Notes:

(1) According to Mr. Ron Craig of Columbia, Missouri, Philip Barger, “as a boy of fourteen was one of the very few persons to survive the Draper’s Meadows Massacre, July 30th 1755. Eluding the Indians, he finally made his way back to his old home in the Shenandoah Valley and there he grew to manhood. He became a freighter at which he prospered. He married Eve Clements of Koiner's Store, VA. She was born May 1, 1749, and died at Blacksburg, VA on Oct 7, 1791. Soon after their marriage, Philip and Eve Barger moved to Draper’s Meadows to reclaim the land that had cost the life of Philip’s father. It was good land and the Bargers made a fine farm of it and there they spent the rest of their lives. Their children were all born there and Philip and Eve were buried on the farm. The present day town of Blacksburg is on one-time Barger land. A surviving letter written by Philip Barger in 1795 shows him to have been a cultured gentleman of refined sentiments and possessed of an enviable command of the English Language. He died at Blacksburg, Montgomery Co., VA, August 3, 1803. Philip and Eve had the following children: Gasper (Casper?), Jacob, Hohn, Philip, Christian, Eve, Catherine, and Adam. After Eve Clements Barger died, Philip married again, to Barbara May of Blacksburg, VA by whom he had four children: Mary, George (died in infancy), Frederick and Larene. Most of the children of Philip and Eve Barger moved to Indiana and Illinois.”

(2) Philip had a part in building the Barger Indian Fort. A marker has been erected to note the location near Blacksburg, VA. Source: Barger, G.J.P., MD., Barger Family Newsletter No. 2, 10 Jan 1956, LDS Fiche No. 6047052.

(3) Philip Barger died 30 Jul 1755 at Draper’s Meadow, VA during an Indian attack, together with his brother Gasper. According to Mr. Ron Craig of Columbia, Missouri, “Philip Barger was born in the German Palatinate about 1700. He came to Philadelphia from Rotterdam, Holland and from there to the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia before 1740. He owned farmland near McGaheysville in what was then Augusta County, (later Rockingham County). His wife’s name is unknown. They were probably married in Germany. Philip’s brother, Gasper Barger, lived on a farm in the same community. He also had come to Philadelphia via Rotterdam, and this may be the origin of the erroneous family tradition that the Bargers were Dutch. In 1755, the Bargers came to notice when Philip and Gasper and Philip’s son, Philip, Jr., were making preparations for a journey to Draper’s Meadows in Southwest Virginia where they had bought farm land in a new land development, their purpose being to erect buildings before moving their families there. It will be recalled that this was the time of the French and Indian War. On July 9th, General Braddock was defeated and killed. Colonel George Washington was retreating with the reminants of Braddock’s Army and the Indians were out of hand everywhere. July 30, 1775, Indians struck the new settlement at Draper’s Meadow and the entire settlement was wiped out. Gasper and Philip Barger, Sr., being among those killed.”

(4) Buried: Green Grove Cemetary, Latham, Moniteau Co., MO (5) Sara Gist was a descendent of Christopher Gist, early explorer of the Ohio Valley, whose grandmother was Edith Cromwell, daughter of Richard and grandaughter of Oliver Cromwell.
