in Virginia. A sister of Eliza and Louisa was Mary M., born circa 1837 in Alabama. Mary married John H. Dainwood, born circa 1833 in Tennessee, a carpenter and joiner, and in the 1860 census they were enumerated, with their daughter Minnie, age 1, in the boarding house operated by Mary's, Eliza’s and Louise’s mother E. Ann Taylor. Also in the household in 1860 were Eliza Taylor, age 20, and Louisa Taylor, age 12. In the 1870 federal census Ann Taylor, age 59, and Scottie Taylor [Louisa], age 23, were in the household of John and Mary Dainwood and their children Anna, age 9; Flora, age 7; Adolphus, age 3, and William, age 1. In 1880 Louisa’s mother, and her sister Mary's daughter Anna Dainwood, were enumerated in the household of William Barefoot in Litchfield, Illinois. Louisa was deceased and William was a widower. (Anna Dainwood was also enumerated in 1880 in the household of her family in Alabama although the censuses for Illinois and Alabama were enumerated within five days of each other. Likely her parents listed her with them although she was not physically in the home at that time).

     William married last Annie F. ARMSTRONG circa 1889 in Illinois. Anna was born in December 1857 in Pennsylvania and as a young girl resided in Gibbons Glade, Fayette County. She died 11 July 1937 in Montgomery County, Illinois at age 79. Anna may have had a marriage previous to that with William.

     Known children of William4 BAREFOOT and Louisa Scott TAYLOR were as follows:

          +   150       i.    Bertha M.5 BAREFOOT, born March 1877 in Litchfield, Montgomery County, Illinois; married Charles Owen RICHARDS.

                151      ii.    Carl Taylor BAREFOOT was born 16 December 1878 in Illinois.  He died 26 October 1918 in Litchfield, Montgomery County, Illinois, at age 39. Carl was enumerated as Carlos in the 1800 census.  According to one source, Carl/Carlos/Chick married Cora KINDER some time before 1904 but the marriage ended in divorce.

     Known children of William4 BAREFOOT and Annie F. ARMSTRONG were:

                152       i.    Ralph5 BAREFOOT was born in February 1890 in Illinois.  He died 10 December 1917 in Litchfield, Montgomery County, Illinois, at age 27. He was also known as William per the1900 federal census.

                165      ii.    Daniel R. CAMERON was born in 1847 in Fairfield County, Ohio.  He died 7 August 1925 in Hancock County, Ohio and was buried in Keller Cemetery in that county. Daniel may be the Daniel Cameron, miner, age 32, born in Ohio who was enumerated in the 1880 federal census in Silver City, Custer County, Colorado. He appeared on the census of 1910 in Frankfort, Clinton County, Indiana, and by 1920 was in Findlay, Hancock County, Ohio working as a watchman for the railroad.

          +    166    iii.    Isabelle Mae CAMERON, born 19 June 1852 in Eagle Township, Hancock County, Ohio; married John Wesley ELSEA.

                167      iv.    Anna E.

Her age was given as 59 [it should actually be 69] and she was a widow. There was an Alice Doty, age 49, in the 1920 census, wife of J.L. Doty, age 63, and mother of Inez S. Doty, age 24. Inez was a school teacher and J.L. was a retail merchant of groceries. This is likely the correct Alice although, again, her age was given as 10 years younger than it should be. Alice was in the 1870 census, age 10, or born circa 1860, so perhaps she was reluctant to give her real age to census enumerators.

                171    viii.    William CAMERON, Jr., was born in May 1863 in Eagle Township, Hancock County, Ohio.  He died 14 October 1863 in Eagle Township and was buried in Keller Cemetery in that township.

In the census for that year their daughter Mary was enumerated as head of household with her siblings Clara, Edward and Eldora residing with her on South Fifth Street in Columbia, Lancaster County.

     45.  Samuel Ross4 BAREFOOT (Job Palmer3, Benjamin2, Samuel1) was born 3 March 1830 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.  He died 23 March 1890 in Cambridge City, Wayne County, Indiana, at age 60 and was buried in Riverside Cemetery, Cambridge City. According to his headstone Samuel died March 25, 1890 and this date was recorded in county records.  His death certificate, however, says March 23.  Newspaper accounts give his age at death as 60 years and 22 days which, when added to his date of birth, would make March 25 correct. The cause of death was listed on his death certificate as rheumatism. According to his obituary, he developed inflammatory rheumatism which was 'most severe in the regions of the heart.'

