I'm searching for a needle in a haystack. My grandmother, Mary Drucilla
Barber, married my grandfather, John Thomas Porterfield, in Fulton
County, Arkansas in about 1905. We do not know where she came from. All
we know is that she was married before to a man whose last name was
Roffe. She had three children by this marriage, two died very young, and
her son, Robert, died at age nineteen. Mr. Roffe (John, I think)
disappeared and she was told he was dead. She did not believe it, and
obtained a divorce before she married John Thomas Porterfield. A family
bible lists her parents names as Buck Barber and Mary Chadwick.
I am looking in Clay County because in a list of Clay County marriages
there was a bridegroom Roffe and a bride Barber. Has anyone heard of
this family. Any clues would be greatly appreciated.
