Despite the information given on the the birth, death and marriage certificates of George Henry BARFOOT about his father being John BARFOOT, DNA testing in 2015 by a grandson, Andrew Barfoot, has found that the natural father of George Henry BARFOOT can only be Isabella's husband Joseph WATSON. Therefore people previously thought to BARFOOT descendants are in fact WATSON descendants, although they carried the surname BARFOOT. [Andrew Barfoot]
