I have records that show that Patsey (Martha?) BARNETT (Born Mar 1787, Died Feb 1824) married Stephen Hall Winstead (Born 1782) on May 12, 1807 in Person County, North Carolina. They lived in Daviess County KY. I have a marriage index record on this (I need to follow through on this). I have found other people's records show that Stephen Hall Winstead's first wife's name was Patse y or Martha MCFARLAND - ? - perhaps MCFARLAND is a middle name or a mother's maiden name. Everything I have found indicates that BARNETT is correct. Other records show that Stephen Hall WINSTEAD later married Sarah (Sally) BARNETT (Born Feb 1798 in Person County NC, Died August 1884 in Daviess County KY). It seems to me that Patsey (Martha?) BARNETT and Sarah (Sally) BARNETT are probably related. I would really love to hear from someone that could give me some insight. It looks like I need to make a trip to North Carolina and it would be great to go with a little more information. I could then share any additional information that I found. Thank you very much for your time and effort in this effort (ahead of time) Sincerely - nanc innes [email protected]

I'd like to share with you a true story, which I have added to my Family History book I'm working on. Now my cousin is from the Barnett/Malicoat/Davis/Blackwell lineage. His great grandparents were: John Barnett b. 1829 Scott Co., VA, d 1901 OK & Elizabeth A. Johnson b. 1826 VA. d 1883 Rockcastle Co., KY My mom's double cousin, Calvin Davis, Sr.'s wife wife, Lillian died 10-01-1995 Fresno, CA, six weeks later Calvin Sr passed away leaving an only child, Calvin Davis,Jr. Cal,Jr's wife Jan was in a hospital in LA not doing well at all, we didn't know if she would make it and if Cal,Jr. would face yet losing another loved one. Being the only cousin within miles and knew his parents so well, I stepped in to give my cousin what love and support I could, I had taken on a load, cleaning out his parents place, finding insurance policies, etc. The time came that I had to go through all the property, walked into the two car garage and almost had a heart attack myself. From wall to wall, bottom to top was nothing but old TV sets, boxes and boxes of tubes etc. I didn't know where to start, there wasn't even room to try to park any car there. What a job it was going to be I thought to myself, the house wasn't up to codes etc. To make a long story short, Cal went on to visit his wife and I got it all taken care of. Two months ago, Cal,Jr's wife wrote these two in memories of and now I would like to share with you all. I think back and tears now comes to my eyes, how did Jan know and here's her words. Jan is a very ill lady, but she wants to help with our family history and she has. She writes: The Master's Tree The Master of the forest stroll's through His fine creation. It is now time to remove another one of His special trees. This wonderful specimen He had designed for His purpose. The tree had borne much good fruit. It had developed a disease that had left this once beautiful tree worn out and the leaves were beginning to sag under the strain of the disease. The fruit still glistens in the sun. Anyone passing by can see he rich full fruit and barely notice the drooping leaves and the falling bark. Since the Master's plan in this tree's life has been fulfilled, He wants this creation that was made in His own image to go to the Eternal Forest. To be planted in his Forest and Garden of Beauty is a desire of all His trees. Thus one morning the Master quietly sends His men who serve as angels, they gently remove the tree. All the forest surrounding stands and watches with sadness. But the Master has not let the tree die, Rather, He replants it. A lonely tree had stood close to the one removed. He had been there side by side of the tree before the tree had the disease and after it had consumed the tree. He heard no complaints. He had seen the marvelous fruit. His heart was overwhelmed by this tree that had claimed his heart. This tree that had been taken had borne this younger tree and had led him to the Master. The Master stands close by as the tree grieves. Then He ever so gently speaks, "Son, I had only let you have the tree for a while. It really belonged to me att the time," Now months have passed, the tree is still lonely but with each passing day he feels peace inside and less angry about losing his tree. The tree realizes that his life must go on. He knows he will always remember his tree, The best way to go on is continue to bear his fruit. Someday when he is replanted he will see the tree once again. The tree at last feels a breath of fresh air blowing through the forest. With this movement on this very still day, the tree senses that his beloved tree brings him a sign; a sign of assurance that he will always have his tree close in his heart. He can now grieve a little less. In memory of Lillian Davis by Jan Davis July 18, 1996 Tubes For The Master The young lad stood inside a garage filled with what appeared to him to be junk. He look around and shook his head. Why would anyone want to save such unbelievable stuff. "Yes," he said to himself, "all these old television and radio tubes are just junk. As he turned to leave his father strolling in with his hand full of more of his collection of tubes. "Dad, why are you saving all these tubes, Please explain the purpose to me." "Son, let's set here on this crate, and I'll tell you my story." He paused as if in thought, reach up into an old can, brought out an old tube, set it beside his son, then began his story. "A long time ago, Son, I was like this old tube. I was dirty, cracked and useless. There was nothing inside that worked, I had been tossed aside as an old piece of forgotten junk. One day a wonderful think took place. A man who called himself Jesus picked me up. He changed me from inside out. I now had the power that shone through me with a light that was like no other. I no longer felt dirty. In an instant I was clean. I did still have some cracks on the outside. Jesus, who was now of my entire life, told me the cracks were part of my personality, and in due time, He would use them for His purpose. One of the cracks was lack of education, but He told me He'd use me even though the crack was still there. He asked me if I'd help Him find other tubes and bring them to Him. I hesitated, but the Master reminded me of how Moses could not always speak so, at times, He used Aaron to speak for him. I'll give you someone to help you and stand with you. He did. Son, that someone was your mom. Together we went looking for tubes for Christ. Those tubes, like these, became like a family, a family in Christ. These tubes,"he paused and waved his hand over the entire collection, "represent some we've gathered for the Master's Kingdom. The tubes comes in many sizes and shapes. Some have rough places on them. Some are real smooth. But they all have a place in God's Kingdom. Some of these tubes are still blank on the inside, no light coming from them, useless. I'll keep showing them my light until my Master calls me into His Kingdom. When I do, Son, you must carry on. It's simple. You shed your light. Other tubes will follow your light to Him. Son, do you want to be a useful tube?" "Yes, Dad," said the son. The father replied, "Tell Christ to light your inside with His light," The son did just that. Tubes, tubes, tubes. Dad gave his many years to searching out, preaching, praying, and living the light of Christ. His light is still burning, but it is to be seen in his beloved Master's Mansion. It shines ever so brightly. It is so beautiful; no cracks, no flaws, no disease, no disabilities. He is pure through and through. But, he's not alone. Right beside him is his beautiful soul mate that God found for him. The son now misses his dad, but he no longer looks at his dad's tubes as junk. They are very precious indeed. He will show his light and someday take his place beside his beloved dad and mom and all the other tubes they had found and showed the light to.

