Hi Darlene. Thank you for that interesting bit of information. I haven't heard that one before. John Barefoot is a difficult name to research, because there are so many of them! In regards to the Indian connection, all evidence shows that the North Carolina Barefoots came to the United States from England. They came onto Surry County, Virginia originally, and our name andto our family line is not Indian. There are records of Indians named Barefoot as well in the Cherokee scrolls, but most of the Barefoots across the U.S. come from the English settlers in Va and Nc. We always thought we were Indian too, but research proves otherwise. Look up "Old Noah" Barefoot for more info.
