BARBER-TAYLOR Although Robert Barber, head of the Lan- caster county branch of the Barbers of Pennsylvania, is the progenitor of the Bar- ber family herein recorded, the family history in Pennsylvania properly begins with his uncle, Robert Barber, of Chester, Pennsylvania, who came to the province in 1687. He was a member of the Society of Friends and soon became prominent in the Chester Meeting. He was one of the committee appointed to supervise the building of the first meeting house in Chester, and was married in that meeting, in 1690. He was cordwainer (shoemaker) and worked at his trade for several

years, also cultivated land which he purchased from time to time in and around Chester. He married Hannah Ogden, and died without issue in 1709, his will being probated October 2, of that year. By its pro- visions much of his property was left to his nephew, Robert Barber, son of his brother, John, whom he had brought from England and taught his trade.
(I) Robert Barber, son of John Barber, of Yorkshire, England, and nephew of Robert Barber, of Chester, came to Pennsylvania to join his uncle about the year 1699, as an apprentice to the shoemaking trade. He inherited a large share of his uncle's estate and soon took the latter's place in public and religious affairs. He actively entered politics at an early day. He was defeated for the office of sheriff in 1719, but in 1721 was elected coroner of Chester county. In 1724 he was elected a member of the board of assessors of the county, and, while acting in this capacity, and on duty in Conestoga township, he discovered an attractive tract of land on the Susquehanna that he after- ward purchased. In 1726 he took up five hundred acres on the eastern bank of the river, above where the city of Columbia now stands. This tract was conveyed to him by purchase, August 19, 1726, by the agent of the proprietors. In 1728 he settled on this tract and built his resi- dence just below the present site of Columbia, and on May 8, 1729, he was appointed first sheriff of Lancaster county. He was reap- pointed in October of that year, but was not a candidate the following year, Lancaster having been made a county seat, much to his disap- pointment. He was for many years prominent in Lancaster county affairs, warmly espoused the cause of the Penns in Cresap's war, although he did not bear arms, being a member of the Society of Friends. In his latter years he dropped out of public notice, and was occupied in the support and care of his large family. He died in Co- lumbia, September, 1749, aged about fifty-seven years. He is buried in the old Columbia cemetery, which was called in early days the "Brick graveyard," because enclosed by a wall built with bricks brought from England. Being a Friend, his grave was unmarked, and now all trace is lost.
He married, in Chester Meeting, 5 mo. 17, 1718, Hannah, daughter of William Tidmarsh. Children: Eleanor, born 11 mo. 1, 1719, mar- ried John Wright; John, 8 mo. 13, 1720, married Mary -; Robert,

(II) Lieutenant Robert (2) Barber, son of Sheriff Robert (1) Barber, of Columbia, was born in Chester, Pennsylvania, 10 mo. 10. 1722, died October 4, 1782. He was lieutenant of the first company formed in Hempfield township, Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, in 1775. This company was captained by James Barber. Samuel Bar- ber was second lieutenant, and John Barber private, all brothers. Lieu- tenant Robert Barber took the oath of allegiance to the state of Penn- sylvania in Hempfield township, July 1, 1777. He received sixty acres from his mother and built the brick house in Columbia on the same plot on which his father's house formerly stood. This house was built in 1763, and it was there that the "Paxtang Boys" stopped on their re- turn from their crime of murdering inoffensive, friendly Indians. In 1890 the house was occupied as an office by the Susquehanna Iron Company and by the superintendent as a dwelling.
Lieutenant Barber married, 9 mo. 26, 1746, Sarah, daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth (Wright) Taylor, of Tinicum Island, Pennsyl- vania. She was born 12 mo. 3, 1729, died October 6. 1793. Children : I.

