They were from Cabbarrus County, NC. Henry J. Barnhardt’s father and mother were Asa Barnhardt and Lucrissa Suther. Arahanna’s parents were Eunice Fisher and Robard (Robert) Earnhardt. Eunice was born in the little town of Gold hill, NC because her mother, Lucinda Strickland, a widow moved there after her husband, Littleberry Bunn was murdered in Wake Forest for his wallet. Lucinda was a laundress for the miners, who worked the Gold Hill Mines. After Henry’s and Arahanna’s marriage they went by wagon train to Arkansas, finally settling in northern Lee County near the St Francis Co. line. They are buried in LaGrange Cemetery between Marianna, Arkansas and Barton, Arkansas.

Asa Barnhardt was my great great grandfather. So Henry would have been my grandfathers uncle. Thank you so much for posting this picture!
We have a pretty good record going all the way back to Germany in the 1500’s and some info on Asa and his brother Locke in the Civil War.
If you are interested I could send it to you.
Sincerely
Lee Barnhardt
