Stier and Barbour Families

 

The Stier family is first found in Frederick County, Maryland. The progenitors in Maryland were Jacob Stier and his wife Barbara Muellerin.  Jacob and Barbara were probably German, either immigrants themselves or descendants of the German Palatine settlers of Frederick County.  Their children moved west and south. Those that stayed in Frederick County married descendants of old Maryland families--the "Anne Arundel Gentry"--such as Burgess, Chew, Carroll, Maccubbin, Mackelfresh, Dorsey, Hammond, etc.  Later Stier descendants moved to Baltimore and Washington DC.

Achsah Barbour was the second wife of Hamilton Stier.  Her father was Johnzy Barbour. I have been unable to find his family. Her mother was Catherine Longsworth, daughter of Solomon Longsworth and Lucy Nelson.

According to Names in Stone, Johnzy Barbour is buried with his second wife Sarah Rebecca Beavens at St. Peter's Catholic Churchin Libertytown.  I couldn't find his grave, but some pictures...

Burgess and other "Anne Arundel Gentry" Families

Nancy Burgess, wife of Henry Stier, was descended from many of the founding families of Anne Arundel County--and thus of Maryland--including Burgess, Griffith, Maccubbin, Mackelfresh, Chew, Dorsey, Hammond, and many others.
