I have two connections to the Wadsworths in Leake and Neshoba, in addition to the Barrett connection. Leah Ernest was the sister of my 3rd great-grandfather, George Ernest. Leah married John Woods Hamil; they were ancestors of James Woods Hamil who married Levicy Ann Wadsworth in Leake Co., Ms. Also, Olie Wadsworth married William Clark. He is a descendant of Isham Ernest and Elizabeth Steen. Isham was a nephew of my George Ernest. Confused yet? Welcome to the extended Barrett family! Karen Hett
