She married Conrad Barnhart, 7 Nov 1780, Shenandoah, VA.∼The pioneer mother of seventeen known children and only wife of Conrad Barnhart. The daughter of Abraham GeFellers and Mary Magdalene Huber and a great grandaughter of Hans Huber very early Swiss Mennonite immigrant to Lancaster County, Pa. It is thought that Barbara and Conrad are buried in a family plot on the farm known to family as Horse Creek Farm where they lived out their days in the Horse Creek/ Chuckey community in Greene County, Tn. There is the possibility they are in the Ebenezer Cemetery which does hold the earthly remains of two children and also friends and family known to Barbara and Conrad.
Ebenezer is a short distance from the farm location, but the gravestones or fieldstones have long since disappeared from either location. DAR states that "the grave is marked", meaning that DAR placed a Revolutionary War marker on the gravesite, however, it is unknown when that was done and thus far no one has found the plaque. DAR is known for marking the graves of Patriots. This would have been done by a local chapter, possibly in the 1950's.
It is likely that if the grave had in fact been marked as stated and placed in a kept cemetery such as Ebenezer, the marker would still be there. A marker placed in a field plot would have disappeared possibly to time and the plow.