     Samuel was a wagon maker by trade in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and upon coming to Wayne County, Indiana, in 1858 followed that occupation for some time. He then bought and shipped horses to Philadelphia, and later established a carriage factory in Germantown which he operated for about three years. Selling his interest in the carriage factory, he sold Adams Queen Washing Machines for a time, and for four years was in the hotel business. Next he sold monuments for J.J. McCarty, then started a poultry business in partnership with A. W. Bradbury. The partnership dissolved but Samuel continued in business as owner of Barefoot Poultry and Egg Company until his death.

     According to a newspaper obituary (source unknown), Samuel came to East Germantown, Wayne County, Indiana, in the fall of 1853, and remained about 18 months before returning to Pennsylvania where he married Barbara ARMSTRONG, daughter of John and Mary (Helm) Armstrong, November 25, 1855. The couple returned to Indiana, locating in Dublin, Wayne County.  After a year they moved to Milton where they lived for three years [1861-1864].  The two years following were spent in Pennville [1864-66], followed by three years in Germantown [1866-69].  They moved to Cambridge City in April 1869, where they resided the remainder of their lives.  For eight years Samuel was a general agent for a Cambridge City manufacturing company, then he ran the 'Keystone House' hotel, located at the corner of Jones and National Roads.  He left the hotel and in 1877 engaged in poultry shipping.  He appeared on the census of 1860 in Dublin Township, Wayne County, Indiana and on the census of 1880 in Cambridge City, Wayne County, Indiana.

     Samuel’s wife Barbara was born 28 March 1835 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.  She died in the Foote Street, Cambridge City home of son Earl Barefoot on 25 February 1937 at age 101, and was buried in Riverside Cemetery. The cause of death was influenza and senility (old age).  According to her obituary, at the time of her death Barbara was the oldest mother in Wayne County, Indiana, and had been given wide recognition since her ninetieth birthday.  A newspaper article on the occasion of her 98th birthday described her as follows:  'Regular living habits help to maintain her excellent health.  She retires at 8 p.m. and arises at 7 o'clock in the morning.  In the afternoon she naps for two hours.  She likes fruits and vegetables and is especially fond of grapefruit.  Her daughter makes custards for her frequently because they are a favorite dessert.  Her eyesight is poor but her hearing is very good. She listens regularly to Lowell Thomas on the radio and likes to hear the Eddie Cantor program.'

     Known children of Samuel Ross4 BAREFOOT and Barbara ARMSTRONG were as follows:

          +    193      i.    Walter Augustus5 BAREFOOT, born 23 July 1857 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania; married Anna Elizabeth LEWELLEN.

                194      ii.    John Herbert BAREFOOT was born 12 April 1859 in Strasburg, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.  He died of consumption (tuberculosis) on 1 December 1890 in Cambridge City, Wayne County, Indiana at age 31, and was buried 4 December 1890 in Riverside Cemetery, Cambridge City.  John married Mary Ann DOLAN 19 July 1889 in Cambridge City. Mary Ann was born 22 August 1859 in Economy, Wayne County, Indiana.  Her father, Martin Dolan, emigrated to the United States from Ireland in 1850. Her mother was Bridget Weiss. After John’s death Mary Ann married second Peter DODDY 14 January 1903 in Wayne County.  She died 8 August 1924 in Wayne County at age 64 and was buried 11 August 1924 in Riverside Cemetery.

