Samuel was married to Elizabeth "Betsy"Barrow b:1790 in Mississippi. His Father was Samuel Barber Mother Elizabeth Broughs. My information says he died at Gus Buck Place, Liberty Co., Texas
Samuel Barber died at the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Gus and Eliza Buck, just north of Barbers Hill, Chambers County, Texas. He was buried at the Gus Buck Place; although the exact location was not recorded, it was likely beside the Buck children who died in infancy and POSSIBLY beside Charles Welch and his wife Alcesta-who lived there previous to the Bucks. The grave-site of Samuel, unmarked, unknown, and substantially undisturbed for many years was found in 1994. The site is near, but not on Buck Gully-a short tributary of Old River in Texas. A marker was placed for him in the Amos Barber Cemetery of Mont Belvieu, Chambers County, Texas.
-TEXAS COASTAL PIONEERS of Chambers County by Varuna Hartmann Lawrence(1870-1964),pages 15-16:
BARBER (a):
There were a number of families moving into Texas in the early days. Among them the Barber family consisting of Amos, Liza, Ben, Reuben, Addison, Melissa and Annie. These are the ones I knew personally.
They came here from Louisiana but were originally from Virginia. Amos was the oldest and married Susan Ann Hodges Fitzgerald, the widow of Francis Marion Fitzgerald, who was drowned near Galveston and buried in a grove of trees near the southwest end of Galveston Island called Eagle Grove. There was a little girl in the home when Francis Marion drowned, named Adalesa Martha and a little boy was born about five months after his father's death. This boy was given his father's name and was called Frank.
Amos Barber and his wife had ten children. Betty died in early childhood. They were as follows: Amanda, Albert Milby, Elmer Watson, Ella, Josh, Lillie (Lil), Estelle, Bertha Aquilla, William Henry (Will).
Ella married Joe Fisher and they had the following children: Amos, Jenira, Martha, Walter, Irene, Henry, Zeidee, Lula and one baby died.
Elmer married Amanda Fisher and their children were: Lillie, Quinton, Julian, Elsie, Bessie, Schuyler. They also lost one baby.
Albert married Henrietta Lawrence and their children were: Celina, a son who died young, and Arthur.
