Served in the 5th Virginia Regiment as E

Served in the 5th Virginia Regiment as Ensign & Lt under George Washington from the VA magazine of history vol2 pg250 relinquished the rights to his land to William Arthur of Wilkes County Ga There are two marriage dates for this couple. the one shown and 26 May 1755 William Arthur was Surety on this listed marriage. After the death or before the death of Barnabus, his family has moved to Georgia. Son Mathew sells 504 acres on Flat creek. Mathew is listed as resident of Georgia. Rev war patriot, There apparently were two Barnabuses. Look at the other Barnabus who was here about the same time and you will see a cross link on Marriages. This Barnabus was supposed to be married to Martha Talbot and Nancy Williamson. The other Barnabus was supposed to be married to Elizabeth and Nancy Williamson. One or the other is incorrect as far as second wife, but is likely OK as a person who exists.

According to Will of Barnabas (4th child

According to Will of Barnabas (4th child of John & Rebecca of Goose creek) his wife was Nancy; from Bedford Cnty Deeds we find a Barnabas with a wife named Elizabeth who was still living in 1802. It is believed by some that Barnabus married 2nd to Nancy Williamson, 3 Jan 1811 as per marriage rec of Bedford Cnty Va. Others have stated that his second wife was Nancy Clayton. Nor proof either claims, so all that can be stated for sure is that Barnabas was married first to Elizabeth who died after 1802 and them married second to Nancy. Since there are numerous Barnabas Arthurs around Bedford, Campbell, and Franklin Counties at the same time, making it very difficult.
