Martha Mariah Barkley

Bef 1812 - 1855  (34 years)

• Name	Martha Mariah Barkley  [1]
  Birth	Bef 1812	North Carolina
  Gender	Female
  Death	Between 1846 and 1855
  Notes	Looking for information on the ancestry of John Barkley who appears in the records of Northampton County, NC, from about 1800 on until he disappears therefrom after 1820. He was married to Rebecca Doles (died before May 18, 1820), daughter of Francis Doles, sometime between 1805 and 1812, and they had five children, Francis Doles Barkley, Martha Mariah Barkley (gg-grandmother of the undersigned), Jesse F Barkley, John R. Barkley and Rebecca J. Barkley. He was also apparently a fairly prominent person for, according to his grandson, Benj. F. McLemore, John Barkley was a NC state senator. Despite this info, I have been unable to connect him. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I would in return be willing to supply info on his McLemore descendants and/or info on his wife's family. Reply either here or directly to: Jim McLemore mclemore@picusnet.com http://genforum.genealogy.com/barkley/messages/838.html

  Family	James McLemore,   b. Between 1799 and 1801, Sussex County, Virginia d. Abt 1877, Southampton County, Virginia (Age 78 years)
  Marriage	21 Aug 1834  [1]
  	On August 21, 1834, James McLemore gave his bond to marry Martha Mariah BARKLEY, daughter of John BARKLEY of Northampton County, North Carolina. Her father was a man of prominence in his county, serving for a time as state senator; he was apparently also an immigrant from Scotland according to family records, an assertion not disproved by the Northampton County records where he mysteriously appears shortly before 1800. In 1839 James and his wife Martha conveyed to her brother Francis D. BARKLEY all of her interest in a piece of Barkley property belonging to her family (Northampton Deed Book 28, p. 453). (James L. McLemore, III, p. 80).
