Listed in 1871 Canadian Census, Ontario, Lanark North, Pakenham

Listed in 1881 Canadian Census, Ontario, Lanark North, Pakenham (112-K-2-20-81)

Resided - 1891 - McNab Twp., living with William & Isabella.

From Jim Richards notes:

"In the early 1830's, Eustache Barbary came to McNab Twp. with a Mr. Brent to take out lumber. According to legend, Eustache came to the home of James Headrick in Pakenham to sharpen his axe and there met 17 year old Isabella. It was "love at first sight" and although James Headrick didn't approve of such a marriage (French & RC), in time he realized the good qualities of Eustache, who was known as the "Peacemaker", a strong man who often "picked up an Indian who misbehaved at the Inn and set him where he pleased". Isabella's father stipulated that Eustache must be known as Hugh Barber and on Isabella's 18th birthday, Jan 23, 1835, the young couple were married by Rev. Mr. Fairbairn at Auld Kirk, her father having loaned them a jumper sleigh and team and a broadaxe as protection from the Indians (per legend). Also it is said that the local Indian women had made Isabella a wedding dress and a blue cape lined with white fabric. The church record shows the witnesses were brother James and Robert Yuill. Robert is thought to have married a Janet Headrick (not related to this family).

Land records for McNab Twp., Con.3, lot 3 have not been checked but this was the 1st home for the couple (near White Lake village). It was busy times. the 1851 census showed several children and men boarding at the house who were working for Mr. Barber in lumbering. In 1861 & 71, school taxes for Pakenham Twp. shows the family also lived "up the lake" at Con.1, lot 25E, Pakenham. Detailed maps will show a small island offshore named Barber Island. In time, Mr. & Mrs. Barber moved back to the 1st home in McNab Twp., no longer standing but near the house built by son William Barber for his family.

Renfrew Mercury, 9 Nov 1900 - DIED:

"One of the oldest residents of McNab passed away on Saturday, Nov 3 after a very painful illness which was born with great patience. Funeral followed on Monday to the White Lake cemetery, attended by a large number of friends.

White Lake News, Nov 1900 - DIED:

"Mr. Eustache Barber, who died at White Lake on Nov. 3rd, aged 90 years, was born in St. Eustache Quebec in 1811. His parents came from Old France, likely under the name Barbeau. He came to McNab in 1833, engaged to one John Brill, who was lumbering in the township at the time, and was married to Isabella Headrick (eldest daughter of James Headrick, formerly of Lanark Twp.) in 1835. He leaves to mourn his departure a widow, 5 boys and 6 girls. He was a devoted husband and affectionate father.

From Rev. David Graham, Presbyterian Minister, White Lake & Burnstown, who attended him during his last illness:

"It is with great pleasure that I testify to the simple childlike faith in the Lord Jesus Christ of the late Mr. Barber during his last illness. In my conversations with him I found that he possessed a wonderful memory, a thoughful mind and an anxious spirit by which he was very soon able, after a simple and clear presentation to the plan of salvation, according to the New Testament teaching, to grasp the truth, namely that out of Christ, there's no salvation & that a new birth and faith in Jesus Christ, and not good works, was essential to salvation. His vision grew brighter and faith stronger as the end approached, and I am fully persuaded that he was enabled to pillow his dying head on the promises of Christ and to pass with the Redeemed into the Eternal City.

McNab Twp. records show that no break has yet occurred in the family of eleven children. Grandchildren living number 78 and 60 great grandchildren.

Lanark Era, 7 Nov 1900 - DIED:

" At White Lake, Saturday, November 3rd, Mr. Eustache Barber aged 90 years. His wife, the former Isabella Headrick survives as well as a large family. His widow was born Jan 23rd 1815 & she was married on her 18th birthday, 23rd Jan 1833 to Mr. Barber. On Jan 23rd 1834, their eldest daughter Mary (Mrs. John Deachman Sr. of Lanark) was born. The others are Mrs. Andrew Kirk of Forresters Falls, Mrs. John Turner of Ramsay, Mrs. James Turner, Grand Forks North Dakota, Mrs. Patrick McManus of Pakenham, Mrs. W. Haggerty of Waba, William of White Lake, Peter, Warren, Eustache, David and James, all of Michigan.

Eustache married Isabella Headrick on 23 Jan 1835 in Auld Kirk, Pakenham Twp., Renfrew County, Ontario.
