"Barber cemetery; Catlin twp., Chemung Co., N.Y.
Over the other side of the mountain west of Millport. To get to the place, go up the Johnson Hollow rd. to the school house, turn right on a dirt road over 2 miles then nearly a mile through the fields.
This cemetery is very old, abandoned years ago and all grown to briers and brush. From 35 to 40 persons are buried there, very few of the graves were ever marked. It was a family plot for the Barbers, but later became a Community burial ground. This information was furnished by Mr. C. Sleeper, who has the family history written out in full, also the same was told by a resident of Milport.
Dr. Reuben Barber is buried in this cemetery. There was a marker long ago to his grave. He was a soldier of the Rev. and had 3 enlistments in the Continentel army. He was a guard and stood at the scaffold, when Maj. John Andre, a British army officer, was hanged as a spy at Tappentown Oct. 2, 1780. Dr. Barber also was a soldier in 1812. He died in 1845.
His wife was an Indian woman. Her maiden name was Hannah Chegunsands. She (next few words are crossed out). They had 3 children-Patience, James and Hannah. She is buried in this cemetery. James Barber, their son, was a soldier in 1812. His wife, Catherine called by those who knew her "Aunt Kit". She was 80 yrs. of age when she died. James Wesley Barber, a younger member of this family, hanged himself. He is buried there.
Obituary from the Elmira Gazette - ANOTHER HERO GONE!
At his residence in Catlin, April 16, 1849, Mr. Reuben Barbour, aged 99 years.
The subject of the above obituary was one of the earliest settlers in this part of the State; and probably no man in his sphere was more extensively know, than was Dr. Barbour. Strict integrity, and uprightness of principal have ever been accorded to him; and few of the heroes of our glorious Revolution, ever witnessed more of the stirring scenes of that trying period. He was among the first to espouse the cause of Liberty, and being of undaunted courage, and having an herculean frame, he was often brought into trying circumstances.
At the storming of Stony Point under Gen. Wayne, he acted a most conspicuous part. From his intimate acquaintance with Indian character, he was particularly serviceable in all the encounters with that wily foe. At the battle of Oriskany, when the Indians under the celebrated warrior Brandt, were completely overpowered by the Americans under General Herkimer, he was of most signal benefit to his commander. Indeed, it would require an extensive biography to recount all his encounters with the Indians. He was also at the Battle of Fort Stanwix under Col. Van Scoit. Thus are the heroes of the Revolution fast dwindline away. (Havana Rep.)
Notes for HANNAH CHAUGHAM:
Various spellings found: Hannah Cregumsands, Hannah Chaugum, Hannah Sands Chaughum. Her father was an Indian.
In her widow's pension application after his death, Hannah's deposition says she was married to Reuben in Barkhamsted, County of Litchfield, Conn. by Justice of the Peace Thomas Wilder, on Oct. 31, 1784. However, in a separate affidavit when she was applying for bounty land, she states she and Reuben were married in Barkhamsted on or about Oct. 30, 1778 by Thomas Wilder, Justice of the Peace.
Children of REUBEN BARBER and HANNAH CHAUGHAM are:

2. JAMES B3 BARBER (REUBEN2, THOMAS1) was born 1791 in CT, and died 1865 in NY. He married CATHERINE BEARDSLEY. She was born 1792 in NJ, and died Abt. 1872 in Millport, NY.
Notes for JAMES B BARBER:
Nicknamed Long Jim Barber. He served in the war of 1812 and was wounded. Buried in Barber Cemetery Millport, NY
The 1830 Catlin Township, Tioga NY census shows James with a household of 13. He's between age 30-40, the other sons are 1 under 5, 2 between 5-10, 1 between 10-15 and one between 15-20. Females show 2 under 5, 1 between 5-10, 1 between 10-15, 1 between 15-20, one between 30-40 and one between 40-50. Reuben is a neighbor in the census - he's between 70-80, his wife is between 60-70 and there's a 15-20 year old male living with them.
The 1850 Catlin Township, Chemung NY census shows James, a farmer (60 b. CT), Catherine (62 b. NJ), John (26, b. NY), James Clarke (11 b. NY), Jane Barber (22 b. PA), and John Barber, jr. (5/12 b. NY). One would assume that meant James and Catherine lived with their son John, his wife Jane and their son John, jr. and there was a farm-hand, James Clarke, living with the family. James' mother, Hannah Barber, (96 b. CT) lives next door with Catherine Clarke (15 or 18 b. NY). Presumably James and Catherine Clarke are brother and sister, but don't know if they're related to the Barbers.
The 1860 Catlin Cenus shows:

