Below is what I have so far on the union of John Smith and Barbara Barnhart(dt). I would of course love to correspond with anyone that has a ancestor in this list or trying to prove or disprove it.

I am particularly hunting for birth and death FACTS on John Smith and Barbara Barnhart(dt). They resided in Ripley County, Indiana from 1840-1880. John Smith and Jacob Barnhart(dt) on 1870 census and absent from the 1880. They lived next door or down 1 or 2 families most of this time 1840-1880. They John and Jacob must have died in Ripley County, Indiana and Barbara may have died there or went and lived with one of her kids and died in that location.
