I was wondering do you have any Barretts with: George W. Barrett born cir 1784 NC/SC that came to Mississippi, lived in the Lawrence CO., and Copiah Co., Ms. areas....removed to La. prior to 1840 since he and his son George Henry Barrett were both listed on the 1840 Catahoula Par., La Census. My gr gr grandmother was St.Helena Barrett born cir 1825 Ms. married 5-6-1842 Caldwell Par., La. to Richard Nelson, stated in the marriage license that they were both residents of Catahoula Par., La. I really believe that she is the dtr or grandaughter of George W. Barrett and his wife Sara. (lnu)... George W. Barrett & wife Sarah are listed on the 1850 Jackson Par., La. federal census with my Richard and St.Helena Barrett Nelson not far from them...also they are land records between George W. Barrett & my Richard Nelson... There were other Barretts in the same Parish: Nathaniel Barrett married to Mary Ann "Polly" (LNU) (removed to Texas via: 1860 Smith Co., Tx. then to1870 & 1880 Dallas Co., Tx. where he died) Bethena Barrett married Thomas Honea (she was living w/ George W. & Sarah along w/ a dtr of hers) (stayed in Louisiana died somewhere in Rapides Par., La. I think) Sarah Barrett married to Marion C. Wheat (died in Grant Par., La) Mahala Barrett married to WIlliam Bailey (died in Rapides or Grant Par., La) Bathsheba "Barshaby" Barrett married to James Edward Lyons (removed to Tx. died and buried In Smith Co.,Tx) Delilah Barrett married John Dunn (removed to Tx. via: 1860 Parker Co., Tx. 1870 McLennan Co., Tx. believed to be buried in Montague Co., Tx.) The above listed barretts were all in 1850 Jackson Par., La. Federal Census along w/ my Richard & St.Helena Barrett Nelson (they removed to Tx. by 1860 Nacogdoches per tax record only - then 1870 Hill Co., Tx. and then back to 1880 Nacogdoches Co., Tx. where they died cir 1896 and buried in Cushing, Tx.) Other Barretts that were around them in other areas are: Midberry Barrett married a William Dunn (possible bro to John Dunn) married in Copiah or Lawrence Co., Ms lived in 1850 Catahoula Par., La. and stayed there till they died) Milly Barrett married a John Aarons (married in Copiah or Lawrence Co., MS. can not find them on 1850 census but on 1860 Denton Co., Tx. AND from what I understand they went back to La. or Ark but can not find them on census George Henry Barrett married Sarah Honea (sister to Thomas Honea) they moved back to Copiah Co., Ms. to be by her parens Wilkes and Celia Ann Smith Honea and later by 1880 moved back to Grant Par., La. where they died There was a Salathiel W. Barrett that married a Nancy Myles in Copiah or Lawrence Co., Ms. around the other ones that married there but can not find any record on this couple at all.... Well, I know I have given you more info than you probably wanted to read but I am Desperate LOL the only male lines are the George W. Barrett born cir 1784, George Henry Barret born cir 1820/s and Nathaniel Barrett born cir 1819 and this Salathiel W. Barrett that I can not find ..... Hoping that you may have some good news for me.... Gale Cole-Creel
