Notes for George Barmore, Sr:
George Barmore, Sr. [1725-aft 1790]
We have no means of knowing when George Barmore came to America. It must be in the neighborhood of two hundred years ago. The first we learn of him, he was a poor orphan boy in New Jersey, living with a family who were very unkind to him. Their chief concern for the orphan boy was to see that he should not be a burden to them. Whether he earned his bread and butter or not, we do not know; but it was no unusual thing for him to have to retire at night hungry. Neither do we know when he left New Jersey, nor who nor when he married. His exit from the State must have been early in life, for I think all his children claim to be Virginians. When or at what age he was when he died, we have never learned. he died in South Carolina, having resided in the State several years. He raised one son and three daughters. One daughter married RHONEY, the second SHIRLEY, the third MORRISON.
