Notes for George Washington Barber:
From: Pioneers of Wiregrass Georgia (vol.9)
George Washington Barber was born about November 5, 1842. There are several descrepancies recorded about his date of birth. The Barber Family Bible and his tombstone give the date of birth as November 5, 1842. George Washington Barber was probably born in Barnwell District, South Carolina, the son of John Barber and his wife, Anne Gills. The family was listed in the 1840 and 1850 Census of Barnwell District, South Carolina. George was listed as age 12 which should have made him born about 1838. The Barnwell County, South Carolina Census of 1860, Allendale Section, Household #805 lists George's mother, Anne Barber, Samuel Barber (Philip Samuel to us), age 14, and Ephraim Barber, age 12. George Barber, age 17, was living in Household #802 in the home of W.M. Bonnett.
George Washington Barber enlisted in the military service of the CSA, Company "B", 63rd Georgia Infantry at Thunderbolt, Georgia, near Savannah, August 1, 1862. He selected this particular company because he had a brother-in-law, George W. Stone, already enlisted there. He was wounded at Kennesaw Mountain, Georgia. He was wounded again in another battle and was honorably discharged near Richmond, Virginia in the latter part of April, 1865, due to the surrender of General Robert E. Lee.
Following his discharge from the army, George Washington Barber accompanied one of his Army friends to his home in Pierce County, Georgia. In June 1865, George Washington Barber married Jane Carroll, daughter of his Army friend, Archibald Carroll and his wife Elizabeth "Betsey" Rowell. They remained in Georgia for three years and then moved to Florida where they lived in Nassau and Duval Counties.
Jane Carroll Barber was born September 7, 1845. She died April 4, 1921 and is buried at Jones Cemetery in Callahan, Florida. Her tombstone reads "Mrs. G.W. Barber". George Washington Barber died May 7, 1927 and is also buried at Jones Cemetery and his grave is marked.

Notes for Phillip Samuel Barber:
From The Roster of Confederate Soldiers Vol 2, pg 146:
P.S. Barbre (Barber)
Company I, 11th Regiment, Georgia Volunteer Infantry
Army of Northern Virginia CSA Randolph County GA, ("Quitman Greys")
Private, Dec 1, 1862. Wounded and disabled at Gettysburg, Pa July 2, 1863 (2nd day). Admitted to General Hospital #9 at Richmond, Virginia October 28, 1863; to Ocmulgee Hospital at Macon, Georgia December 17,1864, and transferred January 11,1865. No later record.
According to 1880 Census (Wayne County - Jesup, GA) he was born in SC along with two Barber neighbors (probably brothers) also from SC. The entries look as follows:
Name race sex age rel. occ. birth father bp mother bp
Barber, GW white male 29 farmer SC SC SC
Jane " " Female 32 wife hk GA GA GA
Archibald G male 11 son GA SC GA
James male 8 GA SC GA

Barber PS white male 31 farmer SC SC SC
Maggie female 35 wife GA GA GA
Susan female 18 GA GA GA
Agnes female 10 GA SC GA
John male 8 GA SC GA
Carrie female 2 GA SC GA

the PS and his family. His age is 31 and Maggie's 35 according to the census. This doesn't match what I have. P.S. died 7/21/1921 and according to his Obit. he was 75 years old. According to 1860 census (see below) the Samuel living in Anne Barber's household was age 14. This matches the age quoted in his obit. 1921 - 75 = 1846. 1846 + 14 = 1860. This helps confirm the Samuel was P.S. when coupled with the fact that he was living next to G.W. and Ephraim in the 1880 census.

Bowen of Pierce county, and the charge to the congregation was presented by the Rev. C.M. Hart. The Bible was tendered by the Rev. I.T. Sweat; the ordination prayer was J. Lestor Johnson, and the hand of fellowship by the Rev. Mr. A.J. Harper, pastor of Second Baptist.
The Rev. Mr. Barber, mechanical superintendent for the Waycross Journal-Herald for a number of years, has been an active churchman for a long period, having devoted his interests largely to mission and evangelistic work throughout the rural areas of Southeast Georgia.
