75th Barefoot Reunion ~ August 2, 1992

Booklet Sylvia Sonneborn Made for the 75th Reunion ~ Eleanor Kinnan. President

Note: This booklet was compiled for the 75th Barefoot Reunion when the Barefoot Clan believed that their members were direct descendants of Colonel George Ross. Even in 2009, we do not know the parentage of James Ross, husband of Ruth Robinson and father of Rebecca Ross Barefoot.















Photo of Mary "Polly" Sleek/Slick Barefoot, wife of James Barefoot, who is the son of Benjamin and Rebecca Ross Barefoot.

This is a photo of Solomon Nunemaker Hammer and his wife Elizabeth Barefoot Hammer and their family members. Elizabeth is the daughter of James and Mary Sleek Barefoot.

You can use the hyperlinks along the side to go from one to another. Each one has lots of good information. If you don't agree with something, there is opportunity to post a comment. If you want to identify yourself or add to or correct your genealogy, or have me contact you, just leave a commnet. Enjoy all the news I have attempted to include to preserve our Barefoot family history. And if you want to see the genealogy, go to Becky Barefoot's website. She has a wonderful researched genealogy of the descendants of Samuel Barefoot and other family lines posted there. Sharon Sheldon has done a timeline, which allows you to follow the Rosses and Barefoots from the first recorded family members in Berks County to Bedford County.