county, Pennsylvania, November 27, 1841. He took the oath of allegi- ance to the state of Pennsylvania in Hempfield township, July 1, 1777. In 1785 he moved, in company with his brother Thomas, to Northum- berland (now Union) county, Pennsylvania, and in that year was taxed on four horses, two cows and five hundred acres of land. He had owned this land prior to coming to take possession and it is likely it was purchased for him and his brothers by their father, Lieutenant Robert Barber. "In the fall (of 1772) Robert Barber, Esq. built the first house on the White Springs tract of which we have any knowl- edge, as he recites-in a lease dated August 9, 1773, to John Scott, that he leased him the house he had built last fall at the head of White Springs, for seven years. It was on the Edward Lee warrantee which Barber had purchased in August from Reuben Haine." This was the tract upon which Robert (3) Barber settled in 1785. The old log house, built in 1772, was the first built in Buffalo Valley, and is still standing, although it has been moved from its original position about one hundred yards, and has been covered with weather boards. It is about twenty by twenty-five feet in size, with a large stone chimney that occupies nearly the entire width of one end. In 1791 Robert (3) Barber built a saw mill on his farm on White Spring Run, and in 1797 he built a grist mill on the same stream. In 1805 and 1806, in part- nership with Solomon Heise, of Columbia, he built the largest flouring mill in the country on Penn's creek and also a saw mill. He occupied his farm for fifty-six years and served as justice of the peace for Buf- falo township many years, having been commissioned November 29, 1792. "Squire" Barber was a man of great force of character and exercised a strong influence among the first settlers.
He married, September 23, 1775, Sarah, born in Columbia, Penn- sylvania, May 19, 1754, daughter of Dr. Samuel and Mary (Bethel) Boude. Children : I. John, died in infancy. 2.

It is thought that he married the daughter of a comrade, perhaps from his part of their native land.

HISTORY OF THE JUNIATA VALLEY
(I) William Sheaffer, a descendant of the immigrant, lived and died in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. There is little that this gen- eration knows of him except that he was a prosperous farmer and lived and died on his farm. Among his children was William Sheaf- fer, of whom further.
(II) William Sheaffer, son of William Sheaffer, was born in 1809, in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, and died in 1851. He left Lan- caster county when a young man and went to Bellville, Pennsylvania, and engaged in the wool business with a Mr. Gibbony, he being the buyer for the firm. Here he remained seven years. At the expiration of that time he bought a farm in Shirley township, Huntingdon county, and remained on it until his death. He was a good farmer, energetic, industrious and frugal, and accumulated a competency. He married Mary Anne Hinds, born October 25, 1807, in Decatur township, Mif- flin county, Pennsylvania, and died May 12, 1879; she was the daugh- ter of Stephen and Mary (Lee) Hinds, who were married November 4, 1793. He was of straight English descent, and was born in Little Britain, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, and when a young man moved to Mifflin county, where his wife was born. She was a member of the famous Lee family of New England, and was distantly connected with the Lee family of Virginia. After the death of her husband, April 7, 1838, she continued to live on the farm. Children of Mr. and Mrs. Hinds: James, born June 11, 1795, died August 7, 1795; Ra- chel, born August I, 1796, died 1850, married Mr. Sigler; William, born December 17, 1798, died March 28, 1820; Elizabeth, born De- cember 29, 1800, died February 25, 1840, married Mr. Miller, of Mif- flin county ; John, born January 30, 1803, died April 16, 1845; Sarah, born October 30, 1805, died November 17, 1806; Mary Anne, married William Sheaffer; Sarah, born November 1, 1810, married Mr. Sims, of Lewistown, Pennsylvania; Stephen Andrew, born November 30, 1812, died October 31, 1867, lived in Mifflin county; Isabella, born September 24, 1816, died in Ohio, married Mr. Hamilton.

