Descendants of John and Mary 'Polly' Jane (Ice) BARNHOUSE of Hampshire and
Monongalia Counties, Virginia

Table of Contents

Henry and Anna (BAKER) BARNHOUSE are first found in records in the 1795 Hampshire County, Virginia tax records.  Henry was enumerated for many years in Hampshire County adjacent to John BARNHOUSE (md. Rebecca BAKER). Both men married daughters of John BAKER, Sr. of Hampshire County, Virginia. Land records and court records document the children of John BAKER, Sr. and their relationship to the BARNHOUSEs. Sometime between 1809 and 1815, Henry moved to Monongalia County, Virginia (in a portion now encompassing Marion County, Virginia).  The tax records suggest that Henry BARNHOUSE paid taxes on John BARNHOUSE in the year 1803. It is likely that John and Henry BARNHOUSE were brothers and they have been included here as such.  Jacob BARNHOUSE was closely associated with John and Rebecca (BAKER) BARNHOUSE in subsequent tax and census records and Jacob may also be related to John and Henry BARNHOUSE.
