Rumor has it that Leroy's folks came from Alabama but I haven't been able to research that far yet...
My last name is Barefield and I'm from Alabama. There are a lot of us here, at least as far as I can research. It seems that the Barefield name goes back to the first settlements in America. The name came from England and dates to around 1066 (Battle of Hastings).
