Maxine (or anyone else), In your Barnett research have you run across any Levi Barnett's? My gg grandfather, Levi Barnett, was born in Perry Co., AL in 1835, died in Perry Co., AL in 1919, married Margaret Morrison in Perry Co., 1859. or, maybe a male Barnett born around 1795 in Georgia married to a woman named Frances (or Francis, I've seen it spelled both ways), Frances was a widow who lived in Perry Co. AL from at least 1850 - 1870, so I'm assuming that she died between 1870 and 1880. These are Levi's (above) parents. I have really hit a brick wall with this branch.
