Now that we have "new" cousins on the list, I thought I should put out another plea for help on Sandel Barrett. He, somehow, fits into the MS clan. Here are the facts that I can document: Sandel Barrett born: Dec. 26, 1907 died: Nov. 19, 1959 in Columbus, Muscogee County, GA buried: Parkhill Cemetery, Columbus, GA married: Elizabeth Jane (Janie) Smith My father remembers that Sandel was stationed at Ft. Benning, GA. He was a career officer in the U. S. Army. He met and married Janie Smith in Columbus, GA. When he retired from the Army, he remained in Columbus. He died at the military hospital at Ft. Benning. Sandel Barrett had a brother who, possibly (?), lived in LA. His sister was raised in an orphanage in Meridian, MS. When she was 18, she was released from the orphanage & visited her brother in Columbus, GA. She returned to live either with her other brother or in Meridian, MS. From what my father can remember, Sandel's parents must have died in the early to mid 1930s. I do not know the names of his parents or his siblings. If any of you know how this Sandel Barrett fits into our puzzle, will you please email me? I'd like to give this Barrett cousin a "home" in my data base. Thanks, Ann (Smith) Cummings

Hi Ann, My line is Reuben, David, John Whitten, David Albert, William Anthony, and my mother Mildred Barrett Risinger. Since I am fairly new at this I am constantly looking in the census and I ran across a Sandy Barrett in Mississippi a couple months back. It was 1880 Copiah,Miss.You have probably already been that route though.Do you have an idea of his brother' s name and I will keep an eye out. I print all info on Barrett's even though their don't match up to our line. Janet and Karen have done so much for me in there research they are the ones that probably have the answer.