>From Noble County, OH cemetery inscriptions Sarahsville Cemetery also known as Nichelson Cemetery: Enoch BARNETT s/o Thomas and Mary Ann 12 Nov 1851 ae 2.2.14

The Old Grandfather A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year-old grandson. The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth. The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. "We must do something about Grandfather," said the son. "I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor." So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl. When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction, sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The four-year-old watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. he asked the child sweetly, "What are you making?" Just as sweetly, the boy responded, "Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up." The four-year-old smiled and went back to work. The words so struck the parents that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table. For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.

LIFE IN THE 1500'S (Reportedly from the Medieval Genealogy Network) Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May and were still smelling pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Baths equaled a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men. Then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By that time the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water." Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw, piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the pets-dogs, cats and other small animals, mice, rats, bugs-lived in the roof. When it rained, it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying, "It's raining cats and dogs." There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could really mess up your nice clean bed. So, they found if they made beds with big posts and hung a sheet over the top, it addressed that problem. Hence those beautiful big four-poster beds with canopies. The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt, hence the saying "dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors which would get slippery in the winter when wet. So they spread thresh on the floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they kept adding more thresh until when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed at the entry way, hence a "thresh hold". They cooked in the kitchen in a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They mostly ate vegetables and didn't get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes the stew had food in it that had been in there for a month. Hence the rhyme: "peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old." Sometimes they could obtain pork and would feel really special when that happened. When company came over, they would bring out some bacon and hang it to show it off. It was a sign of wealth and that a man "could really bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and "chew the fat." Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with a high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food. This happened most often with tomatoes, so they stopped eating tomatoes... for 400 years. Most people didn't have pewter plates, but had trenchers-a piece of wood with the middle scooped out like a bowl. Trenchers were never washed and a lot of times worms got into the wood. After eating off wormy trenchers, they would get "trench mouth." Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the "upper crust". Lead cups were used to drink ale or whiskey. The combination would sometimes knock them out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a "wake". England is old and small and they started running out of places to bury people. So, they would dig up coffins and would take their bones to a house and re-use the grave. In reopening these coffins, one out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they thought they would tie a string on their wrist and lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night to listen for the bell. Hence on the "graveyard shift" they would know that someone was "saved by the bell" or he was a "dead ringer".

