I'm researching my father's side of my tree. He is Jackson Buell Barnett of Mena, Arkansas. He hasn't given me much to go on, but here it is. > > My Dad, Jackson, was born in a logging community long gone called Stapp,OK.(South of the current Heavener,OK), first child of Charles Preston "Press" Barnett and Jewel Marie Stuart. I have a pretty good start at the Stuart side but have very little info on the Barnett's. > > Press was one of 10 children of Lee b.9/1/1866 and Lena ??? Barnett b.5/3/1881. All that I have been told is that Lee was from the badlands (I assumed the Indian Territories). > > Lee & Lena lived in Blansett Township (Scott County, Arkansas), and the 1920 Census indicated that Lee's father was from Missouri, his Mother from Arkansas, and that he had the following children: > >Bertha b.9/21/1899 >Jeff b.6/28/1900 >Press b.4/15/1902 (Charles Preston Barnett, my Grandfather died in Mena) >Ora b.3/18/1904 >Norah b.4/16/1906 >Grady b.1/24/1908 >Bill b.7/24/1910 (Bill) >Silas b.2/3/1912 (Si) >Tallie b.2/23/1914 (Lola) >Opal b.3/?/1922 > >I believe some of these offspring changed there name to barnard or bernard, but don't know which ones did. I Believe Lee and Lena are buried somewhere in Scott County, Arkansas and were married on Christmas Day, 1896. Any help in tying more info to Lee or Lena Barnett or of their children would be greatly appreciated. > >Thanks, >Steven Ray Barnett >Buda,TX > > > > >
