General Notes: Husband - Daniel Barchus

---

He attended the common schools, and in 1838 began teaming on the "pike" with his brother, Otho Gwinn Barchus. At the time when the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was being built into Cumberland, Maryland, the first goods to arrive included a consignment of freight for Wheeling, this shipment weighing six thousand pounds. Mr. Barchus contracted to deliver it in six days and accomplished the feat, thereby winning great praise and afterward being honored by public rejoicing and celebration. Later, he took up coal mining in the vicinity of Frostburg, then bought a farm in Allegany County, Maryland. Later, he removed to a farm in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, then to one in Fayette County. At one time he also ran a hotel in Salisbury, Pennsylvania, the Valley House. He was a Republican and a life member of the German Baptist Brethren Church.