deceased, married T. C. Van Zant, of Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania.
(III) William T. Sheaffer, son of William and Mary Anne ( Hinds) Sheaffer, was born March 7, 1845, in Shirley township, Huntingdon county, Pennsylvania. He was reared on his father's farm, and attended the public schools in Germany Valley, after which he ma- triculated at the Shirleysburg Academy, receiving instruction from Rev. Mr. Sheaffer. His father died when he was four years old, and after he left school the home farm was sold. Mr. Sheaffer decided on dentistry as his profession, and entered the Philadelphia Dental College, from which he graduated with degree of D. D. S. His first trial at dentistry was in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, where he was assistant to Dr. Roher for a short while. Looking over the field he decided to try Mt. Union, Pennsylvania, and there established an office, where from the first he had a large and increasing practice for twenty- five years. The sedentary life impaired his health, and after much thought, pro and con, he relinquished his practice, and gave up his office and began contracting on a large scale. In this line of endeavor he contracted for the building of railroads, public highways, etc. Be- fore giving up his profession of dentistry he had bought the River Bottom farm near Mt. Union, and is now the owner of four farms, while his wife owns two, in all aggregating over one thousand highly fertile acres. On April 1, 1913, he added the old Fretchy place, in Smithfield township, Huntingdon county, to his land holdings. There are two hundred and twenty acres in it. He has improved it wonder- fully and at the present time makes his home on it. It is one of the handsomest country places in Huntingdon county, and here he enter- tains lavishly his friends, with the assistance of his wife, in true Penn- sylvania style.
Both Dr. Sheaffer and his wife are members of the Pres- byterian church. He is a Democrat and has served as school director. He assisted in organizing the Grange Trust Company of Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, and was elected its first vice-president, and at the present time he is president of that financially sound insti- tution. He is connected with the Mt. Union Land Company, and has other important moneyed interests. Dr. Sheaffer is one of the first citizens of Huntingdon county, ranking among the leading representa- tives of its industrial interests and commercial strength. In his busi-
IO26
HISTORY OF THE JUNIATA VALLEY
ness dealings he is scrupulously exact, and his merited success has come to him as the result of foresight, executive ability and keen dis- crimination, combined with a courtly, polished manner, which won for him many patrons in the days when he practiced dentistry.
He married, February 25, 1875, Narcissa Shaver, born March 15, 1845, at Mt. Union, Pennsylvania, daughter of William and Catherine (Wallace) Shaver. Children: I. Mary, born January 10, 1876, mar- ried Thomas Kurtz. 2. Alexander Hinds, born September 17, 1877, married Hattie Yokum; dealer in real estate in Spokane, Washington. 3.

(The Shaver Line).
Narcissa (Shaver) Sheaffer descends from a long line of splendid colonial ancestry on both the paternal and distaff sides. The immi- grant ancestor of the Shaver family came from Germany to the Prov- ince of Virginia while that colony was yet in its swaddling clothes. He settled on the James River, some distance from the colonial capital, Jamestown, became a tobacco planter, and accumulated a large amount of this world's goods. He was a highly educated man and used his knowledge for the benefit of his neighbors as well as himself in turn- ing to account the natural resources of the country, especially his botanical lore. Among his descendants was Nicholas, of whom fur- ther.
(I) Nicholas Shaver, a descendant of the immigrant of the name, was born in the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, and here lived and died. Among his children was Nicholas Jr., of whom further.
(II) Nicholas Shaver Jr., son of Nicholas Shaver, was born in the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia. He moved from his native colony to Pennsylvania, before 1785, as he purchased, May 24, 1785, a farm in Shirley township, Huntingdon county, Pennsylvania, where he located, lived and died. He was the earliest settler in the township and had no neighbors except those miles distant. He bought part of his land from the original owners, the Indians, giving them a fair price for

Union. He was reared on his father's tobacco plantation, in the chivalrous atmosphere of his native colony, and was there educated. It is said of him that he was a most perfect type of a southern gentleman. He moved to Pennsyl- vania about 1784 and located at Oughwick Mills, Shirley township. Huntingdon county. In 1802 he changed his place of abode to what is now known as Mt. Union, the same county. He was one of the larg- est land owners in the county and one of its most progressive men. He erected a large store house on the present site of Mt. Union. At one time the Shavers and their relatives, about seventy in number, counting the children, and their connections through marriages with Messrs. Booher, Snyder and Ricketts, owned one continuous line of farms about five miles in length, extending from the Juniata river at the bend, where the creosoting plant is now located, up through Hill Valley, very near where the Brewster tannery stood.
