Barbara, a daughter of Valentine and Anna Maria Catherine (Oberlin) Pence, was born in 1748 and died in November 1829 in Pendleton County VA. Barbara married 1st to George Frederick Propst & 2nd to Jacob Conrad (2nd wife). There is no primary evidence for her 1st marriage or of her birth.

Disputed Origins

She Is seen as daughter of Marx Swadley, Sr. & Catren Catherine Swadley.

A stronger argument is made for her as a Pence child. See:

“Barbara Propst, the wife of George Frederick Propst.” by Jeff Carr

”George Frederick Propst was the son of John Michael and Catherine Elizabeth Propst; his wife was clearly named Barbara. I am writing this because several people have asked for verification of my assertion that Barbara Propst was a daughter of Valentine and Maria Catherine (Oberlin) Pence. Prior to this, researchers (most of whom are Swadley descendants) have believed that she was Barbara Swadley, a daughter of Mark and Catherine Swadley. It is unclear where began the notion that she was a Swadley; Oren Morton did not identify any maiden name for Barbara in his History of Pendleton County, WV; I will discuss this further in item #9. What follows is a combination of facts, circumstantial evidence, logic, and debate. ....” http://family.beacondeacon.com/Barbara-Propst-wife-of-George-Freder...
