Hi Alta, I am wondering who Arkansas is living with Elizabeth in the 1870 census. She married a William H. Paul in Rusk County 8/25/1872. It says she is living at home. Could Elizabeth be a widow twice by this time Database: Texas Marriages, 1851-1900 This is what I have found on John Thomas. If it is the right John Thomas. Name: J. T. BARRETT Spouse: ELIZA POST Marriage Date: 8 Dec 1894 County: Bowie State: TX Reba Vera Barrett Birth: 23 Sep 1915 in TX Death: 24 Sep 1985 in Las Cruces, Dona Ana Co., NM Sex: F Father: John Thomas Barrett Mother: Eliza Post Burial: 1985 Las Cruces, Dona Ana Co., NM Spouses & Children Clyde Henry Simpson (Husband) b. 27 Sep 1913 in Linden, Cass Co, TX Children: Shirley Simpson Thomas Clyde Simpson Simpson Simpson - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ----- Original Message ----- From: "aschmer" <aschmer@lakemac.net> To: <BARRETT-REUBEN-SC-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, February 20, 2004 2:13 PM Subject: [Barrett-Reuben-SC] David W. & John G, sons of Albert Gallatin Barret > I am researching two sons of Albert Gallatin Barrett & Sarah Seaton. David William & John George Barrett married Hill sisters. I would appreciate any information on them, especially their deaths. From the year of deaths listed on your website, it would appear David & John were in the Civil War, but I have not found a record for them. The website has David William Barrett died January 27, 1863 in South Bend, Prairie, AR and John George Barrett died May 10, 1862 in Arkansas. > Also, anything on their children will be appreciated: > 1. David William Barrett & Elizabeth A. Hill had 2 children... Mary, born ca Apr 1860 Cherokee Co, TX and Alfred born ca 1862 TX. > 2. John George Barrett & Mary Hill had one son, John Thomas Barrett born 1861 TX. > > Note: The Hill sisters were daughters of Benjamin Hill & Piety Bottoms, my gg-grandparents. > Thank you for any assistance. > Alta > Email: aschmer@lakemac.net > > > ==== BARRETT-REUBEN-SC Mailing List ==== > Barrett Surname DNA Project > http://www.flash.net/~parino/barrett-family-dna-project.htm > > ============================== > Gain access to over two billion names including the new Immigration > Collection with an Ancestry.com free trial.

Hi Debbie, Thank you for the info on John Thomas Barrett & I will try to check it further. I have not found a marriage for Elizabeth Hill, before or after husband, David Barrett. The only information I have on Elizabeth after David Barrett's death is the 1870 Hunt Co, TX census, with their 2 children & Arkansas Dawson. I have not found a family link to Arkansas Dawson either. I appreciate the help you have given, and I will try to find more on her as soon as I am able to research more. I am trying to recover from pneumonia, so haven't been able to do very much. Thank you again. Alta PS: Below is the info I 'now' have on Arkansas Dawson. There are other Dawson families living close to Arkansas Dawson on the 1870 Hunt Co, TX census & the 1880 Rusk Co, TX census that I will try to check later too. ------------------------------------------------ Arkansas Dawson, b. ca 1856 AL, married 25 Aug 1872 Rusk Co, TX to William Henry Paul b. ca 1845 TX.
