4. | Samuel Smith Barnhill, (Immigrant) was born in 1732 in Co Antrim, Ulster, Ireland (son of Robert Barnhill, (Immigrant) and Sarah Smith); died in 1794 in Virginia. Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: Living in Bedminster Twp., Bucks Co., Pa Feb 1761. (See records of Deep Run Presbyterian church). Samuel was still in Bucks County as late as1768 as evidenced by a mortgage granted him by Jacob Guile (Gill) on Jun 18,1768. He most likely remained there until the mid-1770's when he located for a period of time in Cumberland County before moving on to Washington County in 1779. He is found On the Washington Co., Pa. tax list of 1788.This reference could be to either Samuel or his eldest son, as there is a Samuel Barnhill on the 1787 tax list of Fayette County, Penn. Military: Post Rev War: Muster Rolls and Papers relating to the County of Washington. Pa. Archives, 1-Vol. II-6th Series, pp. 761-765. Served in Lieutenant Richard Seaton's company as private. Researcher David Lee Barnhill writes: "Fought in the Revolutionary War, removed to Washington County in Western Pennsylvania, and to Scott County, Kentucky with his son, Samuel Jr., cousins [this is an error] Robert Barnhill and Daniel Barnhill. He is list(ed) on the monument at Georgetown, Ky." NOTE: This researcher believes the reference is to Samuel's son (also named Samuel) moved to Scott County, Kentucky about 1790 with two brothers, Robert and Daniel - based on historical documents regarding the early settlers of Scott County found in the Kentucky Historical Society's library at Frankfort. Hugh and Jane (nee Barnhill, the sister) Sharon moved from Washington County Pa. to Scott Co, Ky. a few years later. Also listed as a Washington County [Pennsylvania] Frontier Ranger 1778-1783. Bill Puttman, a Sharon researcher believes the Barnhill ansd Sharon families moved from Pennsylvania to Kentucky via the Ohio river, not overland, as some Barnhill researchers have previously stated. I agree with Puttman's analysis. A portion of his notes follow: "They remained in Fayette County, Kentucky only a short time and then moved to adjacent Scott County. In fact they may not have moved as these two counties were established in the 1790s from Virginia counties and the borders may have been ill-defined at the time. The births of their next three children are all recorded as occurring in Scott County; Robert in 1798, Jane in 1800 and Nancy in 1804." Samuel married Jane Craig in 1750 in Bucks Co, Pennsylvania. Jane (daughter of Daniel Craig and Margaret Stewart (or Bromfield)) was born in 1734 in Bucks Co, Pennsylvania; died in 1814 in Cumberland Co, Pennsylvania. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |

8. | Robert Barnhill, (Immigrant) was born on 10 Jun 1703 in Co Antrim, Ulster, Ireland (son of Samuel Barnhill, (Immigrant)); died in 1799 in Bedminster, Bucks Co, Pennsylvania; was buried in Deep Run Presbyterian Church Cem, Bedminser, Bucks Co, Pennsylvania. Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: According to the "History of Bucks County, PA" by William H. Davis, Robert Barnhill, an early settler of Bedminster, is buried in the Deep Run Presbyterian Cemetery. Two of his sons, Samuel & John, married daughters of Daniel Craig, and a daughter married Archibald Finley, Jr., all of Bucks County. Robert Barnhill arrived from Ireland in 1734 at about the same time as the Finleys. Robert and his sons bought and sold several tracts of land. To a degree, they were "money loaners". Another son, William, was involved in tavernkeeping before moving to South Carolina. John later moved to Philadelphia becoming a merchant where he also established and operated a stage line known as the "Flying Machine". Samuel sold his lands in Bucks County, and purchased lands in Cumberland County where he lived several years before moving further west to Washington County. While it is not known when Robert died, it is believed that it was sometime in the mid to late 1760's. Robert married Sarah Smith about 1726 in Co Ulster, Ireland. Sarah was born in 1707.
