Barbara is thought to have been born in England in about 1722. The year of her arrival to America is not known. She met and married Frederick Parrett, thought to be from Switzerland, in about 1738. Records show they settled in Dunmore County, Virginia, later Shenandoah County.
The couple became the parents of 7-sons, who all served as soldiers in the Revolutionary War, and 2-daughters.
Barbara was preceded in death by one son, George, who died while serving as a Revolutionary Soldier after the battle of Germantown in 1777 at the approximate age of 31.
She is thought to have been buried on their farm in Tom's Brook, Shenandoah County, Virginia. Descendants of their sons are known to spell the family name as either Parrett or Parrott.
The grave of one daughter 'Elizabeth' (may have married Henry Shoemaker) has not, yet, been located and linked to her parents graves.
