My Grandmother Barber was probably best classed as a "good plain cook", though any real specific memories have faded. She did really like coconut, though, and I recall coconut cakes and coconut pies eaten at her house. Her sister Fan, though--the caramels were a small part of Fan's repertoire.
If your Barber relations came from Onslow County, NC, we might have something. The group that came to Georgia was pretty small and stayed pretty close, so that's less likely. Might be fun to try and track back a ways!