                195     iii.    William Barton BAREFOOT was born 8 January 1862 in Cambridge City, Wayne County, Indiana and died 15 July 1954 in Muncie, Delaware County, Indiana at age 92.  He was buried 17 July 1954 in Riverside Cemetery, Cambridge City, Wayne County, Indiana. William took over the Barefoot Poultry and Egg Company upon his father Samuel's death in 1890.  In 1897 William purchased the poultry business of A. W. Bradbury (Samuel's former partner) and consolidated it with his own company.  The business operated in the Richmond and Cowan, Indiana areas. It was the largest business of its kind when under William's management.  His trade was exclusively wholesale with markets chiefly in Boston, New York City and Philadelphia.  Between four and five thousand chickens and turkeys were crated and sent East each week.  William was a member of the Masons and Knights of Pythias, and for two years served on the Cambridge City Common Council.  He was the owner of Single G, a world famous pacer voted by leading horsemen in 1950 as the 'greatest pacer of the first half of the 20th century.'  Single G, foaled in 1910, took part in 434 heats, winning 262 and placing in 418.  He established a number of records, including the first pacer to win a race in which three consecutive heats were all paced in 2:00 or better; the first horse to win a race with three consecutive heats averaging 2:00 or better, and the first horse to pace two heats in 1:59 or better in the same race.  Single G's greatness stemmed from the fact that he not only was very fast, but he was also one of the most durable campaigners in American turf history.  He spent 14 years in active racing, campaigning against the greatest pacers in the world until 1925.  In 1923, when he was 13 years old, he set his record of 1:58 1/2.  He was completely sound when he retired, and lived until he was 30.  Single G died in 1940 at the farm of Float Jolly near Tipton, Tipton County, Indiana, and was buried there.  Float Jolly was the husband of Emma Binkley, William's cousin.  In 1951 Single G's remains were moved to land donated near the entrance of the old Cambridge City fair grounds on State Route 1.  A granite monument marks his gravesite. Long a bachelor, at age 61 William married Grace M. DRISCHEL around 1923 in Cambridge City. Grace was born 15 May 1880 in Jackson Township, Wayne County, Indiana, the daughter of Jacob and Anna (Smith) Drischel.  She died 24 February 1950 at age 69. The cause of death was asphyxia by hanging; no autopsy was conducted.  According to her death record, Grace "hanged self in door way" of her home at 313 West Front Street in Cambridge City.  Recording of her death was delayed by the coroner from its occurrence until 4 April 1960, no doubt because an investigation was necessary due to the unusual nature of her death.  It was said by family members that Grace committed suicide when police became suspicious that she was slowly poisoning her husband William and came to her house to confront her, but this story has not been confirmed.  Grace was buried 27 February 1950 in Riverside Cemetery.

Young. Her father was a saloonkeeper in Cambridge City.  Estelle died 28 June 1972 in Cambridge City at age 84 and was buried in Riverside Cemetery.

His obituary said he was born in Londonderry Township, Chester County, one mile southeast of Cochranville.  However, his family was living in Lancaster County when the 1840 and 1850 federal censuses were enumerated.  William died at his home in Lancaster County 4 September 1904 at age 62.  He was buried 7 September 1904 in Mount Bethel Cemetery, Columbia, Lancaster County.

     William went to Wayne County Indiana some time after 1860 as a salesman of agricultural implements. In the 1868 Wayne County Indiana Directory he was listed as residing in East Germantown and his profession was ‘washing machine’.  His brother Samuel Ross Barefoot, who resided in Wayne County at that time, was known to have sold Adams Queen Washing Machines, and William likely also was engaged as a salesman with that company.  On 20 January 1870 in Dublin, Wayne County William married Martha L. ARMSTRONG, daughter of John Armstrong and Mary Helm, and sister of Barbara Armstrong, wife of Samuel Ross Barefoot, William’s brother.  In the 1870 federal census, enumerated in August of that year, William and Martha were in the household of Martha’s brother Elam Armstrong in Liberty Township, Shelby County, Indiana. The couple returned to Pennsylvania in late 1870 and settled in Columbia, Lancaster County.

     In Pennsylvania William was employed as a brakeman for the Pennsylvania Railroad and was promoted after three years to flagman.  Two years later he was named freight conductor.  An article in the Columbia Spy dated 23 November 1872 stated:  ‘Injured On the Railroad - William Barefoot, a brother of Joseph [sic – should be Job] Barefoot of Columbia, was injured near Bryn Mawr, on the Penn'a R.R., on Wednesday evening. Barefoot is a brakeman, and in trying to couple some cars which had broken loose, had his foot badly crushed, and the flesh stripped from the calf of his leg. He was brought to Columbia on Thursday, and is doing as well as can be expected.’ Another blurb from the Columbia Spy dated 2 April 1887 stated: ‘Mr. William Barefoot, a conductor on the Pennsylvania Railroad, jumped off a freight car and sprained his arms and legs.’
