Would anybody have more information on the father of Tabitha Jane Barnett, b. 27 April 1828, TN, who married William C. Trull 23 July 1845. She died in 1876 after which William remarried. In the 1850 census, William and Tabitha are listed just below Elijha Barnett (b. NC, m. SC to Mary James) and Hiram Barnett. Family history indicates that her father (thought to be John) was a full-blooded Cherokee that had been orphaned as a baby. My gradfather had made some attempts to trace this line many years ago before so much information was available, but without any more luck. Also, the connection of Hiram to Elijha is also of interest just to make my records and other information more complete. It is thought that Tabitha had a brother (Kurt?) who spent some time in Carbondale. Again, any assistance would be appreciated. This has been one of those family brick walls for over 50 years. ===================================== Dr. William A.
