Hi marsha I don't know if this could help my ggggrandfather was Berry W. Barnett I am hoping to find out that his father was Elijah Barnett. Berry W. had a daughter Martha born abt. 1844 in GA. Although he did live out his last yeaars in Ala. on the 1880 census he was in Ala. in Etwoah county. I know in 1860 he had 8 children at home one could would have been Martha beings she was only 16 years old then. But in 1860 they were in Polk county Ga. If Elijah lived there he would have been her grandfather which was very common for elderly parents to live with their children. But I think Elijah would have been abt. 84 then. Mic Barnette who writes a genealogy column in the Houston Chronicle put me on to Elijah Barnett possibly being Berry W.'s father. Carolyn Stephenson
