Wiliam George Barber

=======================================

William George Barber was born October 19, 1801 in Chester, South Carolina. He was the son of John Barber and Mary Agnew Barber. He was the last and eighth child born to this couple.

He married Elizabeth Ann (Annie) Neil in York County, South Carolina. They had ten children.

His date of death on his tombstone is incorrect. He actually died, frozen in a snow bank, on Christmas Day in 1869. He was found the next morning. This was told to me [MJ] by his granddaughter Mary Barber Barrett that passed away in 1987. There is a news paper account of the incident in the Yorkville paper.
