John Paul Barringer     Born: 04 Jun 1721, Schweigern, Main-Tauber-Kreis, Baden-Württemberg,GERMANY Died:  01 Jan 1807, Concord, Cabarrus, North Carolina   Johann Paulus Behringer was born 04 Jun 1721 to Wilhelm Barringer/Behringer and Mary Paulina Dekker in Germany.  Johann Paulus was the first to make the voyage to the "New World" in 1743.  He came to Pennsylvania, but soon relocated to North Carolina.     Eventually, like most other Germans and Europeans, he took the Americanized version of his name and became John Paul Barringer.     John Paul was a Captain in the Colonial Militia and a Magistrate of the Crown before the beginning of the Revolutionary War. Being then himself too old for active military duty, aided both his son, Captain John Paul Barringer, and his youngest brother, George Henry Barringer, to organize a company for the American Army. As soon as these troops left, the neighboring Tories raided his house and captured an imprisoned him.   Wheeler's History of N.C.  Vol. 1, Page 67 During tour struggle, he (John Paul Barringer) sided with the friends of liberty. From his devotion to the cause, he was taken prisoner by the Tories and carried to Camden, SC. He was for a long time kept in confinement and was the only one to live to return home.   Rumple's History of Rowan Co, N.C.  Page 142 Major James Smith of Rowan was seized and with Captain John Paul Barringer of Mecklenburg County, and others, was carried to Camden, SC, and imprisoned. Soon Major Smith was attacked with small-pox and died. Captain Barringer was the only survivor among the American Patriots imprisoned at Camden, all the others dying of privation and disease. When released, he had to go home in the same clothes in which he had suffered from small-ox and all his family were attacked. His only other brother, Captain Mathias Barringer (1726-1776), had been killed two years before and a monument to him, and the dead of his company, stands on the Court House Square in Newton, Catawba County, NC.       John Paul Barringer married Catherine Elizabeth Blackwelder about 1777. Catherine was the daughter of Caleb Gottlieb Blackwelder (1722-1794) and Betsy Phifer (1724-1792).       Children of John Paul Barringer and Catherine Blackwelder Name Birth Date Death Date Spouse Gen.