3. ULYSSES GRANT4 BARBER (JAMES B3, REUBEN2, THOMAS1) was born Abt. 1815 in Chemung County, New York, and died Jul 12, 1882 in Corning, Steuben County, NY. He married ELIZABETH CUMMINGS Abt. 1832 in NY. She was born Abt. 1814 in Chemung County, New York, and died Aft. 1880.
Notes for ULYSSES GRANT BARBER:
The 1850 Steuben County census shows the family living in the town of Caton, NY. Grant is 35 and a farmer.
The family appears in the 1860 Tioga Township, Tioga County PA census and lists Grant as a farmer, born in NY.
The 1870 Steuben County census shows the family living in Lindley. Grant is 54 and still farming.
The 1875 Lindley census also shows the couple and mentions they were both born in Chemung County.
The 1880 Census of Lindley, Steuben county, NY shows Grant and Elizabeth, both 64 and born in NY. Grant is listed as a Furniture dealer. Both of Elizabeth's parents were born in New York. Grant's father was born in New York, but his mother was born in New Jersey. Their daughter Ellen, lives directly next door with her husband Charles Brownell who is a 28 year old Furniture Maker born in NY. The Brownell's have two daughters, Gertrude, 6 and Edna 4, both born in Pennsylvania (probably Tioga County).
There is also an 1880 census record of Grant and Betsey Barber (ages 64 and 63) in Elmira living with the Fairman family and a 30 year-old Harriette Barber.
Grant is buried in the Old Presbyterian Cemetery in Corning, Steuben County, NY. The Cemetery was removed when a church and parking lot was built on the sight – but there are still a few stones in a gated area that commemorate the cemetery – there is no longer a stone for Grant Barber – but it is said that he was the last individual to be buried in the cemetery.
Notes for ELIZABETH CUMMINGS:
There is a 64 year old farmer, James Cummings (b ca 1806) listed in the Millport 1870 (Catlin, Chemung image 23 of 35) census with wife Ann (55), Thomas (20), Mary (17) and Maggie (15) but the parents were both born in Ireland and the children were all born in NY so unlikely they are related to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth's maiden name is confirmed by Eli's 3rd marriage record and Harriet Goodrich's death record - but Charles Barber's death record shows his mother as Emma Carl.

Notes for HARRIET M. BARBER:
Marriage reported in the Tioga Eagle, married by Reverand N. Nutton. She and her two children Frank (19) and Dora (16) were found in the 1880 Chicago census - perhaps she had relocated to be near Amanda during her illness. Family lore has it that she married money and apparently visited/traveled easily.
Harriet Goodrich (86) can be found in the 1920 CENSUS, Illinois, Cook, Chicago, Ward #3 Image 6 of 31. She is with son Frank G. (55), a farmer, daughter Elizabeth (57) who must be 9 year-old Lizzie grown up and still single and they live next door to daughter Dora S. and her husband Nathanial Hurst, a surgeon.
Interestingly, she filed her pension record for husband John from Wisconsin in 1890.
Obituary from the Chicago Sunday Tribune August 21, 1921: Harriet B. Goodrich, Aug. 20, 1921, aged 88 years, at her residence, 3975 Drexel Blvd. Widow of the late John M.

