Paternal Ancestors of Betty Atkins

General Notes: REFN: 567 Ellis R. Brockman states that Joseph was said to have been a pallbearer of President Madison. This makes sense as he was related to Dolly Madison via marriage. Atkins and Todds tended to marry cousins and Dolly was married to a Todd previous to marrying the President. Joseph's two eldest daughters were prominent in society at the time.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------

James Barham was descended from a noble family of English origin who were entitled to bear a coat of arms. The pedigree recorded at the College of Arms in London reaches back to 15th Century Sussex. The immigrant ancestor to America was Capt. Charles Barham of Kent, England who settled in Surry and James City Counties in Virginia in the middle 1600s. He was the great-great grandfather of James Barham, the subject of this sketch. James Barham (Jr.) was born in Southampton County, Virginia in 1764 to James (Sr.) and Mary (Thorpe) Barham. He entered the Virginia Militia on January 1, 1781, at the age of sixteen, from Southampton County. He served in Whitehead’s Virginia Militia in General Nathaniel Greene’s division. He was present when Cornwallis surrendered to General Greene. Three years after the Revolution he moved to North Carolina and lived in Wake (1785-1791), Guilford (1792-1798), and Stokes (1799-1812) Counties. He married first in 1785 at Wake County, North Carolina to Prudence (Freeman) Dunn, widow of John Dunn, and daughter of Josiah and Phoebe (Stokes) Freeman. She had 6 children by her first marriage who all grew to love their stepfather, James Barham. In 1813 Barham moved his family to Kentucky where he eventually resided in three counties, Logan (1813-1827), Calloway (1828-1833), and Trigg (1833-1846). His first wife, Prudence, died on January 1, 1815 in Logan County, Kentucky and was buried on the farm belonging to Charles and Sarah (Barham) Robinson. James married second in Logan County on September 11, 1815 to Elizabeth Houston. While living at Callaway County, Kentucky he applied for a Revolutionary War pension on June 24, 1833 when he was 69 years of age. He was transferred from the Kentucky Pension Roll to that of Missouri on December 28, 1846 as shown by the Greene County Justice Court records (Witness: John B. Robinson). Earlier that year he had made his final move to Greene County, Missouri to be near his children. One daughter, Phoebe (Barham) Tatum and family had moved to Greene County in 1837 and helped establish the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church. Others of the Barham family also came to Greene County. James Barham was a great favorite of people in Greene County for he was a fine talker and told of his many war adventures and pioneer days in North Carolina and Kentucky. He also delighted in hunting and fishing and kept a pack of hounds to help him in his hunting excursions when he lived in Kentucky. From court records we find that James Barham later applied for a bounty land warrant in Greene County on April 10, 1855, when he was 92 years old (Witness: Thomas G. McKoin, his son-in-law). In 1860 there was a celebration given in Springfield, Missouri, in his honor, as he was the only living Revolutionary Soldier at that time in this part of the country. He was presented with a flag, representing the original 13 states, by some young ladies of Springfield. James Barham remained in remarkable health throughout his senior years. It is said that at 100 years of age he could still ride horseback for a distance of 20 miles. It is further stated by family members that he never wore spectacles (eyeglasses) and at 100 years of age could shoot game at the distance of 100 yards. He died at the home of his grandson, James Robinson, on Leiper Prairie, 15 miles west of Springfield in Greene County on January 8, 1865 in his 101st year and was buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery. James Barham was one of the last five surviving soldiers of the American Revolution who were on the U.S. Pension Roll. By an act of Congress approved February 27, 1865, each of the five surviving soldiers was to receive the sum of $300 annually from the government, in addition to the pension they were already receiving. However, Barham died in January 1865, just prior to the passing of this act, and the government had not yet received notification. The other soldiers still living in 1865 were Lemuel Cook of Clarendon, New York, age 98; Samuel Downing of Edinburg, New York, age 98; William Hutchings of Penobscot, Maine, age 100; and Alexander Maroney of Yates, New York, age 94. A grave marker was dedicated at his burial site on October 16, 1937 by the Rachel Donelson Chapter DAR of Springfield. However the DAR marker is no longer visible at his gravesite. Also a new stone that includes the Barham Coat of Arms on the back side, was erected sometime after about 1980. (SOURCES: Leonard A.
