Subject: [BARRINGER] John Paul and Matthias Barringer questions
Date: Sat, 2 Aug 2003 18:18:17 -0500


Reading a short genealogy of John Paul Barringer Cabarrus Co. NC It said
that he arrived in America on Ship Phoenix arriving Sept . 30 1743.he
married within the year to Ann Eliza Eisman and in 1753 moved to NC. living
on Dutch Buffalo Creek. After 5 years he sent for his parents and brothers
and sisters. ( I guess that should have been about
1758 but the paper said 1748. )
It said Welhelm and Paulina died at sea on the way to America The ship "
Palina" with John Brown as master landed at Philadelphia on Sept 16, 1748
(The ship that landed on Sep 16, 1748 with John Brown as master was named
the Patience and there was no Barringer family aboard it. )
Can someone tell me the name of the ship and the date that Matthias
Barringer, his brothers and sisters arrived in America?
The article continues ----
"Matthias was now in charge of the party. They had to wait in Philadelphia
with some friends for John Paul to send for them and take them to North
Carolina. Mathias lived with his brother on Dutch Buffalo creek for a
number of Years.
Another problem I am having with this article .
If John Paul moved to NC in 1753 he was not in NC in 1748 when he sent for
his family.
So they couldn't have waited for someone to take them to NC.
What year did Matthias reach NC .? Did Matthias marry Margaret Bushart in
1762 and last
What year did Mathias own land in Cabarrus Co. NC.
