He is referred to by some genealogist as "Captain" although at this time I don't know why.

1664 - John Tarply dies and left a widow named Mary and sons James and John Tarpley. [Williams p.63/ Boddie, Vol. 1, p. 44]

About 1664/56 - Mary, widow of John Tarpley, marries Captain William Barber of Old Rappahannock County. They live in Lancaster County, Virginia for a period of time. Captain Barber has two brothers, Richard and Thomas, and a sister Dorothy Millicent. After his sister's death Captain Barber becomes guardian of her children. We know this from documents from a lawsuit with his guardianed sons, William and Charles Barber. These same two boys are identified in the will of James Tarpley, son of John Tarpley, in 1687 as his brothers and listed along with his own natural brother John as executors. Since they took the last name of Barber by this time they were apparently were adopted.
[Williams, p.63 / VA. Mag. of Hist. and Biog. ,Vol.,35, p.416]

1716-17 - John Hipkins married Mary Glasscock.  In this will he makes Anne Tarpley, his apparent sister-in-law the secondary heir to his property. 

1716- This is the marriage of Capt John Tarpley II. only son.

 John Tarpley(JR) married Elizabeth Harwar (wid.) groom was a son of Jn & Elizabeth (Glascock) Tarpley; bride was a dau. of Sam. and Frances (Allerton) Travers and wid of Thos. Harwar (d. 1713) of EC; groom m(2) Eliz. Ripping; [Robt Headley Married Well and Often..p.343]

1721- The following suit is involved with Mary Carpenter estate, the apparent former Mary Glasscock  who married Thomas Carpenteer(b.1673) 13 Jan 1717. I'm not certain what this will means except that it links several families together - Glasscock, Tarpley, Barber, Griffin, Hipkins and Woodbridge. Mary (Glasscock) Carpenter apparently had a brother, Thomas, and two sisters, Anne Tarpley and Alice Griffin. Others mentioned here are apparently nieces, nephews, and brothers and sisters-in-law.
