Gaye, I am the great nephew of Susan Margaret Mitchell Barrett, w/o Richard Stancil Barrett, s/o John Napoleon. Aunt Susie is the sister of my GGrandfather, William James Mitchell. All my Mitchell's are originally from TN and lived in Madison County since just before 1850. No Choctaw Mitchell's in our line to my knowledge. Looks like the Cleveland Courthouse & Library is going to be much more important stop than I'd originally planned. My Mitchell Grandparents lived in the Cleveland area most of their lives. My dad was born in Ruleville and all are buried in Drew. I've tried finding a Boyle Cem. in the LDS and Newberry libraries but to no avail. Perhaps one doesn't exist and my walk-thru the cem. may be the start of one. That Mayes name rings a bell with me, but I don't know why. I'll look around my den to see if I can find why. Are you aware of a discrepancy re Rutha Cabiness Moore Barrett's place of burial? Has anyone ever actually seen her tombstone? I have a note in my file that she's buried in Anding, Forsyth Co., GA., but I'm not sure where the note came from, nor did I ever look up Anding to see if it actually existed. Today the question of her interment came up and I learned there is no Anding anywhere in the U.S. except for Yazoo County, MS. Looks like I'll be taking a walk in Anding come May......

I will gladly pay any fees and cost of your help. I would like to find the graves of William Mayes b.Feb.27,1841 (!843)-d.Feb.27,1918. buried in Rosedale.(John Hugh Mayes' father), Miles Barrett,his wife, Lula Irby Barrett- his daughter, Ora Barrett, and Birch Barrett,his son.Miles' family is said to be buried in Boyle,Mississippi. Perhaps the library there would have a cemetery listing. I'd like to get the whole cemetery listing. Als, keep an eye out for the son of olly Barrett and John Hugh Mayes, Norman Mayes. He died after the 1920 since fe was listed on that census as 3years and 3 months old. He died young. I assume he would be in the Boyle cemetery since that's where Grandmother was born. How are you related to the Barretts? Any data will be deeply appreciated. Thank you for yopur kindness, Gaye (Mayes) Hall P.S. Are you related to the Mitchell family from the Stewart,Choctaw Conty, MS.?? ==== BARRETT-REUBEN-SC Mailing List ==== Reuben Barrett Family Website http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~barrettbranches Look For your Reuben Barrett Ancestor Page Here ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237
