Note: A one page genealogy, which I obtained from the Lee County ( NC ) Genealogical
and Historical Society's vertical file says  that Moses Barber was one of three brothers
( names not given ) who came from England to the United States in the early 1700s and who
migrated from New England to North Carolina. He lived in Chatham County and died in 1795.
He and his wife, Elizabeth, this document says, had two children, Zadock and a daughter,
name unknown, who married William Perry.

Is this Elizabeth married to John Perry, Zadock's sister ? Note that this is an 1826 document
and Moses' wife Elizabeth is said to have died in 1825. Did John Perry's Elizabeth receive
the dower of the Elizabeth who died in 1825 and was Zadock's mother ?

United States Census, Upper Regiment Township, 1850

TEMPE BARBER, age 60, is a Head of Household, with the following members

   ARCHIBALD   36
   ELIZABETH   19
   MARTHA   10 MONTHS
   WESLEY   24
   DANIEL GOING  20
   REBECCA BEAL  9

It appears that ARCHIBALD is TEMPE'S son and ELIZABETH and MARTHA are his wife and daughter, respectively. WESLEY, too, would be TEMPIE'S son. REBECCA BEAL was TEMPIE'S granddaughter through her daughter LYDIA who married ELISHA BEAL.

This census establishes TEMPE'S birth year as 1790. There is a family tree which gives 1787 as her birth year as 1787.

This family tree names the children of TEMPE and ZADOCK as being

   JOHN T.   b. 1808
   MOSES   b. 1812
   TYSON   b. 1814
   JANE    b. 1817
   LYDIA    b. 1819
   WILLIAM   b. 1821
   ARCHIBALD   b. 1824
   WESLEY B.   b. 1827

The use of the name WILLIAM raises the possibility of a family connection  with that WILLIAM
BARBER found earlier in this document. JOHN T. and WESLEY B. each named a son WILLIAM. Neither the children nor the grandchildren of TEMPE and ZADOCK were named RICHARD.

But it must be recognized that WILLIAM BARBER, the son of TEMPIE and ZADOCK, could have been named after WILLIAM STINSON. See the entry above for 10 April 1820. WILLIAM STINSON was witness to a Deed wherein ZADOCK BARBER sold a piece of land.

From these birth dates, one imagines that TEMPE and ZADOCK were married perhaps a year or two before 1808. TEMPE would have been 15 or 18 in 1808, depending upon which birth date you accept.

Note: TEMPE'S name may have been TEMPERANCE. One of her grandchildren, a daughter of her son ARCHIBALD ( ARCHY ) had the name TEMPERANCE. Her name is found in the Chatham County 1860 Census.
