Hello again!! OOOPS OOOPS I messed up, missed a page BACKUP to Robert Barnett and Elizabeth Condit Following information from U.S. Adjt. Gen, McCain: Robert Barnett served in Indian wars in 6th ( Barbour's ) Regiment of Kentucky Militia, from Sept 1. to Dec 23, 1812. Robert was married the second time in 1834 to Mrs Elizabeth Bennett who is buried beside him in an unmarked grave in Alexander Cemetery. There were no children by this marriage. Robert's old home place was inherited by my mother's father, grandpappy Bob and grandmammy Betsy, as the grandfather and step-grandmother were called, lived with Robert Emmett and family. Have heard mother speak of them often, and never heard her or anyone say anything in the step-grandmother's praise. She didn't seem to make herself very agreeable. The old house as I remember it seemed was across the road from the place I remember, the latter place having been built by grandfather Robert Emmett, when his two oldest children were quite small. It burned about the year 1911. Elizabeth Condit was a daughter of Uzal and Theodotia Prudden Conditt, was born in Morristown, New Jersey and prior to her marriage was school teacher. Her death was quite sudden and it was always thought she had been poisoned by one of the slaves. There is a genealogy of the Conditt family. I have seen a copy in the Newberry library, Chicago. The Condits are of Welsh extraction and the genealogy is quite an interesting work. The line is given as follows: Peter, Peter again, Joseph,Uzal,Elizabeth. John Condit. father of the first mentioned Peter, came from Wales, settled in New Jersey in 1678. This genealogy includes the above family and states that Elizabeth's husband, Robert Barnett, was born in Virginia. Robert Barnett was County Surveyor of Ohio County for thirty years. U.S. Census records for the year 1820 shows this Robert Barnett as a farmer between 26 and 45 and wife between 16 and 26 and 2 sons under 10 and 1 daughter under 10, and 2 slaves. Joseph Condit, Elvira Theodotia, Robert Emmett, Elizabeth C. are buried at Alexander Cemetery Robert's second wife, Mrs Elizabeth Allen Bennett, was a granddaughter of Col. Etnan Allen Robert's tombstone inscription shows he was born in Amherst County, Virginia March 24, 1784. He came to Kentucky from Virginia in 1788 with his father's family, according to records of his son Joseph appearing in Battle's and History of Kentucky. Besides several small parties and companies who joined the cavalry expeditions into the Indian territory, Ohio County raised three companies during the war of 1812. One accompanied General Samuel Hopkins up the Wabash River and the other Governor Isaac Shelby to the Battle of the Thames, and another was under General Andrew Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans. The company under General Hopkins, commanded by Captain Robert Barnett, was thought to be one of the most reliable and well-disciplined in the army. It was selected and prepared for critical and dangerous occasions, but never met the enemy. Elizabeth Condit Barnett was a scholar, having been educated in the East. She was a school teacher. Elizabeth Condit's mother's name was Theodotia Pruden. so very sorry I messed up must be more careful Barbara Barnett Gartrell Barb, does this family belong to someone??????
