Notes:

1871 census, Carlow Twp. shows him of French Presbyterian descent - Jim Richards.

We have no record for this family but in Nov 1990, a gr-grandson, Mr. Gary Holmes of Grand Blanc, Michigan phoned, followed by a letter, which was passed to a Barber relative. This past winter I wrote Mr. Holmes at the address on the letter but had no reply. He did state that the Death Certificate was filed in Alcona Co., Michigan, no other info - Jim Richards

Jim was very strict with his family. He would tell his family that they would do whatever they were told. Would hold his son Jim & not let him talk - Forest Lee Barber (grandson)

A Mr. Koon was stealing Jim's moonshine. Jim would see him sneaking down and take a drink on a continuing basis. Jim filled the bottle with kerosene instead of moonshine. When Mr. Koon sneaked down & took a big drink, he threw the bottle down & never stole any of Jim's moonshine again - Anabell Barber Richards

All the family was down to help Jim & Cora put in a new foundation for the house. Instead of digging, the men were down in in the cellar drinking & were getting quite drunk. Myoma, Forest Barber's wife, told some of the kids to go down and get one of the bottles. She pissed in the bottle and sent it back down with the kids. Orval Richards, the husband of Annabell Barber, grabbed that particular bottle, took a drink, spit it out and commented that "it tasted like warm piss" - James Robert Peake
