- 16 Oct 2002.
- I updated the researcher list
with several new researchers - Welcome Aboard! Barbara B. Johnson noted that
in the descendants of John and Eliza (Shillingburg)
Barnhouse there was an error made regarding their son, William. It was
incorrectly recorded that William L. Barnhouse was the son of John and Eliza (Shillingburg)
Barnhouse and that William F. Barnhouse was their son, instead. This was based
upon Civil War records which document William's siblings. This has been
updated.
- 3 July 2002.
- It has been a long time since I updated this site ... it
has been a crazy year. I've added so much information since the 13 Mar, that

Christopher Barnhouse descendency with information from Audrey Franklin.
Thanks Audrey! Also updated the researcher's
list with new email addresses. Made a significant correction to the
descendency of Henry and Matilda (Yost) Barnhouse concerning their daughter
Lavinia J. Barnhouse. She married Gudlow H. Broyles in 1854 in Grant Co., IN
and was living with him in 1880. She did not, apparently, marry anyone
by the name Thomas Haught in Marion Co., Virginia in 1857. Please
correct your databases, or drop me a line if you disagree, etc. Thanks to
Nancy Gates for alerting us to this discrepancy!

bible verifies birth dates of the children of Philip and Mary (Goff) Barnhouse
and adds some children that we didn't know that they had! I'm still analyzing
Richard and Jean Barnhouse descendants of St. Mary's Co., MD. Does anyone have
census records for Caleb Barnhouse in 1800, 1810 or 1820? I need Loudoun Co.,
VA early censuses for Barnhouse, too (1784-1830).

(BARNHOUSE) HICKS, born 1880 to the Most Wanted List.
- 23 May 1998.
- Letter from Kay Barnhouse Stout received. Among other items,
she states in the letter (quote): "I can now identify 3 (three) separate
[Barnhouse] lines in Jefferson, Harrison & Carroll. No. 1
are Christoph & his children - George, John, Julianna, Peter & Susannah, and
their children. No. 2 - there is Francis from Harford
Co./Baltimore, Maryland area & his children & related family members,
allegedly from England and possibly descendents of the English sea captain
Richard of Jamestown VA circa 1630s; and No. 3 - Jacob & wife
Sarah Capper from Hampshire Co., VW/WV . . . Also, after at least 20 years of
trying to sort out the Loudoun Co., VA Barnhouses who have been or are
currently living in Loudoun Co., I believe I can safely say that they are
descendents of the Harford Co. / Baltimore bunch NOT the Hessians! . . . Back
to the erroneous info . . . the Margaret who married Daniel SIMMONS
would be the Widow of Christoph & Rosina's son John who died. I now
have deeds to support this (there were 3 marriages for Margaret Barnhouses in
that area in 1820 & 1830 all 3 different people). Christoph's
Jacob & the Jacob who married Sarah Capper are two different people!"
