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]
1701 - May 25. Capt.
John Tarpley, sheriff.
John Lloyd, Esq., administrator of Thomas Lloyd, gent. [McGhan p 292]
1714 - Anne Glasscock makes her will and leaves several items for her grandchildren and her daughter Anne Tarpley, 2nd or 3rd wife of Capt. John Tarpley.
1721- The following suit is involved with Mary Carpenter estate, the apparent former Mary Glasscock. 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 neices, nephews, and brothers and sisters-in-law.
