Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit !!! I must have somehow missed John & Rita's original letter, I will have to go check the archives for it! I am also related to this family, through Virginia Polk McGuire-Barnett, daughter of Preston and Elizabeth. Virginia married my GrGrGrandfather, Silas L. Barnett, in Yell Co. They are both buried in Russell Cemetery, just outside of Havana, AR. You can check out the information I have on this family at: http://www.geocities.com/grannys_trunk/1-SLB.html Don't know if I have much more than you do, but you might wanna take a peek.