Hi list, Does anyone have documentation on land in Virginia and Tennessee being awarded in the same manner for service in the Revolutionary War? Linda

In the book, "MD Soldiers Entitled to Lands West of Ft. Cumberland" by Betty Carothers (1973) she explains that in the Nov session of 1781, the General Assembly of MD appropriated all the vacant lands Westward of Fort Cumberland for the benefit of the Maryland soldiers and officers who fought in the Revolution. This land is located within the present boundaries of Alleghany and Garrett Co., MD. The land was to be laid out in 50 acres each, by a competent person in 1787. By 1788, the task was accomplished. The Hall of Records in Annapolis, MD can supply more information in regard to this matter.

I am sorry I am just now answering Carolyn's question of Oct 29th. She wanted to know what the balance books tell us in response to some abstracts I sent the list on Sept 30, 1999. I quote from V.L. Skinner, Jr.: "The Probate records of the Prerogative court of MD contain several types of records: testamentary proceedings, wills, administration accounts, inventories, inventories & accounts, & distributions. Each kind of record has value for the genealogist. Prior to 1777, all probate records were required to be filed with the Prerogative Court of MD. The Balance Books are a separate series of probate records established in 1751 and continued until 1777. They are closely aligned with the accounts whereas, the accounts are a citation of payments from the estate (and in some cases, distributions). The Balance Books show how the remainder of the estate had been distributed to the heirs or representatives, after all of the payments had been made." Hope that helps with understanding the books.

Hello Barnett's, I was in Portland Ore at the Forum a number of yrs back just after the Forum finialy got around to doing the book on William and John Barnett from the imfo that the College Professor in Eugene , or.spent his life last of 1800's and first 40 Yrs + of 1900's collecting . There were old letters written on both sides of the paper, hand copied copies of wills, etc. and lots of letters from families who knew what they were saying etc. Old papers etc. I think it was a shambles the way the letters were all cut apart with writting on both sides, etc. Pasted to other sheets of paper. There is some good in the book but by the time they got to it with the abt 1500.00 left to do it about 5 t0 8 or so yrs after his death, there wasn't enough money so all the pictures and lot's of things were left out as I was told. I saw a 4 drawer file cabinent full of all this materials and spent 5 days going through it. I missed a letter that has imfo on my William S Barnett of York Co S C and went back spent several more days and couldn't find it again. At the time , and I bought 2 of the books, I couldn't find any connection except to Wm S Barnett later. I do not know what they did with all the 4 drawers of papers but several yrs later I went back again and those in there didn't know what they had done with them. I was appauled at the way they cut those letters apart and all. It just made me SICK. GOOD imfo because they didn't know what they were doing all of them. I am still sick. Can hardly bear to think of what I saw destroyed. Was anyone else there or seen the 4 drawer file cabinment full of Barnett gen ? I remember someone telling me some yrs back before Computor's. that they did. Well I just got abt 60 pages from S C and am going over them and mine are in there, not all but a good start for completeing the gen. Hope to be able to put in Web site for others. I saw mention of this book by some others and also in the Barnett E's group which i couldn't get into, to send this message there. I think I would have to recheck most of this book to accept a lot of it sorry to say. At least gives places to start. If you saw what I saw with all this Gen, I wonder what the rest of you would say. The Forum moved some yrs back and I haven't been back since. It does have a lot of books etc. and probably lots more. Maxine in wa [email protected]
