Deb, Is there anything else your Dad remembers about him? I would love to hear any stories he remembers. Steve's son William Barrett was my great grandfather, Louie Barrett was my grandfather, they were both born in Madisonville. Maybe your Dad remembers them? It is a very intresting story, I can't wait to get it all typed up to share it with everyone. Hugs, Janet

Dad passed away three years ago but told all of us kids many stories, He was born in 1909 in the Greenbrier Community right up the road from the Greenbrier cemetery. He told us the story of the horse thief as some referred to Stephen Barrett. He said there were a few who still called him that even after death but that my grandfather Benjamin Franklin Risinger stood up for him one day in Church and said Robt had been framed. That is so ironic how there were others that used that same statement" Framed". Mom remembers Louie Barrett from family get togethers,they were cousins and were the same age. She said they called him Frank or Frankster when they were kids. This may be your Louie .Hard to think of my 82 years old mom ever being a kid. We are off to a wedding in Marble Falls but I will call mom tomorrow and pick her brain on some of the stories about family on your down line. Mom was born in Connors in 1921 but they moved to Myrtle Beach for a year or two before moving back to Madisonville and that is where she met dad Love Deb ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 07, 2003 11:15 PM Subject: Re: [Barrett-Reuben-SC] Steven Barrett was innocent!!!! > In a message dated 3/7/03 10:25:53 PM Central Standard Time, > [email protected] writes: > > > > Dad told us the > > family stood behind him and always knew he was innocent. > > Deb, > Is there anything else your Dad remembers about him?
