I found this looking for Kelly's for my sister in law. This may help this person find information, oddly I have found information thru the Galveston Daily News that I would never have thought. It surprises me to have lived in Galveston thirty nine years and then leave the area to find it played such a large part of history as being a port. Of course this doesn't mean they stayed there any length of time but is may have some importance. Have a good day Deb Ancestral Endeavor by Michael A.

Is this part of our family? This was posted on the Reuben Barrett Query forum. I tried to make the posts come to the list, but I can't figure out how to do it, I will keep working on it. If this is our line could someone in the same line please let her know?

My mother was born Carlie Edna Barrett on Sept. 13, 1907, d Sept 20, 1971, in Hattiesburg, Forrest County, MS. Her parents were John Ezra Barrett, b Nov 29, 1874, in Jones City, possibly, Wayne County, MS; and Mary Catherine Graham, Barrett, b Sept 12, 1874 in Newton County, MS, d Oct 18, 1917 in Hattiesburg, MS. As you can see, they died when their children were young therefore all 5 living children were sent to an orphanage in Jackson, MS. My G-grandfather was Benjamin Franklin Barrett, b. Aug 28, 1835 in Jones County, MS, d Aug 1916 in Eucutta, Wayne, MS. He was married to Martha E. Gatlin, b. Jul 20, 1849 in MS. She died on Jul 22, 1885 in Jones Co. MS. Benjamin Franklin and Martha E. had the following children: N. B. Barrett, b in 1871 in MS. William Franklin Barrett, b 1873 or 1874 in MS John Ezra Barrett Nancy L. Barrett, b 1877 in MS Thomas Jefferson Barrett, b Mar 17, 1885 in Hattiesburg, MS d Mar 24, 1946 in Hattiesburg, MS. Christopher Columbus Barrett, b 1882 in Wayne County, MS, d May 14, 1952 in Hattiesburg, MS. I do have more information on the Graham branch and the Gatlin branch, but I think this is sufficient for you to let me know if there is any connection between the Reuben Barrett branch and my branch. Your help will be appreciated

Janet, My prayers and love go out to your brother and his family.He will be remembered with love and in prayer at our church. Take care. Love, Gaye

Janet I was sadden to hear about your brother. I am glad he wasn't hurt any worse than he was. When I was eleven my fannel night gown caught fire from the fire place and I had first,second and third degree burns from my right ankle to my neck. We lived on a ranch on the west end of Galveston and mom had planted aloe plants everywhere. The doctor told her that it is what kept me from scaring. It also relieved a lot of the pain.She disobeyed the doctor's instructions and medications and would cut those plant leaves open and lay them all over my leg and back twice a day. The first degree burns hurt the worse because third degree apparently does nerve damage. When the feeling starts coming back the third will really hurt. The doctor was amazed how fast I healed. The aloe is messy and feels like you are laying in boiled okra but it really does help. I hope he doesn't suffer too much and will back to himself soon. It is very frightening to be burned by fire and my heart goes out to him.

Jim, Marilyn and everyone else, I am so proud that this DAR ceremony is going to take place for Reuben. We all have worked so hard in the last few years to bring his life recognition again. And to make his life a lasting remembrance after 200 years of sleeping. He has gone from descendants scattered throughout the US not really knowing each other to having a warm loving family again. From two small stones with their initials on them to a beautiful headstone that will be able to be seen for generations to come and now with the loving care of Marilyn and Jim, his military career will stand in marble so those same generations may hold their heads up proud and know that we even after 200 years are proud of our grandfather. He received the "funeral service " he should have gotten the first time around two years ago, and now he will receive the Military Service he should have gotten then also. He was a wonderful, caring man when he lived, it is only fitting that we all show him that even after 200 years his blood has passed on to many many more wonderful caring generations of grandsons and granddaughters. My heart is truly touched to know that I am one of those Granddaughters and that I am a part of this loving caring family. I want so much to be there and to be a part of this ceremony, and will do everything I can to be there, as I hope everyone else will be. If not, then please know that Marilyn said she would record the ceremonies and make it available for our family website so all of us can share in it. Marilyn, Jim I am very proud of both of you. Hugs, Janet

Marilyn Dowdy has come through again!!!! She has managed to put the big pot in the little pot! A small portion of her last message to me: "Elizabeth Sutton has rounded up a bunch of DAR 'importants' and has made arrangements for a color guard & rifle salute from Furman U., and has sent me a "DAR Ritual" ceremony specifically for this event." If you are a member of the DAR through Reuben or you know of anyone who is, please send their name to Marilyn. I'm sure she would rather have some duplicate names rather than to miss anyone. Once again, "THANK YOU!! MARILYN" Jim Barrett Bedford, TX

Thank you, cousin and the feeling is mutual. Take care. As ever, A Barrett cousin, Gaye

I never knew where they went after they left Neshoba County. Many years ago a lady transcribed Leanna's name as Laurissa from census records and sent it to LDS in Salt Lake City, so it got worldwide circulation. Green and Leanna must have married before 1877 when marriage records for Neshoba County are now available. Courthouse fire got those earlier ones. Green and Leanna are mentioned together in Good Hope Baptist Church records so I assumed they got married in Neshoba County. As for how the couple met, Green is a brother of Harriet Young who married William Grant Barrett, son of Arthur (b 1798). He spent some time in Neshoba County and was on a deed with Arthur Barrett once. Wiley Young and family had moved up to Newton County by 1850. Green's brother Lewis Young was with him in Company A, 33rd MS Infantry Regiment where William Grant and Arthur served. I am the great-granddaughter of William G. and Harriet Young Barrett. Their youngest daughter Ritha Ann (1876-1960) was my grandmother. She married William Robert Tingle of Neshoba County, MS, in 1895. Do you know whether Green and Leanna went to Cleburne with relatives, or perhaps joined someone already in Texas? Leanna's brother, Benjamin Bird Barrett went to TX after the Civil War and is buried in Montague County at Old Spanish Fort Cemetery near the Red River. He first was in Milam and McLennan Counties, TX. I'm glad that at long last someone has confirmed that Leanna's name is not Laurissa. The above is from memory.

Guess I'm worse off than I thougjht. When I read my note to Gaye I said my name was Joan Barrett May - it's not - it's Joan Barrett Blanks.

Gaye, My sister, Jean Barrett May and I, Joan Barrett May are both members of DAR, Chief Red Jacket Chapter, Brandon, Ms. and our ancestor is Reuben Barrett. Congratulations.

Just a reminder that we will be dedicating the DAR marker for Reuben at 2:00 pm May 22, at the cemetery. Everyone is invited. I received confirmation today that the DAR marker has been attached to the stone. I still don't know what is will cost us to have the marker attached. When we were there last year the man who was suppose to drill the mounting hole retired after having a hip ball joint replacement. The local monument company was unable to find anyone else to drill the holes so they took the stone back to Georgia to have that done. Susan, the preacher's wife, had Jake, the preacher, go to the cemetery this morning to check on the stone. He reports that he believes we will be very pleased. We are truly blessed to be dealing with this church and church family. Gerry, congratulations. We'll wave as we pass through the Clinton area Saturday, May 15. Jim Barrett Bedford, TX