Notes for JOHN MCLEAN GOODRICH:
John R. Goodrich is listed as a merchant in the Elmira 1860 census with brother, Dwight A., both born in NY. This is probably not our John.
Our John is probably John McLean Goodrich born 1833, married Harriet Barber from Tioga Township in1855. The 1860 Tioga Township PA Census shows the family with 3 children, William (4), Emily (3), and Evelen (1), all born in PA.
John and Harriet are listed in the 1870 Tioga Township census (36 year old farmer) with children Emma (12), Nelson (11) and Frank (6). Their father James Goodrich (79) lives next door and John's sister's family, Harriet Goodrich Watts lives a couple of doors down.
In 1880, we find 47 year old John M. living alone in the Tioga census (but listed as married) and Hattie Goodrich (46 b. in PA) with two children, living in Cook County Illinois, with a missing head of household. The children are Frank, 19 and Dora, 16, both born in PA.

Philetus Swift's regiment, Gen. George McLure's brigade; on reaching the Niagara River at Lewiston he volunteered to cross to Fort George, where he remained three months, under command of Gen. William Henry Harrison; while here he had command of a body of cavalry, with which he went as far as Stony Creek, making many captures, among whom was a British Captain in disguise, formerly a resident of Elmira, N. Y. His commission as ensign bore date April 15, 1811; of lieutenant, April 6, 1815; of captain March 4, 1817, conferred by Gov. Daniel D. Tompkins. In June 1819, he moved to Tioga, Tioga County, Penn; became possessed of a large landed property; here he kept a public-house, carried on farming and lumbering; was appointed Postmaster at Tioga in May, 1825, which office he held until 1835, after which he was Deputy-Postmaster for a period of five years; elected County Commissioner in 1825, which office he held for three years; delegate to the state convention that nominated David R.

Notes for AMANDA BARBER:
Amanda moved from Elmira, NY to Illinois in 1870. Her husband Philip was 40+ years older than her. She survived her husband only for only a couple of years caring for her young daughter alone. Amanda had cancer of the arteries for two years and after ten days of complications (blood abscess?) she died. Amanda was buried at Mt. Greenwood cemetery, 111th St. & California, South Chicago, in an unmarked grave. Her orphaned daughter, Evangeline Harriet went to live at a Catholic Convent, the Institute of Our Lady in Chicago, for ten years until she turned 18.
The 1868 Elmira NY Directory lists Philip French living with his son E. M. French, Dentist and also lists Miss Mary Barber & Amanda Barber, dress makers, Water cor College Avenue.
Calculating her birth date from the death certificate results in March 28, 1848 - but all census records indicate she was born in 1844. The record shows she was 35 yrs, 10 months and 23 days when she died on Feb 20, 1884. The death record also shows that she was born in Irwin, Steuben Co. NY.
Notes for PHILIP FRENCH:
Phillip was a wealthy Chicago business man who made his money selling furniture. The 1870 Chicago Ward 10 census listed him as a 66 year old spring bed manufacturer, born in New York. It lists his wife Amanda as 26 years old and also born in New York. Family notes report that he was a very wealthy man who lost most all of his fortune during the Chicago Fire the second week of October 1871. He and Amanda lived in Washington Heights, Calumet Township, Chicago. Washington Heights was a German community between 95th Street and 103rd Street, now considered South Chicago. It emerged between 1860-1873 as an elaborate suburban development engineered by the Blue Island Land and Building Company. The census also shows a nine year old girl named Lizzie Goodrich lived with them, very possibly Amanda's niece (as her sister Harriet married John Goodrich). Lizzie was also born in New York. Amanda (A. M. French) was listed as a widow with a 7 year old daughter (H.E. French) in the 1880 Washington Heights/Calumet census (p. 356).
Phillip and his first wife, Julia (and 8 children), lived in Ludlowville (Tompkins County) NY from 1834 to ca 1856 according to Deed Records and his mother Rachel is listed there in both 1854 and 1859. The town directory of Elmira (Chemung County) NY, shows he lived there in 1857. Philip was listed as a member of the Board of Health in the 1857 Elmira NY directory. He is also listed in the 1863 directory. His son Robert was born in Tompkins county (Ithaca) in 1828. ??? Tompkins Co NY changed to Chemung Co in 1851?? In 1860, the family was living in Elmira, Chemung County (page 51 of the 1860 Census).
The book "History of Early Chicago - Modern Chicago and its Settlements" by Albert D. Hager (p. 628), lists Philip French as one of the Washington Heights Justices (1874-1881).
The 1850 Lansing, Thompkins, NY Census shows Philip (48 b. NJ), Julia C. (45 B. Con), Philip, jr. (15 b. Thompkins), Edson (13 b. Thompkins), Julia C. (11 b. Thompkins), Horace C. (9 b. Thompkins), John (6 b. Thompkins), Hannah Walker (60 b. Con), and Margaret ??und (19, b. Thompkins). In 1855, son Philip is listed as 20, but there is also a boarder named Philip French, aged 21 b. Tompkins living with them).

