In each of the following the "Barrett Branch Number" is first followed by the number of male Barretts tested for that line followed by the "OLDEST KNOWN ANCESTOR". SC-1, 6, Reuben Barrett, died Mar 3, 1814, Greenville Co, South Carolina, USA SC-2, 1, Arthur Barrett, born 1770, died 1845, Greenville Co., South Carolina, USA SC-3, 1, Jesse Barrett, born 1767c, died 1823, Southampton Co., Virginia, USA SC-4, 1, Solomon Barrett, born 1850, Charleston, South Carolina, USA SC-5, 1, Wesley Barrett, born 1808c SC, died June 18, 1881, Lancaster Co., South Carolina, USA PA-1, 2, Samuel C. Barrett Sr., Born Feb 21, 1758, Cumberland Co., Pennsylvania, USA PA-2, 1, Ezra Nathanial Barrett, born 1860c, Bradford Co., Pennsylvania, USA NC-1, 1, David Barrett, died May 1845, Gibson Co., Tennessee, USA TN-1, 1, Thomas Barrett, died 1855, Hawkins Co., Tennessee, USA TN-2, 1, Thomas Barrett, married July 18, 1803, Sumner Co., Tennessee, USA TN-3, 1, Leroy W. Barrett, born Mar 29, 1818 & died Apr 6, 1900 in Bedford Co., Tennessee, USA KY-1, 1, Henry Barrett, born 1846, Clay Co., Tennessee, USA Eng-1, 1, Richard Barrett, born Jan 24, 1816, Andover, Hampshire, England Eng-2, 2, Thomas E. Barrett Sr., born Mar 15, 1775 in England, died Apr 8, 1866, Tazwell Co., Virginia, USA Eng-3, 1, Benjamin (Baker) Barratt, born 1802c in England UK-1, 1, Edward Albert Barrett, born Aug 7, 1869 and died Jan 29, 1907 in Camberwell, Surrey, England The "BARRETT BRANCH" SC-1, SC-2, SC-3, SC-4 and SC-5 shows that these five Barrett family branches, in South Carolina, are not related to each other. It is possible, if more English branches are tested, that a USA Branch could show relationship to an English Branch through the DNA testing even though the paper trail linking them is non-existent. If those of you that have been tested will send me your name and Kit Number, I may be able to supply the paper trail to others searching the same Barrett ancestors. It wouldn't be the first time that I connected cousins together that previously did not know each other. I wish I had a record of how many cousins I have been able to connect through the "Barrett Register". Through the register I have connected cousins, Aunts and Uncles and even step-siblings. I am impatiently waiting for the results of my own DNA test. I will share the results and experience with you in a later newsletter. The "Barrett Surname DNA Project" is administered by Jim Barrett of Bedford,Texas, USA. Here is the last bulletin sent out by Jim to those who have had their DNA tested. Date: Wednesday, April 07, 2004 Our web page has been updated with the addition of kit 17309. We still have a 37 marker upgrade that is past due and a 25 marker kit that is due tomorrow. Do hold your breath, but maybe things are turning around. One of our members has suggested, and I agree that it would be helpful, to add additional information about our lines. This additional data would be linked to from the current page. In my case, I'd add information about each generation of my family down to my grandfather. Information to be included would be whatever is known of name, date and place of birth and date and place of death. If someone connects with your family, but doesn't have their information back far enough to connect with the ancestor listed, this could be very helpful to them and maybe to you. If you are interested, please send the information. Thanks to all for your interest and comments.
