Bob, I should have mentioned this before. The name of Joseph and Rutha's church was NEW HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH. It evolved into its present name of Bond Baptist Church. The site of the original New Hope Church now is owned by the Pentecostal church (North Bend Pentecostal) located at Section 29-T12N-R13E, Choctaw Baseline & Meridian. There is a cemetery there too. Aunt Eunice Fulton Tingle showed us all the places of her youth and where she went to school near North Bend Methodist Church about 80 years ago. It's all woods now. She told us where the artesian well was at New Hope Baptist Church. This was in 1996 and I'm very sad to say, Aunt Eunice who is now 94, never got to show us where Elisha M. Barrett, her grandfather's house stood. I believe Horace Cumberland lived there later. Merry Christmas and a joyful New Year. Ann L. [email protected] wrote:Marilyn, Thank you so much. I think the area Thomas Barrett lived in was the Coffadeliah Area of Neshoba Co. The same church that Joseph Barrett's wife, Rutha, went to was also his family's church since I have seen reference to him by the Church Committee concerning his habits. I can't think now but think the church was White Oak. Thomas was married to Rutha Moore Barrett's daughter, Rutha Moore.