The family moved from the farm outside of Garden Prairie into Garden Prairie in November 1908. Breta moved with her mother to South Gate California in 1927 - where Eva died in 1929.
Notes for FRANK ALBERT CATCHPOOL:
Belvidere Daily Republic Obituary Feb. 1, 1909 - HAD EXPECTED TO STAY ALL NIGHT
Frank Catchpool changed his mind and went out into the storm that cost him his life - after investigating the death of Frank Catchpool on Saturday after a jury impaneled by Coroner Vance returned a verdict that he came to his death by being thrown from his hay rack and the same falling upon him while returning to his home at Garden Prairie, from Belvidere. It appears that he was either stunned or possible killed outright by the heavy hay rack toppling over on him pinning him to the ground. The rack was very heavy having been built for hauling baled hay. It is probable that he was riding on the edge of the rack away from the wind with is back to the wind, and occasionally jumping off and walking to keep his blood in circulation, as the blizzard was sufficient to chill a man...to the bone. His weight on the edge of the rack was sufficient to tip it somewhat it is possible that at a moment when the wheels on that side went into a rut; the gale sweeping across the open fields there caught under the tilted rack, lifting it into the air and toppling it over catching the victim beneath it. The rack was thrown free from the running gear of the wagon, leaving the horses free to make their way to the home of Phil Lampert, where they were found in the morning. When Mr. C.'s body was found his feet and a part of the legs projected from beneath the rack, his face was pressed down against the earth in the snow and he had apparently made no effort to pull himself up from beneath the rack, indicating that he was struck senseless when the accident happened. There was blood on his face, which was bruised. This must have occurred before six o'clock in the evening, and the road is a main travelled one, though on that wild night, probably very few people passed the spot. If anyone passed it, they must have been so blinded by the blizzard that they did not see the rack and the man prostrate beneath it. No search was made for Mr. Catchpool that night because he had sent word to Mrs. Catchpool at their home in the village of Garden Prairie that he expected to stay with his brother, Al Catchpool, in Belvidere, over night. Mrs. Catchpool sat up till about midnight waiting fro him and concluding that he had remained in the city, retired. In the meantime Mr. Catchpool had changed his mind about staying in town, and left his brother's place about 5:00 in the midst of the storm. He was urged to remain, but said that he preferred to go home so that he would be there in the morning to do the chores. Besides the widow stricken by tragedy here are three little girls, the eldest 12 years old and a number of other relatives. All will receive the sympathy of many friends in their bereavement. The funeral will be held on Tuesday at 1:00 at the home in Garden Prairie and 1:30 at the Methodist Church there. Mr. Catchpool was a member of Odd Fellows and also of the Modern Woodmen, carrying $1,000 insurance in the latter order. The body was taken to the barn at Phil Lampert's, as it was necessary to await the arrival of Coroner Vance from Capron, who reached the place after noon.

Hello Joyce,
I am Pauline (Polly) Goodwin and a descendent of the Reuben Barber family on your site. Thank you so much for all the work you have done and are doing for genealogy.
In reading through the information you have on “9. Theodore Barber (Ulysses Grant, James B, Reuben, Thomas) born about 1835 in NY”, I have found a possible discrepancy. In the 1850 Census of NY, County of Steuben, Town of Caton, I found Grant and Elizabeth Barber with the children listed including Theodore, age 15. The names match the ones you have listed as the children of Ulysses Grant Barber and Elizabeth Cummings. Under the notes for Theodore Barber on your site, he is listed as 18 years and living with William and Mary Benson (which I also found).
I am attaching a copy of the census page for your verification.
With regards,
Polly
